  1. Thank you Bruce! I will take youe adviceI have been using photoshop for quiet some time and feel pretty confident in it enough tk retouch and color okd photos I guess I’m not as confident in trusting my gut about emotion since it can be interpreted so differently depending on the viewer. If you have any reference text/textbook/online course etc; I’d love to learn more about color theory and this is mostly a DP forum you are right maybe I should check out Resolve. As a DP yourself how might YOU go about achieving some of those looks on site? (Out of curiousity)

     

    I was trying to be encouraging for you to learn color correction :)

     

    I would however strongly disagree with your idea that a neutral/flat photographic style can be manipulated into any look you choose. If this were true, we cinematographers would not sweat so much about the lighting and exposure on the set!.

     

    Sorry to not have a simple answer for you. Your questions are far too complex for a forum. I would suggest, that if you are not already a Photoshop expert, that you learn color correction there first, then migrate that knowledge to Davinci Resolve or other color grading software. It took me a good year or more of learning Photoshop before I ever tried color correcting and matching shots in a movie. After color correcting at least five feature films, I still only know about 85% of Davinci Resolve software :)

    I don't think without watching your film, anyone can answer your question. Sorry to say, either you have the skills of a colorist, or ... you don't have them yet. You can spend a lot of time learning on your film, which is not a bad idea, or you can go to a professional and skilled colorist.

     

    If your film has not been photographed and art directed in the style of "Call me", you may have a difficult time to make it look like it. But, there's really no good reason to copy another film anyway. You will want what works best with your material.

     

    So, if you're not on a tight deadline, welcome to colorist school! Good luck :)

     

    The whole idea is to learn which is why I am asking here, I don't think that was the most constructive feedback. I am aware of "hiring" a professional colorist and I am not trying to give my film that entire look I am interested in HOW it was achieved. My film has more melancholy tone so I was asking for color theory suggestions, I should have been more clear. If you shoot pretty neutral/flat you can really manipulate anything.

  3. I know that there is a lot of natural lighting but this is definitely done in post.

     

    Memory-like/love tone:

    Sadder tone:

    Could you link to an image of what you're talking about?

     

    Not sure how far along you are, but a misconception people can have early on is that the colors on the final product were via computer grading when it was actually the physical lighting choices in production design.

  4. Hello fellow filmmakers!

     

    I have been editing in premier and color grading in davinci resolve. Ive actually enjoyed the process more than I thought I would but am curious how to achieve certain moods and tonws.

     

    I love the memory type of colors we get in call me by your name during the grass scene how might I achieve that?

     

    Overall the film has a very blue tone so how might you suggest I grade more romantic scenes, sad scenes, neutral scenes?

     

    Lastly, I have had trouble transferring slow motion from premier to resolve any advice?

     

    Thanks so much!

  5. Thanks I'll keep all this in mind! Any tips/suggestions for the crowd noise?

     

     

    Normally you want to make some space for the dialogue - voices tend to fall most in the 300hz to 2khz range so you'd probably want to pull some of the music frequencies down in that range.

     

    Other things with parties is thinking about where the speakers are and adjust scene to scene. So if your in the next room - the walls will attenuate the high frequency and only the bass will get through. Attenuating more HF as you get further away from the source of music (e.g up stairs) will make it more belivable. Different audio e.q's for different rooms. If the sound perspective changes as actors move around the space - it helps sell the gag.

     

    You do have to be quite aggressive with the e.q to get the rumble through the walls sound - try cutting everything above 300hz by 12db's and start from their for your distant shots and bring the treble back for shots close to the speakers.

     

    Also put a subtle bit of room reverb on the music/hubbub to diffuse it. Again the size of the reverb room effect should match the physical space (lets is more).

     

    You might want to include a bit of audio distortion on the music - to warm it up and give a sense that its being played on speakers. A bit of distortion can make it sound like its being played on a overloaded sound system - rather then pristine audio thats too clean. Lots of plugins for this.

     

    Or you could put a hi-fi system in an actual room of correct size - turn it up, play the track, then record with a microphone in the space - that way you will get natural room acoustics and distortion burned into your music track - then overlay your recorded version of the music, rather then the pristine version from a CD

     

    Things that really help sell loud music dubbed onto party scenes is the actors performance - they should be shouting slightly and pitching up their voices to fight with the loud background noise to be heard. If they are talking normally and you overlay loud music, it sounds fake because their performances don't respond to the music. It is something you have to remind actors to do when doing dialogue scenes. Sometimes I play loud music on set during rehersals so the actors can practise pitching their voices at the correct level.

     

    So with the right shouty performance and lots of bass notes booming below 200hz - your going to get something realistic enough

  6. I mixing audio for a party scene inside of a house but having some trouble making the atmosphere seem believable. I have party-goer noise, dialogue, feet, but im unsure how to balance the music? Which frequencies should I remove/enhance for the music/dialogue?

  7. Hello All!

     

    I am currently editing my first feature film in Premier Pro and I am wondering if I should be editing each scene as different sequences? All as one? Different projects?

     

    I am using Proxies from 4k to 1080p.

     

    Thanks,

    Tyrone
