Thomas Jackson’s Post

The years pass so quickly and these memories are worth making. See what magic we're dreaming up in the studio. https://lnkd.in/gFKzpiSu

This is how footage ACTUALLY comes out of camera. Well kind of. This is a “LOG” format which makes the image flat. Us as filmmakers (or even colorists) go back in and add colors to best fit the image. You might ask why do you want to go back and add colors when it’s already there? Well 1. Because it’s cool And 2. It helps you achieve certain colors and change colors.

What I love most about production is telling our clients story from A to Z. How cool is this campaign combining studio photography with our campaign photo on location?

Exciting news for my fellow filmmakers and video creators! I've just released a comprehensive video that dives deep into the world of color grading using Rec. 709 LUTs. Whether you're a seasoned director of photography or just starting out, understanding how to properly use LUTs can dramatically enhance your footage and elevate your storytelling. I believe that the right knowledge can transform good footage into great films, and I'm excited to share these insights with you. Check out the video, and don't hesitate to reach out with questions or share your own experiences with LUTs in the comments below. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries of what our footage can look like! #filmmaking #videoproduction #colorgrading #cinematography #videocreation

Ross - Raw and unfiltered! We understand that the idea of your first shoot may seem intimidating, but there's no need to worry. We don't expect you to be perfect right out of the gate. Take Ross, for example. Even though he's on camera all the time, he still has his moments! Watch until the end to see the final polished result of this seemingly unimportant footage! #videoproduction #behindthescenes #videomarketing

My go-to lighting style is Definitely Rembrandt simply because of the look it gives. I usually won't let it be as dramatic as it is in the video, and toss some fill light on the opposite cheek. If I ever do split lighting, I use a very large dome to achieve a much softer light. The smaller your dome, the more dramatic your shadows will be. I'll probably use Paramount lighting the least for my projects. Sometimes I'll use it when filming in a narrower room! Which lighting style is your go to?

Just spent 3 hours perfecting the color grade... only to realize my cat walked across the keyboard and reset everything. But hey, who needs consistency in footage, right? Maybe the client will appreciate the "organic" look? 😂 Now, I'm debating... Should I "accidentally" leave the cat in the final cut or just embrace the chaos? What's the weirdest thing that's ever happened to you during an edit? 🧐 Let me know in the comments! RTIST STUDIO #carvideoediting #Dubaivideography #dubaicaredit #videoedit

Using LED wall virtual production can help with lighting. This is because the walls provide a blend of both traditional and digital lighting. Consequently, filmmakers have more control over the look and feel of their scenes. This can be done by adjusting the colors, brightness, contrast and shadows that come from a digital source.  Additionally, filmmakers can easily create different lighting scenarios faster than with traditional methods or natural light sources. This helps to save time and make sure that each scene looks exactly how it was intended to be seen.

Absolutely amazing mixed-mode animation! It's increasingly rare these days to see studios that work in traditional animation formats such as stop-motion, and personally I think the places that do it best are doing it hand-in-hand with modern 3D CG animation techniques as showcased in this reel

Color Isolation for b-roll footage. In post-production you can choose several options to specify main color. 1) "Leave Color” with slight adjustments on "Amount to decoder". 2) Use "Color Key” + "Hue / Saturation" (depending on complexity of the colour and shadows).
