VMA Week 2 tutorial

Week 2 Tutorial

I have again included screen shots to show what i did to the already keyed footage

I am not sure about the grading though. I find it a bit too yellow, but that's the style that could fit into the scene.

Ungraded shot of main figure

A mask was created to disguise the writing in the bike mirror.

First grade of main figure

Screen shot of Project

I have kept it all organised & therefore will be easy to find all my clips & files

Motion tracker added to still background

Added a motion tracker to let the still background move with the camera motion.

Added mask to mirror of bike

Colour grading of background Gang figures

Shot 1 - Graded (with adjustment layer)

All shots used the same grade. Backgrounds & green screen shots also had separate grade, with minor adjustments to compensate for different lighting levels.

Shot 5 CU - Graded

Adjusted background so that it wasn't completely black after grading.

Graded Shot 6 - Gang

Graded Shot 6 - Gang (re-grade of Michelle & mirror mask)

It was a case of Michelle being really grainy & re-grading her to fit in with the scene.

Re-grade of shot 4 masks

Just copied over colour effects & gaussian blur from shot 6 to shot 4 to match.

Graded Shot 7

Finished & Graded Shot 3

Added an adjustment layer to all shots to get n overall colour grade. Also altered some to get rid of unwanted darkness.

Finished graded Shot 8

I wasn't quite sure on the grade. Maybe spent a little too much time refining it.

Even though this took a while, overall, I am pleased with the result.

Peace.
