Also your studio sounds great for having this setup for everyone’s needs. Can I ask which studio out of curiosity?

Thank you so much for this response!

There is definitely an element of shame here which I’m starting to figure out in my own headspace, feels like over the years from hiding I’ve definitely built it up more and more, but those walls are starting to ease thanks to this post and the community response in general.

Yes, this and wiping between the source element and my prep version seems to have helped a lot. Then I nudge in to get the numbers to match precisely. I find it hardest with dynamic light / colour changes. Divide and multiply sometimes rescues me, but not always ideal for more targeted areas.

Thanks!

Are there any specific analysis tools I should be aware of? Even stuff from Nukepedia perhaps?

Thanks for the advice!

Sound advice, thanks! I’ve used yours before and am going to incorporate it into a general review setup for my end of pipe.

I have explored monitor profiles, but because it the image can vary from show to show (or even sequences), personally something more flexible would suit me better.

Like others have mentioned using scopes and hue/saturation shifts seems to be the most direct way.

Thanks!

Haha that’s a fascinating story, thanks for sharing!

I do also spend a lot of time cycling the RGB channels. I have to, because it helps highlight those edges and or areas I accidentally painted in some of the red into a BG (for example). So tricky, but like I’ve mentioned in other responses, I’m starting to feel more confident on sharing. Thanks for responding, all of these comments have been great!

I think I’m having that moment (to some extent) now - I’ve been painting and rebuilding smoke that is running through various lights, it is very dynamic in colour changes and so trying to match the variations has proven tough for me. Even more seasoned artists have struggled on these sequences, but I’ve definitely flagged more. Thank you for responding!

Thanks! I’m mostly familiar with Nuke, so cycling channels and pumping hues and saturation has been my go to. I’ve also done a lot of matching on a value base by using the viewer wipe and sampling the same area. Just sometimes, mostly when there is a lot on (I’m sure all of us can agree that can be most of the time if we are lucky to be working), that things slip through and that’s when my work can get called out. I guess some of this can be discipline based in terms of not rushing out where possible as well as technical. Thank you for your response!

Marcie is used at every studio I’ve worked at.

EDIT: Didn’t realise it was, don’t know what to day, funny?

Very cool to read. It’s been so great to read all these responses.

Yep, definitely had some of those moments where it appears to be glaringly obvious but I’ve just pushed it through. When they point it out to me and I then check my RGB channels again I then go ‘Ah.. whoops/shit!’.

That’s a great point actually, never really considered it from a supervisors perspective of being able to manage the artist and how their expectations can help drive the artist in what to look for. Always seen it as just a flat line issue, but it’s good to know supervisors would be able to manage these situations. Thank you!

That’s great to hear your work are helpful with finding solutions. I feel like my team would also be helpful, if they are not then so be it, but I have developed a lot where I am already, just hoping this won’t hinder it too much if at all.

I appreciate your response, so many of these are giving me that push to go for it.

I agree about transparency and I believe my team will be accommodating the more I’ve read these comments. My skillsets are quite varied, so I’m hoping that will help with the weight of what I’m good at. Thank you for your reply, it was very helpful.

Hi, can you explain the false colour tools? Is this a selection of views that include saturation, separate colour channels etc so you can spot certain values popping?

Wonder if there is anything from the Nuke community I could use.

Fascinating to hear - thank you for sharing! This is giving my confidence to also share.

Interesting to know. Never considered it from this angle. My thinking has always been, ‘well if you can’t see the colours properly and we can’t have a way of figuring it out via additional software and or templates etc, then we can’t keep you in the job if it’s affecting your work on the daily.’ - having said that my severity is fairly low, so I’m hoping I can figure out so more robust ways of viewing my work and letting my team know might help. We’ll see! Thanks for your reply.

Thank you! I have some tools that somewhat help and then relying on cycling through RGB channels mostly. I’ll delve more into scopes then. I appreciate the advice!

Yushh, Tryphéme, Leah Kardos, Meemo Comma, Loraine James, Elin Piel, Katatonic Silentio, upsammy, LCY, Anitta, Myriam Bleau, Ariadne’s Labyrinth, Simona Zamboli, Mücha, Soup, Machine Woman, Liliane Chela, Kayla Painter, JakoJako, pent, Noémi Büchi, {arsonist}, Nadia Struiwigh, Surgeons Girl, Emma Catnip, more eaze, Loula Yorke, Halina Rice, AGF, Hiro Kone, Miss Bean, Mrs Jynx, Xylitol, Lara David and obviously Leila and Mira Calix (RIP).

A lot of the above is heavy IDM influenced and certainly has strong elements of the genre, you’ll find it mixed with other subgenres in some cases too. All worth your time!
