Brian Drysdale Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 The setups will vary from camera model to camera model. You can do it using the multi matrix and a vector scope - having a set up chart will help. Basically you reduce the colour saturation until they're a tight bundle in the centre of the scope - it's a slow adjustment reducing each colour, so they don't cross over on the scope as you're pulling them down. Then adjust the red channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Palm Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 what are your post options? I remember doing it before in FCP, my teacher would give out random assignments in high school (this effect being one of them_. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Michael Nash Posted March 9, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted March 9, 2007 Then adjust the red channel. Just be clear that we're talking about "red" in a matrix that can adjust hue and saturation, not the "Red channel" as in RGB. You can't adjust saturation with RGB levels. You'd just end up with a red-tinted image instead of a black and white image with a red subject in it. Sometimes it can be tough to separate out red from the red component in fleshtones. You'll probably have to narrow the range or "width" quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mosh mishali Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 I'm sorry i forgot to mention we're shooting with sony DSR 450 and i am planning to use the multi matrix function but i'm not sure about doing it the right way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
