FURIOSA'S Brilliant Day-for-Night work | A behind the scenes look at Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)
Take a quick behind the scenes look at the stunning use of day for night color grading in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga! So often in filmmaking we try to avoid day for night work because of the potential downsides, but George Miller, Simon Duggan, and the creative team managed to beautifully use the tools at their disposal to create excellent results. I got a chance to see this film in IMAX and I hope you do too!

"Tonal Contrast" and Shot Matching, where do they go in the node graph pipeline? Davinci Resolve

    I've been using Adobe Premiere Pro for over 10 years on my Windows 10 PC for our school's morning broadcast and it's been great. The hardest part for me was making the first project, but once I finally got it working, all I needed to do was insert the video presentations (i.e. 5 a week) and the that was it. Therefore, it's been years since I've done anything to create or modify the project. I just found out that the old Premiere Pro application is being replaced and since my PC was over 10 years old, I decided to purchase a new PC and it came with Windows 11. Therefore, I need help copying my old Premiere Pro projects to this new PC and application. I've been spending weeks doing this but the processes I've been finding has been very confusing. We're currently on summer break, so I have some time to work on this, but it's been a bit confusing. Is there any training session that is available for me to use and get this Premiere Pro applications going?

    Hi Barrett, great video. I've seen a lot of colourists use CSTs in the node view to control when the transformation into the output colour space happens, but DaVinci seem to encourage the use of colour management to convert to the output colour space before the node tree. Do you use CSTs in nodes out of habit or is there some tangible benefit to this? Thanks!

    • @BarrettKaufman

      Hey! Biggest benefit is control. Nothing wrong with using Project Level color management, but node based allows more options

    I was wondering if a creative LUT such as a film emulation would do more or less the same, pushing certain hues and saturation levels to a more cohesive look. Or would there be cases in which you would use this rgb-mixer method in conjunction with a creative LUT?

    • @BarrettKaufman
      @BarrettKaufman Před 5 dny

      It's pretty subjective, either can work. I know a colorist who exclusively uses Arri's log as his intermediate space That said, tools and plugins for Resolve often use Davinci Intermediate as their default so it can make sense to adopt it to standardize your workflow and tool compatibility

    I watched an interview where Eric Whipp, the colorist of Mad Max explained a few things about these day for night scenes (in fury road)… Here’s some of the points I found really interesting and wanted to share… he said that one of the main reasons they went for the day for night look was because the shoot was predominantly done in an open desert kind of an area where they have tons of continuously moving vehicles (that too fast)… it gets very difficult to light up a scene appropriately with such complex movements in the night…you’ll loose a lot of details in the shadows and on top of that they would have to deal with all that noise (no matter how fancy a camera is you basically can’t get rid of noise)… so they instead thought of going for that day for night look…he asked them to shoot all the scenes “overexposed” so that later in post they have a lot of room to play around with the shadows and bring down the overall exposure without loosing any significant details specially in the lower end of the image… also they did the sky replacement in most of the scenes to make the sky look believable… and in some of the scenes, Eric made the sun look like the moon instead…. Genius…isn’t it?🥹 BTW your rendition of the day for night was really cool…i thought it was an actual day4nyt scene from the movie until you turned off all the adjustments 😹
