“COLOR SHIFT” is a look development tool to shift and manipulate colors in a broad way. You can add vibrancy, density and more to the main colors red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow.
The “Hue Twist” DCTL works by ‘twisting’ hue values towards their neighboring colors, but the interesting aspect here is that it does so based on the brightness value of the respective hue.
The RGB Crosstalk DCTL simplifies the process of the RGB Mixer by preserving neutral colors during channel adjustments. The design maintains a constant total color value, ensuring neutral colors remain neutral.
The ‘RGB Split Tone Hi Lo’ and ‘RGB Split Tone Hi Mid Lo’ DCTLs offer targeted control over the RGB channels in your footage, allowing for film-like tonality in highlights, shadows, and even mid-tones. With a built-in slope function, these tools enable fine-tuned adjustments to the curve’s steepness, making it easier to emulate classic film characteristics.
The “Utility DCTL” pack encompasses tools for image analysis and adjustment. It includes the “Balance DCTL” for analyzing skin tones in footage and managing color deviations, the “Clipping DCTL” for identifying and handling clipping in light or dark areas, and the “Isolator” features for color isolation in bright and dark regions, emphasizing ‘pure’ colors.
This project is about reproducing characteristics that I personally associate with film aesthetics. I have therefore dealt intensively with the emulation of Film Stock and decided to built two film stocks of my own.
I created my own “Soft 2 Strip”-Look. A variation on the orange & teal look. I selected films that also have a “Soft 2 Strip” look and tried to see if I could reproduce the look with my “Soft 2 Strip” PowerGrade.
A “light leak” occurs when there is a gap in the housing of a camera, camera magazine or other optical instrument that allows light to “enter” and in this way exposes the film to additional light.
I wanted an intuitive blanking option where you change the aspect ratio fast using sliders for the edit page, so I created my own “Blanking Generator”. FOR FREE.
