    UPDATE: Links supporting the purchase of SCONE LOOKS has been fixed. Both our DCFCPUG member, Drew and I brought up this issue to the author and now it is resolved.  I am happy to report that Bob is donating a copy of Scone Looks to DCFCPUG for our Winner’s Circle raffle.  Stay tuned for when that is announced as that will be a highly sought after prize!  The Looks are worth the price of admission.. Buy a copy and put it to work in your workflow…

    The Scone Looks™ are presets and effects users can apply to their clips for Color 1.5
    483 preset looks total.
    135 Primary looks which can be used in the Primary In or Out rooms.
    195 Secondary Room Looks including 23 preset glows, skin softening, blue sky enhancement looks, ect.
    92 CFX Looks including 2 and 3 defocus vignettes. All the CFX looks are also de-interlaced.
    61 finished Grades that include a number of combination of grading techniques and effects.
    12 Podcasts for beginning and advanced color correction techniques. As well as how to use and adjust the looks.
    They will be available soon.

    I’m just trying to make color correction easier for users of Color 1.5

  • Primary and Secondary Color Correction tutorials

    Here are two exceptional tutorials on primary and secondary color correction, courtesy of Director/Writer Eric Escobar and his PrepShootPost blog.  While both tutorials happen to demonstrate Red Giant’s Magic Bullet Colorista plug-in for FCP, don’t worry if (like me) you’ve never used Colorista.  The concepts translate seamlessly to FCP’s Color Corrector 3-way filter, and probably a slew of other CC tools or applications.  (That said, you may find yourself pining for a couple of Colorista’s added features, which are highlighted in the tutorials).

    The Primary CC tutorial can be found here, and the Secondary CC tutorial here.  And take some time to peruse Eric’s web site, especially if you have any interest (as we all should, right?) in the “Prep” and “Shoot” – rather than merely the “Post” – aspects of filmmaking.

    Here is the second Zoom In Online tutorial on roundtripping to Color. Once you’ve prepared the sequence in Final Cut Pro (see the first tutorial), this video will give you the basics on how to “Send” the sequence to Color, render your work, and send the graded clips back to FCP.

    Thanks to Alexis Van Hurkman for his guidance, and to Nam Choi for the submission.
