Mr. De Stefanis gave us a very interesting class on the basics of colour correction on Thursday the 18th of April]]> 2019-11-18 14:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/412714616 AlexiosTsipis https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/412717276 After a few e-mails, the interview with professional colourist Mr. Marco De Stefanis was agreed upon for October the 1st.]]> 2019-11-18 14:36:20 UTC https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/412717276 AlexiosTsipis https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/412721944 2019-11-18 14:41:16 UTC https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/412721944 AlexiosTsipis https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/412723027 2019-11-18 14:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/412723027 AlexiosTsipis https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/412727546 This e-mail was sent by me to mr. Thompson who was also the director of our short film. 

Once I concluded my research and interview one thing was clear for the function of the colourist. 

The voice of the director has to be translated into colours, hence the e-mail of trying to see what is wanted by him.]]> 2019-11-18 14:48:33 UTC https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/412727546 AlexiosTsipis https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/412729473 E-mail received by the director to confirm on the tone/colour of the film

19th of November
Once I received the e-mail from our director (Patrick Thompson) I proceeded with informing Mr. Marco De Stefanis about the instructions I have received. His reply cleared some things up for me and helped me understand what colour correction type I am going for.

The page is called @filmandcolor.
They take stills from movies and analyse them in terms of colour.

It's safe to say that it inspired me a lot and made me want to colour grade the film as soon as possible. ]]> 2019-11-28 12:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/417478023 AlexiosTsipis https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/417478551 Another page I stumbled upon and started following is one that displays the colours of FULL movies in 1 poster like image. These movies and type of extensive colour boards were also seen in a link shared by our director Patrick Thompson.

Little Miss Sunshine. (high saturation)
&
Burn After Reading. (high contrast)

However, the requirements of the director were relatively easy to be met therefore I decided to complete the colour correction on Final Cut Pro. I did that by setting keyframes for the different scenes and adjusted the colour value adequately for each. ]]> 2019-11-28 13:23:57 UTC https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/417486502 AlexiosTsipis https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/417488496 Listed below this post you can find 4 pictures of the normal VS the graded material / drafts for now. ]]> 2019-11-28 13:31:14 UTC https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/417488496 AlexiosTsipis https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/417494368 2019-11-28 13:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/417494368 AlexiosTsipis https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/417494462 2019-11-28 13:51:50 UTC https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/417494462 AlexiosTsipis https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/417494563 2019-11-28 13:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/417494563 AlexiosTsipis https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/417494721 2019-11-28 13:52:41 UTC https://padlet.com/AlexiosTsipis/2s0qlw27tdnl/wish/417494721
