RG204 Skin Tone and Digital Make Up | 1 day
This is a hands on creative workshop that concentrates on grading skin tones. We will look at why skin is difficult to color and why we always question our ability to get skin ‘just right.
“This is a hands on creative workshop that concentrates on grading skin tones. We will look at why skin is difficult to color and why we always question our ability to get skin ‘just right.’
Matching will be an important part of this RG204 class as a badly matched skin tone is one of the first things a client will notice.
This is an example of the type of footage used in each lesson, that you can keep for your own practice.
1. Mixed skin and beauty type commercial footage.Great for doing very soft/mist type looks and blemish removal using
the Resolve OFX.
2. A branded content spot that was shot on a RED and a SONY A7S. The star of the film is also the CEO and the client, making things a little more tricky.
3. A Courtroom scene shot on multiple cameras with different ISO and Color temp settings.
4. Matching an interview sequence shot on a RED, BMD Pocket, Sony
iPhone 11. This is not an easy grade.
I will also address how to deal with the different challenges presented by each sequence. Students then get the chance to do the same. Each sequence can also be finished after class then uploaded to Frame io for review by myself.
Reviewing, class discussion and feedback is a major part of this class. It will simulate what a real grading project with clients is like.
Students are also encouraged to bring their own footage to work on and share with the class.”
