If you’ve ever wondered what goes on in a movie’s post-processing production, the following video will offer you a glimpse of the before-and-after process.
Using footage from independent feature film The House on Pine Street, post-production video color suite Grade shared how color grading is carried out on the film after it’s shot.
Colorist Taylre Jones said, “The image is shot in a LOG format on an F55. In simple terms, this captures the image to maintain details. As stated, this allows me to be able to stretch the image in more creative directions.
“You might compare it to winding a flexible 100ft extension cord up into a small circle. If the film only calls for needing 65ft to tell the story I have the ability to manipulate the cord and pull it out to 65ft. When cameras don’t shoot in their LOG or flat modes it is sort of like taking the flexibility out of the cord. It’s pretty much stuck at being 100ft long.”
He also offered on Reddit that multiple adjustments were crunched into each sweep in the following video—in reality, each shot was adjusted about 10-15 times.
