i believe colorista II actually has the option to pull specific hues from a scene. Go to the little red dot and pull it towards the center (look around until you see what I'm talking about... or go to stu's site prolost.com and find the tutorial). Your other option is of course to make everything just a little more cyan to counteract the red.

it's distance. the farther the camera from the subject, the wider the lens, the slower the movement will appear.

this thread is about a year old, but i'm bringing it up anyway because i just found this site. anyone wanna grab a beer, respond or PM me. Living in hell's kitchen now.

And I live in New York. I'm always looking to reach out to other filmmakers. Anytime I'm not working or at school (Brooklyn College film student) I'd love to be an extra set of hands on set, or if you got a position open I'm a pretty solid DP (great at low budget lighting... remember about that being a student? Yeah.) I shoot on a 7D, record audio to a Zoom h4n, and if you need a little extra help on anything, shoot me a PM. A friend and I are starting up a production company together, we both have tons of experience but we're looking to really get our foot in the door as a company, let us know if there's anything we can do for you (or if you have any advice!)

as far as grouping them together or not, it really depends on the footage you're working with. if you have a broad series of cool shots that are at least somewhat similar, then don't worry about grouping them together. if you're only drawing from a few projects and they're all very distinct, might be better to keep them with the other shots from the project. some shots may look bland or confusing by themselves but work fantastically as part of their sequence.

to my eyes, you have about three or four really cool projects you draw from and five or six boring/flat ones. lose the flat ones, keep the strong ones and draw more from them if possible. if not, just cut it down. like in any other aspect of filmmaking, losing the bad parts makes the good stronger, even if it means shorter. not that the "bad" parts are bad, just not what i'd be looking for in a DP reel-- flat, boring, simple. They may service the story completely, but they don't service your reel. the cool parts are really cool though, good job.
