How to achieve this blur effect - https://imgur.com/a/XHsWwSf

I'm going to shoot something similar to the attached video.can some guess the lens used in this video. it got a soft old lens to feel to it or is this some kind of filter used to get this look. Thank you Miles

Thank you all for the valuable input. :)

Hi. I will be shooting something very soon and I'm trying to create the orange and teal look - orange for characters and teal for the background. any kind of advice on the filter on the light, color balance in camera and or anything that can help me. I have attached some reference. Thank you :) https://imgur.com/Q5dcGZg https://imgur.com/mECAiYm https://imgur.com/HHap0tJ https://imgur.com/LpNpM77

Just saw this film - Bleed for this. my initial feeling was it was shot on film since it got the film grain. when I check making it looked like it shot on Alexa. My question how did they manage to get that organic feel like a film in a digital camera. Did they add film grain texture in the post or is it some kind filter or is it lens. Any kind of advice on this is helpful to me. Thank you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ6ny-fROX8

Thanks a lot :)

Hello all, I'm looking for before the graded image like the one below just to understand the grading. so please help if you can. Thank you :) Before

Thanks a lot for the advice. could suggest some lens diffusion as you mention. I have used 1/8 black pro mist. on my last project, I loved the look. but only I didn't like the blowing out of the high light way too much even in 1/8 of density. is there any other diffusion to get the softness of skin still keeping the eyes sharpness with blowing the high light. Thank you.

Hi. How one should go about to recreate this particular look in terms of lens, Filter, and lighting. any advice will be great. Thank you.

Could somebody tell me what lens this Apple commercial was shot on? I just love the character of this lens.

Thank a lot David for the reply. Another question, is it okay to grade in Arri Raw format in resolve without converting to Log?.

What is the meaning of process of ARRIRAW footage to Log C encoding with ALEXA wide gamut color space and how one should be able to do it?

Dear Bruce, firstly thank you for the reply. I watched both the grade (Rec709 and P3 color space) in P3 projector and i noticed what i mentioned which is P3 color looks nice and Rec709 not that good. i'm not a colorist. sorry if i didn't mention in main post. I'm a DP and this is my first film so all this is very new to me so trying to understand how i can get the best possible image out of what i shot. What is the correct work flow. coz i have seen what the image can look if done in the right way & also how bad it can look with the same footage. so next time i can be more careful before going into grade. Yes you are correct the teaser was graded in Baselight in P3 with cinema 4k projector and converted to Rec709 for youtube.. My main problem is that i was not lucky enough to do the entire project in baselight with proper cinema projector as my teaser coz of financial constraints and ended up grading in Davinci resolve with rec709 monitor. Is there a rule of thumb I should go by for future feature films? Thank you once again.

Thank you the reply.

Hi. I'm a novice at grading & it in need of some help. I recently shot my first film in Arri Alexa XT in Raw 2.8k. i graded the final film in DaVinci resolve for theatrical and my colorist told me the Rec709 Gamma 2.4 is a very good color space to work. so everything was Rec709 Gamma 2.4.( input color space/timeline color space/output color space). Also i did small teaser grade of the same film in Baselight in P3 color space. Teaser Below Personally i felt P3 is much better compare to Rec709 in colors and black. i know that P3 color gamut is wider than Rec709. so here is my question . 1. Is Rec709 gamma 2.4 is good color space for theatrical release ?( input color space/timeline color space/output color space). 2. What is the correct workflow for film theatrical release? 3. This is my colorist workflow - Arriraw- Arri Raw to rec 709 lut then from here on rest of the grade. is this the right way? I felt that when you apply the Arri raw to rec709 LUT there is something wrong with image saturation and specially the black which becomes grainy even though I have shot with good exposure. I'm trying to figure out this for very long time so any kind of guides and advice will be great.

Thank you all for the help :)
