Joe Taylor Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Going to be shooting a music video with a RED ONE that will be released as B&W. Can anybody guide me in the right direction as were to start from image acquisition to final release. I know there are many plugins for digital b&w still photography, but I have not been so lucky to find a b&w plugin for Final Cut. With Canon EOS cameras, the shooter can actually set the camera up for B&W and even use B&W filters. I'm not sure this is doable with the RED ONE. Research, on my part, is needed. I have time.

Sam Wells Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 You can do B&W in Color (Color in the FCS 2 suite). There is Red Giant "Looks" as an FCP plugin, tho I haven't used it. http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/products/a...c-bullet-looks/ I do conversions to B&W in Shake which can offer a great degree of control & finesse but that will not be fast. With DSLR's selecting a B&W mode means the camera is doing the conversion for you, (or in RAW mode is using that model of conversion as a picture control setting) based on a kind of typical weighting of converting RGB values; it can look OK but you have far more control if you DIY. -Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Taylor Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Would there be any benefits with shooting with b&w colored filters in RED RAW then converting with COLOR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Wells Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Would there be any benefits with shooting with b&w colored filters in RED RAW then converting with COLOR? No just the opposite IMO. In a sense the more differentiated color values you have the more greyscale values you can map them to. -Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Brereton Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I've used the DFT 55mm B&W plugin. It gives you controls for Brightness, Contrast, and Gamma, as well as virtual B&W filters. It's pretty good, but frankly it didn't seem to do anything that you couldn't do with the 3-way color correction filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
