Colour Grade and VFX for Fashion Brand Short

North Devon photographer & film-maker, Christopher Lane, has asked us again to work on the colour grading for a 4K (Ultra High Definition) edit.

The video is a promotional piece for use on his show reel and takes the form of a fictitious skin-care brand advert. The piece was filmed on Red then edited on Avid by a film editor and then passed to Mark at Maniac Films for colour grading. We took an EDL from the Avid system and re-created the edit to sync up the model (Emma G) and the liquid falling to allow us to grade the separate elements correctly.

As well as the grade which was carried out by mark, Stu also had to carry out some Rotoscoping work on two clips. In these clips the model is looking at the camera while sat in a bath, suggesting nudity. However, the model's bra was showing against the side of her body and Stu had to remove the offending item frame by frame.

The final video can be seen on the link above or on Vimeo

If you need Visual Effects (VFX), colour grading or just some shot clean-ups and rotoscoping work then get in touch with Maniac Films to discuss your film project requirements. We work with film transfer re-grades and film clean-ups (dust and dirt removal, upscaling, colour stabilisation) for DCP and Blu-ray distribution.
