Practice = training. I wasn't implying you needed paid training, just that whatever learning you can seek out... as you're currently doing. Push the wheels too far, see what it does. Present them for critique. You seem to be doing all the right things. You'll never know the questions to ask...

it is getting a lot better. Note in the first shot posted that the sky has a gradient. You may need to add one to the skies that are blown out (use a luma matte to apply to the sky without changing the values of the trees. Compare the blues in the snow between shots. Overlay the two shots...

Use a tape measure and grab the distance from the front of the camera body to where your eyes will be. Set the lens to that number, turn off auto focus and it'll be locked perfectly so long as you don't move back and forth too much. Stop down and either add light or bump up the ISO (or a combo...

Haven't seem many of those. There used to be newsroom looking 2D backdrops at digital juice.com for doing talking head pieces. For quick set construction, you can make a cube, scale it up, then texture the walls. Most rooms are simply boxes with holes in them anyway. The wall textures can be...

I did a tutorial on adding natural shake (CF's post it note idea) a while back... doesn't explain the process to well, sorry. http://youtu.be/eSiFmEDl_gY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSiFmEDl_gY

Like the straight man in a comedy team, good character actors are horribly underestimated. Such a loss.

Woohoo! I get a cookie :)

I'd argue the hilights want the blue (snow) and the mids want the yellows (tree bark) to get the middle shot to match the colors of the other two. The rest of will's post is right on.

Shoot in the day time, near an open window. Put a large white sheet hanging on the other side of you to bounce the light back at you.

The company that owns the software can bar you from release. Making all the hard work of everyone on your production worthless for anything other than experience. If you have the misfortune of it making any money, you can be sued.

What kind of camera? Without seeing the setup/shot, there's nothing more than guesses at the fix.

Start here. It's a 9 part series and focuses on final cut, but the technique is the same in every editing/grading package. http://youtu.be/q6i_qPcRyU8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6i_qPcRyU8

A good chunk of the glow may be too high a contrast in your shot. Do you have a screen shot for us to look at and analyze?

I started at 35

Depending on which way is north and the time of day, you may only need to do some front screen left fill on the subject as the two big windows will provide cross light for you. The screen right key seems to be window light in the provided image, or may be lights outside the window based on the...

Youtube searches for each lens and your camera model will often get you to a video where someone is actually testing it for you… I've been impressed with what I saw of the Angineieiouaiouieax line (sorry, just had a vowel movement). It was a few years ago… but glass doesn't' change. I'm still...

The skin tones should fall on the "Flesh Line" in your vector scope. I just covered this in a different thread (although for a different problem). Temporarily crop your image to the key side cheek of your subject and change your color balance of the mids in your 3-way color corrector to land...

Just a reminder: http://www.indietalk.com/showthread.php?t=4567 As a moderator, religious discussions fall under this rule for me. If we're discussing the topic as it applies to film making… yes. As soon as it becomes a religious debate, no. That's not what we're here for. We all have to...
