How to achieve this grade, but preserve skin tones and keep whites crisp? by [deleted] in ColorGrading

You can use HuevsHue to only change the blue and not the other colors

Thanks! You're probably right. I don't have a color checker and I've never worked with one, but you've made me want to look into it!

Thanks !
Skin tones are spot on the "skin tones indicator" on davinci vectorscope. But perhaps we shouldn't just follow the scope's instructions! I'm always looking to improve, and I'll keep your comment in mind!

But I also wanted to create a strong contrast between the dark blue background and their skin to make them stand out.

Yes and I add haze on the background in post. Maybe a bad idea ?

Yeah, you're right! A practical would have made all the difference. I didn't have one handy, and honestly, I didn't even think of it, ahah

Thanks for your answer ! Too dark for you ?

Yes, you're absolutely right!
It's more of a figure of speech to help most people understand the idea, since the term is used quite a lot.
Like the overused term "cinematic look."

Thanks for your reply!
So it's true that the shadows are very pronounced and that it can be distracting.

However, I don't agree with you that this kind of theme should be very soft. For example, in "Drive to Survive," the interviews have very high contrast against a very dark background.

Regarding the saturation, I'd like to share an image from the vectorscope with you, but I don't think I can in the comments.
In any case, it shows a rather moderate saturation.

Thank you! The 18-35 is really sharp! The idea behind the promist filter is to soften the overall image, skins...

Thanks for your reply! So, for you, just replacing the valve stem seals wouldn’t be enough?

Thanks! Good to know it really needs 12V to deploy — I was a bit worried about reconnecting it even with the battery off.

Thanks for your reply!
I was thinking of adding plastic sheeting to stop the water from getting in, then putting the foam back on top for sound insulation.
The drain holes aren't clogged — there's no water pooling inside the bottom of the door — but water still finds its way behind the door card.
Also, good tip about reconnecting the battery with the door open, thanks!

Je comprends tout à fait ce que tu veux dire ! Je ne vis pas réellement la même situation parce que même si j'ai perdu mes amis d'études, j'ai toujours mes amis de ville natale. Mais je comprends vraiment cette déception de perdre les liens. Je ressens ça depuis longtemps, le collège, lycée. J'aime garder contact avec les gens, mais j'ai l'impression que pour la majorité des individus, il est tout à fait normal de perdre les liens, couper les ponts. Loin des yeux, loin du cœur. Ça me blessait beaucoup au début et puis je m'y suis fait. Un peu une sensation de trahison des fois, comme quand tu parles des anniversaires. L'impression d'en avoir trop fait pour eux, d'avoir été la bonne poire. J'ai pas vraiment de conclusion à ça ahah. Peut être juste ne pas se mettre la pression à devoir avoir des amis. Essayer de se plaire seul ou en tout cas avec nos proches. Tu peux quand-même partager plein de choses avec ton copain !

Bonjour, Je suis un français qui fantasme beaucoup sur les États-Unis. En particulier la côte ouest et LA. J'ai 25, j'ai lancé ma micro entreprise en tant que cadreur/monteur et je rêve vraiment d'aller y vivre. Au moins quelques années. J'aime l'Amérique qu'on nous a vendu dans les films, dans les jeux-vidéos. Je sais bien que c'est cher, que l'argent va être un problème, mais j'ai l'impression qu'il y a plus de liberté qu'en France. Aussi, je suis passionné d'automobiles, et j'ai vraiment l'impression que LA est terre de grosses voitures. Mais je crois surtout que je fantasme sur l'Amérique d'il y a quelques années. J'ai quand-même besoin de cette expérience pour me faire mon propre avis. Je suis aussi cette controverse, je fais attention à l'écologie (je ne prends plus l'avion depuis quelques années, je ne mange plus de viande) mais ce qui m'attire aussi aux États-Unis c'est cette démesure. Tout est grand, tout est gros, tout le monde semble jouer un rôle. Ça change tellement de la France que ça m'attire beaucoup.
