We all know color can be used to create mood through contrast and affinity in HSV etc...
My question is... How do you fit this into your editing workflow.
To me, color is extremely important and planning/chosing is causing me quite a bit of headache. I know.. Toss a coin and pick em and just go with it.
However its not that easy. Edits can go so many ways, how we cut, how we structure it etc. Staring endlessly at teh same clips as you try to structure your edit while worrying about color can cause a bunch of nightmares. Atleast in my case, it has forced me to redo entire ideas... sometimes never being happy with the result because of the almost infiniate possibilities of color and structure.
My question is... How do you fit color correction into your edit workflow. Do you rough cut and play with color.... then go full into the edit, and then do all of your color work afterwards?
I'm working on an action sports like edit where locations change quite a bit, cameras settings change quite a bit.... night time and day shots... desert like shots, urban shots etc. The footage is very varried, though well shot in composition and exposures etc.
I know i can control color per location "Desert is blue and orange tone" etc.. But of course what if i want a more crushed black and less saturated look for other locals.
Chosing color has become a nightmare on this project. So has figuring how to fit the color correction process into the edit workflow.
