Beach
February 8th 2012 05:35
Beach shoot from Saturday.
Found I had far too much footage. So, instead of incorporating something from the actual surfboat race, I just restricted myself to footage of the girls. And, even so, I ran out of time with this. Fairly satisfied with it, but for the final shot -- it's too bright. Colour grading needs to be tweaked.
Two editing discoveries:
-- If you raise the black point in your Levels effect, you make the colours look a lot more "candy". Not sure why.
-- Pretty much any sort of music goes with beach shots...
On to the next one...

Notes
-- 10 February 2012: Just read this in an article about signal to noise ratio: "Noise reduction software can be used to selectively reduce both chroma and luminance noise, however complete elimination of luminance noise can result in unnatural or 'plasticy' looking images." Maybe something like that is going on when I'm raising the black point in Levels...
