  • @GarenEvansMusic
    @GarenEvansMusic Před 6 lety +11

    The reason for why this looks bad is because for this effect to work is to have an overcast sky or no direct sunlight on the subject or the landscape. Also, you might want to give it a bit more contrast and under expose the shot to the shot.
    Here’s a tutorial on how to really achieve this look on Resolve: czcams.com/video/ZL_sKBYqjJQ/video.html

    • @RockG.o.d
      @RockG.o.d Před 6 lety +2

      Easier way to get rid of the blue in the sky, if I can’t avoid getting some of the sky, change the sky blue to a whiter shade by changing the colour. Then do a mask over the whole footage.

    The key to good day for night is to have lights in the background. So car headlights house lights etc especially if you can boost those lights somehow. Not so much car lights but house lights with much stronger lights in than usual to give the impression that they are the normal brightness when you darken everything down.

    Great tutorial! The only thing that really gives it away is the blue sky and especially in the drone shots. Do you have any ideas on cleaning up or crushing some of the blue in the sky? The Sony shots could definitely pass as a night shoot if the blue in the sky was less. I would love to hear your thoughts on this!

    • @mattih
      @mattih  Před 7 lety +6

      Yep you could crush highlights even more. But IF you didnt know that was a day time shot your mind probably would have attributed it to moonlight. Of course you can finesse this technique wayyy more but its just to give you an example of what happens a lot of the time

      Maybe it's the music too. I think you're right and maybe combined with a proper night score and foley audio I think it would trick the viewer much more.

    • @mattih
      @mattih  Před 7 lety +2

      Yep exactly. All the other stuff thats used to trick the mind. The over exposure on the drone footage is a bit too much but even moonlight can over expose things if you were exposed to the people.

    • @backpocket718
      @backpocket718 Před 7 lety

      TravelFeels probably wouldn't look super natural but couldn't you do motion tracking on subject (mostly center of frame and have that move a mask that is gradually more blurry at the edges and crisp in the center. probably best to keep it very subtle tho. i often shoot with gopros and smart phones because I can't carry my dslr and lenses everywhere so I was wondering if I could pull the effect off for b roll clips to give them a better cinematic effect. thinking close ups on people and blurred backgrounds.

  • @filmdigital
    @filmdigital Před 3 lety +1

    I think your grading technique is fine, but I would avoid wide shots that show large areas of sky. It's these shots that give it away the most. Things like your actors running down the steps, could have been done in a medium / medium wide shot that avoided showing much sky. I'm shooting some day for night scenes in woodland at the moment and adjusting your shots to avoid bright areas of sky, etc makes a huge difference. Also, shoot on a dull day (if possible), with the sun overhead to try and minimise visible shadows.
