Versimilitude is important in our genre of film trailer. In order to keep our film realistic, we colour corrected the orange tip of the gun to grey.
To achieve this in FinalCut Pro, we created a shape mask around the tip of the gun and by using an eyedropper, we managed to match the correct colour range of the tip.
By increasing the softness and reducing the vibrancy and saturation of the tip we created the grey/black colour mask on the tip of the gun. This was extremely beneficial as it enabled us to transform an obviously fake looking prop into something that looked far more realistic, enabling us to keep the realistic tone of the trailer intact.
Excellent. Well explained.
ReplyDeleteYou have paid attention to detail, which is key to creating convincing realism in this scene with firearms. I know that you have had to learn new skills to do this in FinalCutPro.
