shooters, what sort of post-production work do you do with your photographs & video?
 

if you could, please describe your post-editing style for both. no need to reveal *secrets* unless you want to, just a wham bam overview would be cool.

maybe also how you learned post-production and anything else you feel would be related. ty :thumbsup

color balance, edit out the crap

cool, cool.....:thumbsup thx....

couple questions
how do you set the parameters for the color balance? do you eyeball it? does "edit out the crap" mean cropping? or ?

:thumbsup:thumbsup

does "edit out the crap" mean cropping? or ?
- crop and delete

color balance
- expereince

Email is in my sig dyna mo. Hit me up, I'll point you to a few things that will start you in the right direction.

Other than rotate pics to their proper orientation or editing a video to a finished movie in the cases where clients call for that, I generally don't do any post-production work. I'm in a quality-driven but also a volume business and I sell or license tens of thousands of images per month and tens of hours of videos per month. So I insist all the pics and video come out of the camera correctly, essentially edited as they are shot.

Agreed:thumbsup


And Shoot Raw. Raw gives you a bigger file to work with and it kinda give you a 2nd crack at it if you kinda messed up.


I use Lightroom color correcting, batching, and processing all of my stills. I have CS5 and use it here and there, but that can also be used.:thumbsup

Edit rushes.

Grade shot by shot levels and color.

Add Titles and any visual effects

Record extra sound effects and lay effects from library

Track lay sound

Send rough cut to musician for music track

lay on music track

Mix sound

Make Blu ray and check film projected.

Make corrections

Export to required formats.

yeah, I use ACR and shoot just jpg fine... but it's basically the same work flow

That's the most efficient way, especially if you hate post production work like we do.

I am still learning myself

:thumbsup:thumbsup thx peeps!

Dave, your still work on jaysin's productions is outstanding.

your video work is equally well-done & i would love to hear more on how your video workflow is. :)

Call me anytime. I always got answers for you.:thumbsup

None , if you need to retouch your not a good shooter and should work at kmart,.,,

yes I agree... my content biz failed due to my shitty work so I do work at kamart. shot this yesterday:

Stills = Raw then Lightroom
Vid = Shoot to edit


Hopefully both well enough to avoid post work.
