Thank you for that video, Cam. I’m already done color grading half the movie and agree with almost everything the YouTuber said. But I think he went a little too bright in the midtones.

Like I said, not exactly as he did it. But I’m glad to hear you’re deep into HBP! 😄

I’ll give the new Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets a watch later on. 😃

Continuity Issue - Potential fix

https://streamable.com/rur6by

So I’ve worked my ass off for a couple of days to nail a continuity issue of CoS Tom Riddle and HbP Tom Riddle. They are played by two very different actors, with very different face structures. Therefore - you can’t just simply replace their face fully, although I liked the result (it actually looked really creepy).

However, balancing their main features together did wonders - and after the inital 20 different deepfake renderings with way too much masking work in Premiere Pro thereafter, I’m pleased with what I have. It is NOT finished, but it is - as I look at it now without rest - okay to good in all places. If it works over all however, I leave up to you guys.

Other:

Besides this I’m about 40% finished with the color grading of HbP. The film is so desaturated and dark that it is a nightmare to reinvent it with a color palette that is both flattering as well as wonderous. You can see some of the color grading in the clip above. You’ve all probably forgot how it initially looks in the film, but to put it like this: Dumbledore’s office scenes originally look like they were filmed through 5 inches of brown mud. It doesn’t any longer.

COLOR GRADE SHOWCASE:

Color Grading this film isn’t as easy as it looks. Every time you increase brightness another area needs darkening. Every time you saturate a color ten different ones need desaturation. Every time you change a tone of a scene or a closeup you have to mask and change the skin tones. In other words; it is a nightmare to color grade this film, but it’s getting there and it’s getting near satisfying to look at. Hopefully it is likewise for you.

FILM TONE:

This will be the only Harry Potter film where I focus on adding a horror nod to the genre. The film explores murder, death and splitting the soul - it is also fitting for a 15+ year old audience. Therefore I have a couple of… horror shots in this film.

Absolutely love the new colour grade, bro! The cinematography is finally allowed to shine, not to mention the retouched colours look a tad more enriching than the original HBP Revisited. And you’re getting there with the deepfake on young Tom Riddle. Just a few more tries to go. 😉

I’m excited to see how you handle the new horror-esque tone you’re going for with this instalment. Should be exciting! 😄

Love the new grade! Especially the shot of the gate. That one was amazing. Can’t wait for this edit and its horror tone. Voldemort caught me off guard.

Thank you all for the kind words and feedback. I’ll take a mental rest before I continue tweaking the new deepfake to a finale state, and will continue with the audio mixing and color grading for now.

You’re killing off Fang? Wicked! I’ve just realised he pretty much disappears after HBP. Loving this change! 😄

And where are you getting these epic remixes? 😃

Cheers, lads!

The Statues theme is a «Epic Version» from YouTube that i slowed down and added reverb and a darker pitch to.
