Bright, Bold colours?

TeeJay wrote on 11/10/2005, 7:02 AM

I have some nice vision of my 10 month old baby girl happily playing in her room with all of her brightly coloured toys.
I would like to really accentuate the colours (greens, reds, blues, yellows etc) but retain the skin tones.

I have tried a chain of Secondary Colour Correctors (one for each colour) with limited success. I am getting too much bleed into neighboring colours.
Does anyone have any suggestions please. Maybe a different plugin or set of plugins. A couple of the Ultimate S presets accentuate it a little but not exactly what I am after.

Regards,

T

I'd like to have a go at that one - Sounds interesting . .If you were on SKYPE we could communicate and do a talk thru? Yeah?

Do you want to send me a "sample" jpg still and I could use this as reference and see what I can do . . yes?

Grazie

MIGHT be as simple as boosting your saturation a bit, no?
Then maybe add a bit of contrast, but without seeing a still-frame, it's hard to guess.

Have a look at this tool as it's quite useful for punching up color too, and is fast/easy.

Thank you, Spot! 6cc is simple and amazing. Sony should buy it and include it in Vegas.

Wow, thanks for the responses!

Grazie, special thanks for the kind offer, although i did download the 6cc tool that Spot mentioned and it is exactly the thing i am looking for, so thank you for that.

Cheers,

Cool tool.
Is there a repository for all such tools, filters and such?

Various Vegas plugins

Just one thought.
There's a limit to just how far you can push video, not just because of issues with gamut but simply because, well TVs just cannot reproduce very lush colours.
Recently there's been a Nokia add on TV and there's these what seem to be most amazing reds in it. Took me a while to workout how they'd pushed the colour through the TV system until I remembered something from a book on CCing. Suggestion was if you cannot wind up the color on something then do the reverse, wind it down on everything around it.
Well that's what they'd done in the ad, the reds weren't really anything magic, they just look that way because everything around them has been toned down.
