The goal was a softer, filmic look that separated the dark performer from the dark background. There is some subtle halation on the fencing in the background. Graded in Resolve Studio 17. -
ARRI Alexa LF
Cinema CamsThis video shows a couple of sample grades from stock footage shot with an ARRI Alexa LF. The primary focus was the character's skin, followed by enriching bounce colors from background lighting.

RED Helium 8K
Cinema CamsThis footage was originally graded on the prior-generation Mac Book Pro used in the studio. The goal was a 'commercial' look from stock RED Helium 8K footage.

RED Dragon

Sony A7 SIII
Cinema CamsThis was some more stock video taken from the Sony A7 S3 in SLog2 format. It was transferred to ACES 1.2 and then graded with the focus on a softer, more filmic look that was output to REC 709.

Most of the focus was on the baby's skin and complimentary colors. Graded in Davinci Resolve Studio 17. -
Canon C500 Mk II
Cinema CamsThis was one of the more challenging grades I've attempted from stock footage, this time from a Canon C500 Mk II. No matter how good the camera, there are always issues with filming mulitple shots in the dark under a variety of lighting conditions.

Go Pro 10 and Drone
Mixed CamerasThis was a personal experiment to see just how well the Go Pro 10 functioned as an A-Cam. It's mixed with drone footage in this project that includes not only aerial shots, but footage from inside a famous mine.

Night Videography

The look is rich and vibrant - almost like being in a dreeam. Graded in Davinci Resolve Studio 17. -
AMYR Tiger's Breath
VFXThis is a throwback to the old-school WinAmp waveform visualizer. The waveform moves to the beat of background audio. This presentation is unique in that Fusion FX is mixed with color grading that is intended to accentuate the video FX, not provide any specific look.

Graded in Davinci Resolve Studio 17 with Fusion FX. -
Drone Sky Replacement

View Video
This video starts with several example grades applied to DJI Mavic Mini footage that I shot on a very bright morning. The highlight is day-for-night where I did an evening sky replacement on the drone footage.
