Colorcorrection

Hi

I have a 2 camera shoot done last staurday with an "Elvis". One camera was handheld in the front at stage and the other was at the back, static, with a zoomed in wideshot of the whole stage. There was a lot of sort of hard light on the "Elvis" guy himself, so his face is quite bright / white through this camera - the musicians were not affected by this.
Is there a way to make it a bid warmer?

I know that it is hard to say in general terms, but if you could maybe point me i a direction, where I could play with some certain filters.

Thanks in advance

/Ulf

Good morning Ulf! - I've now sent you my approach.

I took the "liberty" of some judicious use of a Bezier Mask on the signage and "Elvis" poster. I "feel" it is more CABARET now, rather than Village/Civic/Church Hall! Lol!! - If "Content is King", then "Narrative drives the bus"!

HTH,

Grazie

Just send money!!! - Lol . .

Pleasure. As I said, off-World, it is a fine balance between contrasty-blacks and washed-out dirty whites. And THAT is what IS the story is you want to tell?

Grazie

If you're registered at VASST, they have a couple of tutorials about correcting stage lighting.
