Doing one last hurrah on the film grain, and if this doesn’t work, I’ll just stop fidgeting around with it altogether. On my version of Resolve, there is an offset setting that, when adjusted to the lowest settings, makes the grain visible only in the bright (or white) levels of the image and almost completely invisible in the dark (or black) levels of the image. This adds more realism to the grain, as it’s never really noticed in the darkest parts of the image. I’ve decided to demonstrate how it looks by testing out two scenes. The first test is the same one as the last three: The decoy assassination scene. However, because this scene is mostly bright, I decided to throw in a more dimly-lit scene as well to show just how close to grain-free the darker scenes are. Hence test 2 is the scene where Anakin and Obi-Wan are acting as bodyguards while Padme sleeps. As usual, I recommend watching both tests in 1080p for best results:
