Premium Member Olle Knutson Posted July 9, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hey guys, I recently shot a scene outside in pretty low light conditions and decided to push the film one stop. The film came back and looks extremely different from the rest of the footage. Usually I have very little trouble with correcting 16mm but now this just looks terrible. It feels like the negative is missing color. Sooo Ive been wathcing youtube tutorials on how to white balance for two days now and trying different methods but really havnt gotten any good results. What am I missing? Does pushing film really ruin the film this much? If anyone wants to take a look at it here are the files: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hsmcdb1x6f35psq/AACm52Jn8d1bjHbGvFh1yqNga?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted July 9, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted July 9, 2020 I can't tell anything from the frame, you do have a shot pushed and a shot normal for comparison? Was the transfer delivered to you as a log file? Pushing 1-stop tends to increase contrast and grain, there isn't a saturation loss usually but I guess it depends on how much the footage was underexposed.

Bob Speziale Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 The grade looks OK to me. The noise is likely from the low light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
