Why Can’t Coloring Footage Be That Easy?
search

We recently shot a few fun on-the-spot interviews for a workshop that our good friends Zach & Jody put on here in Nashville, TN. During the shoot we got to interview some really cool cats who attended the workshop! Heather & I are pretty addicted to an app called Instagram for iphones. Basically, it makes normal people like us look like freakin amazing photographers, using only our iphones and a few filters!

Since we didn’t get a chance to Instagram during our shoot the other night, I came home, grabbed a frame from video, and put it up on Instagram! Once I posted it up on Instagram, Heather & I were lookin at it and I said “Hey…wouldn’t it be cool if we could color our footage that easy?” Then I started thinkin How hard would it be to grade some footage to look like one of the Instagram filters.

I’ll be the first to admit that we don’t always do things the proper technical way you should. With that said, here are a few shots of the progress we made on some footage we’re workin on.

Below is a quick vid showing the difference between the orignal and graded shots! BAM:)

Now like I said earlier, we don’t always do things the way the books say to do it. We just figure out the look we want, and then have at it until we get what we want. There are a trillion ways to get to the final graded footage that we got, but here are screen shots of the color grading progressions during our grading fun. icon smile Instagram | Why Cant Coloring Footage Be That Easy?

…Oh wait…ready for the kicker…We did this in FCPX…gasssp:) Each screen shot you see is a different color correction. There were 10 total, and then a nice signature Instagram vignette at the end:)

I think we got pretty close!! There’s still a lil difference between the two, but we wouldn’t want to make it look exactly like Instagram would we? (Okay, yeah we would, but I got tired and went to bed) icon smile Instagram | Why Cant Coloring Footage Be That Easy?
