Its amazing what a little toning down and desaturation can do here and there.
Absolutely and although Ady's color correction is Hands down or should I say Hands up Lovely and Amazing The film not only jumps about in terms of Brightness and contrast across the footage SE and Stock Footage transfer but also in terms of over Saturation of Red when it is not a SE shot.
So nothing bad to say about the process Ady has employed it's really working wonders only to say watch out for the Red saturation leaping up on Stock Transfer shots Lukes skin tones are the real give away on this.
There is also one last thing I noticed about this aspect and I'll be honest I am a little perplexed by it on this shot.
There is a glowing light in the top image on the gout. My immediate thought was Oh it's the sun. When I watched the shot it does appear to be the sun but as the camera pans across the light seems to vanish upwards whilst the camera does not seem to pan down. If you alter the brightness and contrast on the SE the glowing light re-appears so it's not been removed the brightness too high and contrast is too low in the SE here I guess.
But I am not sure if it's the Sun for real in the footage or an added effect of the sun by Sfx?
Anyway it's something that made me a little curious about what it actually is or is it just an error of some kind?
