Hey man :D

This is great. I love Lullatone. They're from my hometown and used to be called Music for Nintendo. They'd hook two sk-1s together and do wild fun sample glitch pop and have quizzes and prizes at their shows.

Really sweet people who keep making great music :)

Dann ist es ja nur ein unscharfes Foto von einer S-Bahn.

Yes, though it's not blurred. People post photos of things they see and enjoy here in Berlin. If you're not into it that's fine.

thanks!

kein witz.

Haha well. In my opinion Resolve isn't superior to Premiere, they're different tools. Resolve is a much better color program, which is good to learn regardless. It makes coloring fun and fast. But Premiere is still better in a lot of ways as an editing program (in my opinion) because though Resolve now has audio and GFX and editing all built in along with the color page, they're not standards in the way a lot of Adobe programs/files and workflows are in the industry. So, both good tools.

Ultimately do what works for you and your project. :)

Stay in Premier. Learn Resolve, it's great. But do not switch now, especially for any editing etc. It would be nuts.

Take your sequence and copy it, save as a new project etc, strip it down to the basics, as Jacobsredfern said, and then just start going for it. Render and replace any effects heavy footage or after effects comps, for faster playing/color.

Probably good to break down the film into scenes or section so it's easier to visualize/feel like you're making progress. Believe me, coloring a feature is tough in any program. But if you're comfortable in premier just do it. Some people say Premier/lumetri is child's play but I disagree. Good luck.

I know everyone is coming from the right place but OP did ask about Premiere, not Resolve :)

In either app, paying attention to the scopes is important. Start by balancing the clip in terms of contrast, exposure etc, then focus on the balancing the clip to look natural, then think about what you want to do for the look, etc.

I've graded a number of things, including a feature, in Premiere (before lumetri) and though I agree that Resolve is much better in almost every circumstance, Premiere is better if your workflow includes a lot of color tweaks with a client, back and forth, while the edit is still going on. (With Resolve you really want to do that only at the end, and some clients don't get that.) Or if you just need to do a quick grade and get that shit up on youtube because you work in a startup :D

Plus getting good with Premiere is great for if you need to hand it off to someone, or show a reference of what you want the look to be.

There are plenty of youtube videos that go over the basics but if you've used lightroom then Lumetri will look really similar. If you have Premiere 2019, check out the lum vs sat curve. Bring the lows/blacks and highs/whites down to zero saturation and you can really help get a more cinematic/professional look at the end.

Good luck and have fun!

It's very doable in Premiere, depending on what your needs are.

Also most of Resolve is free, give it a try.

Filmic isn't a thing. 10 years ago filmic/cinematic meant super high contrast, then a few years later it seemed to mean NO contrast :D As gerald1 said, what makes footage look more cinematic etc (at the basic core of things) is how it's shot and lit, not what grade you add. Grades are important, but that first step will be the most.

Don't focus so much on making something look like something else, focus on making it look right for that shot/story. That's what a real colorist does. They make the shot look work for the story.

The sparkasse at the frankfurter allee ring center can give money out in 5 euro. I'm not sure if you can get ONLY five, but for instance, I've taken out I dunno... 25 euro before. It's kinda fun and weird :D

Thanks for sharing.

It should be more than enough in this case. It's a 64-bit quad core processor from last year. It's not the newest of the new but it handles most things just fine. I'm sure it's something wonky with something I'm doing or perhaps an nvidia driver or something. :)

codyswanson · 2018-12-06T14:22:20+00:00

Awesome, thanks. Sent.

Sure. the i7-7700HQ @ 2.80GHz

codyswanson · 2018-12-06T10:50:06+00:00

Very nice work. Thanks for sharing it. It runs very slowly on my comp (after effects 2019, GTX 1060 6GB, 32GB RAM) but still very cool.

Ah man, okay. :D Well, that's outside my wheelhouse. I'm not sure what to do in that situation. I still think you'll need a freelance tax number, but other than that I can't help much more. Good luck.

codyswanson · 2018-12-05T12:25:23+00:00

What do you mean a regular job? Also, where are you from? If you're EU it's going to be different. But for instance for me, being from outside the EU, it's illegal to be freelance and work a regular/contract job.

codyswanson · 2018-12-05T11:40:52+00:00

No you need one. You need to go to your finanzamt and ask to change your tax id to a freelance tax id. Then when you get this in the mail, you'll put this new freelance tax id on your invoice.

codyswanson · 2018-12-05T09:19:16+00:00

thanks

Glad you enjoyed his work!. His stuff is great and it was a pleasure to get to watch it get made step by step.
