all right YouTube in today's cool tutorial we're gonna be doing a very

interesting high-end commercial look relatively simple with a easy few steps

before we start I want to say special thank you to ruff film for providing

this clip for you guys be sure to check them out links in the description below

okay so here we have our clip from rah film to be fair it's not raw file I'm

working on right now I specifically downloaded 1080p version so technically

I don't even know what configuration of this log right now I'm looking if we're

gonna go here we can see that there's no information it's been shot on red camera

but as of right now it's a pro res file so we're kind of basically starting the

blind game I know a lot of you guys been saying that I always collar great raw

files so to be fair and now we're working with the pro res the way you can

see the concept is the same anyways so I'm gonna do a new note okay just like

this and for this one I'm gonna call this one exposure / contrast okay and

it's very simple all I have to do right now is to play with the contrast because

I really wanted to give a nice high-end commercial kind of look so we give it a

nice punch okay so I think like that looks great let's check it out before

and after really quick okay I think like that looks pretty cool now pay attention

also I'm not dropping down my blacks all the way down because we have to kind of

make a common sense out of it and if you look at the picture we can see that

there is nothing really technically a hundred percent black so there's no

reason for us to drop this kind of thing I know a lot of people make a mistake

they always drop this thing down but don't be one of those people do not drop

exposure always down okay it's not the right thing to do

so another new note and now we're gonna start introducing a little bit of look

now of course depending on how things shut and the locational that order of

operation is completely different so in this case I'm gonna start working on the

water because it's kind of overcast and relatively the water is clean and this

is a really cool thing about shooting like that

we actually have a little bit of color in the water and this is fantastic

because now we can actually do whatever we want so if I'm gonna go on the

qualifier over here and I'm gonna turn on the highlight I'm gonna click on the

water and we you can just drag it up a little bit

we basically selected all the water so I'm gonna go down a little bit because I

don't want to introduce that selection to a little beanie and the glasses so

what I'm gonna do now I'm gonna do clean black a little bit and clean white okay

something like this and I'm gonna start introducing blur radius because the

action happens so quickly at this point even if there's a little bit of noise

because it's a water and splashes and whatnot we actually can completely get

away with it so we still have a little bit of beanie let's do more more black

just like that okay and now we have a very nice clean selection so I'm gonna

get out of there and I'm gonna start introducing saturation okay so we have a

very nice saturated water and now what I'm gonna do just what a hue I can

completely change how it looks so I kind of want to do a little bit sort of teal

let's check it out before and after before we had a little bit green now

it's a little bit teal I think it looks a little bit more pleasant to our eyes

like that however it's absolutely your decision

you can make it blue you can make it green it's completely up to you there in

this case green and blue working very well together so there is no right or

wrong in this case okay so here we have it what happens now I'm gonna do another

note and now just to save my time on

selecting things I'm gonna connect this little blue to arrow and if we're gonna

go back we have exactly the same selection so what we can do now is to go

in a key and we can reverse it okay so it's a very cool trick that you can do

that way you can save a little bit I'm that way don't have to pick things

again and you know whatever the client sitting in the back would not so it's a

really cool technique to use anyways so now we're basically working on the skin

okay so with the skin what I'm gonna do well the first thing I want to do I want

to give it a little bit of pop so again I'm gonna do a little bit of contrast

okay and with the pivot I'm gonna go a little bit down because I don't want to

go too much and I wanted to look too crazy okay so just like that is okay and

what we can do now if we want we can introduce a little bit more contrast or

we can actually minimize the contrast so let me do a point here and by the way

there's multiple ways of doing this and I'm gonna do a point here and basically

by dragging this down we can control how much contrast we'll want if we want to

introduce we'll go up if you want to minimize will go down so let's see I

kind of want to do a little bit let's see something something like this a

thing looks cool let's check it out before and after so now we start getting

a very overall nice image look at that it looks like a high-end commercial now

let's go again before and after okay so that's pretty cool another thing what we

can do and it's relatively very simple trick but in a shots like that it works

very very well so let's go into window and select a little circular little

window over here like this okay let's inverse this and introduce a little bit

of vignette ago to a swimmer now I wanted to do a little bit aggressive in

this case so something like that a nice vignette that way nobody can tell

so let's see really quick before and after and as we can see we'll start

getting that very high-end looking commercial it's very simple relatively I

mean we're only doing like very basic steps so what I'm gonna do now is we're

gonna do a very interesting technique we're gonna call this one bleach bypass

okay and with this one I'm gonna go over here into RGB mixer I'm gonna select

monochrome and then monochrome I'm gonna adjust my settings that way primarily

his skin looks nice okay it's very simple I'm not gonna go in this tutorial

about the science behind RGB channels I've covered that in my previous videos

but I'm just gonna dial it by the eye now when you work on RGB it's very

important let me zoom in over here it's very important that you don't do too

much because you're gonna start getting a lot of artifacts if you're gonna crank

one of the parameters too much so it's gonna be unusable so when you do make

sure that your skin still looks relatively good we're not just skin in

general your image because you don't want to introduce this kind of a blotchy

artifact on anything okay so really quick before and after so it looks

really cool to my eyes what I'm gonna do now all l we're gonna convert it in a

layer mixer we're gonna go over here and we're gonna select soft light so now it

kind of looks like Saving Private Ryan which I don't want to do because I still

want to kind of keep that fresh commercial look so I'm gonna select all

this right click create compound node okay just like that and again we're

gonna go into key window and with a gain I'm gonna be able to control how much I

want to introduce that look okay so depending on the commercial or the field

that you want to introduce basically you dial in so you

flavor okay and this is how we color great progress file and make it look

very nice and cinematic very rich in a few easy steps so thank you guys for
