Résumé

Use color to improve your storytelling, deliver critical emotional cues, and add impact to your videos.

Beginning with a clear, concise description of color and perception theory, this book shows you how to analyze color correction problems and solve them-whatever NLE or plugin you use. Experienced editors and colorists in their own right, the authors also include the wisdom of top colorists, directors of photography, and color scientists to deliver this insightful and authoritative presentation of the theory and practice of color correction.

Optimize the quality of your video with a working understanding of the essential color correction concepts and power-user tips. Learn how to use waveform monitors and vectorscopes as creative tools to analyze your images. Then get your hands dirty with step-by-step explanations of how to employ the entire desktop toolkit including hue offset wheels, color curves, histograms, and luma ranges. Tutorials provide an array of correction techniques and give you experience working through the diagnosis and correction of color problems with your own tools. Primary and secondary spot correction and day for night are only a few of the techniques you will practice while discovering how to improve the color, tonal range, and look of your footage so that even non-uniform, poor-quality video can be seamlessly incorporated into a beautiful, effective, finished piece.

The companion CD-ROM includes graphic files for the tutorial projects, software tools, plugins, and full-length interviews with renowned experts.
