The point of cinestyle is so the blacks and whites are not 'clamped' on capture. A normal quicktime for the sake of argument is captured so a consumer can watch it straight away on their TV. This isnt ideal for grading situation because your potentially loosing some information. Cinestyle helps...

well correct me if im wrong but if your using the cinestyle DSLR 'lut' or something else like it... its not an actual lut but a 'curve' that is baked into the quicktime file. So there is no actual colour conversion as such going on. It stays Rec709 through the whole process. But the cinestyle...

From what I understand what you want its just a fancy transition. So you film first camera moving up to ceiling, 2nd shot moving floor to desired height. In post you layer them up one on to of each other putting something inbetween to act as the building floor, crop the format and do a post...

Hey guys I remember there was some talk about doing some more vfx stuff to impove what was shot. If this is still the case im still up for doing it

This mabe usefull to you: http://tomcoster.uk/roto_tips/ Its an article i did awhile ago just with some roto tips. As for the shot looks pretty keyable from what im seeing. Try doing a general roto shape around specific areas and do seprate keys to thoes areas then add them together with a bit...

It could be a spec of dust on the lens or sensor thats visible when you crank exposure? Either way you can just shift something from the left of the footage next to the spec to patch over the top of it. This will remove it.

Hey, yea im game for tweaking the lights a the end to make it a more intimidating. Checking out the edit im kinda keen to improve the wide beach shots with a nice sky replacement to make it look a bit more intresting, not sure if you guys agree? Prehaps its something that can be improved by some...

Looks like a TV interlace sort of effect where there are thin black and white horizontal lines that are probably animated a little and then screened over the footage. There is also some chromatic aberation effect going on, where you split and offset the RGB channels slightly.

Hey, been a few weeks... How far along is the edit? Any updates :)

Cool idea why not add a Inception like crumbling city in the background too. You could do it by drawing a flip book of a crumbling city, filming the flipbook in process, and then puting it in the background of the actor by keying him/her. It may look like crap tho. My point being whole VFX teams...

Looks cool, will be good when sound is finished on it. ATM i would say its hard to judge too much on the edit till there is a final combined peice. Then I can get a sense of pace etc. Keep it up so far so good.

Well if i was going to grade to get this sort of look id raise the black point a bit and lower the white point a bit to a mid tone sort of territory then raise the gamma a little so there is less contrast between the midpoint and the blacks. Colour wise it looks pretty neutral with a...

Cant use Exodus in a showreel till its out on DVD :( kind of sucks think I did more work on it than the others so would have been good to put in. Cheers, fixed :)

Hey, Been about 4-5 years scince I done a reel so decided it was time for an update. Its mostly stuff ive done professionally as a roto prep artist. Hope you enjoy. https://vimeo.com/113238940 http://tomcoster.org/

Great stuff! Watched the whole thing, take that as a compliment :). Only thing I would say is you should put a title at the begining and end with your name and contact details etc. If i just watched that linked somewhere I wouldnt know who you are. But yea some sweet work there, congratulations.

So recently Fusion 7 (a compositing program) by Blackmagic has been rebranded and there are two versions, 1 Free version and 2 Studio Version. Now tbh most people unless you are a high end studio wont notice the difference. This is intresting because it looks like Fusion 7 is placed inbetween...

Im sure it will tie together fine. If not we can allways resort to repurposing the Indiana Jones travel map cut away.

yea i was basically talking about the barn doors (was blank on the name in original post) but if grading fixes it thats cool. Sound will make a massive difference. If we get to the end with a locked edit and feel some subtle vfx things (dust, cam shake etc) will add I dont mind taking that on...

Looks great wheat great job! Night shoots are hard to pull off. Not sure how others feel about this but the wide shot where you can see the that the lights are actually lights needs a bit of enhansment. I would be willing to do this if it will help?

Wordpress is easy tbh using templates i used godaddy in the past cost about £20 or something for the year. You could try moonfruit however. Its super easy drag and drop stuff, can drag in own artwork etc. Can be free with a bit of minor advertisment down the side, tho i would say getting a...
