The RED Outdoors

Art Adams | 11/14- 01:44 PM

This spot would have been hell if I hadn’t used the RED

This spot was part of a web campaign for California’s No on Prop 8 campaign. In my previous article I wrote about another No on Prop 8 that we shot in four hours on a Sunday afternoon. This is what we shot in the morning. It’s all one take, which is pretty rare for a spot.

Recently Added: Columns on Enhancing Footage

Chris Meyer | 10/04- 07:10 PM

A pair of classic columns on enhancing and colorizing sub-standard footage.

We were recently asked by a reader to re-post a column we wrote for DV Magazine over nine years ago on enhancing subpar client and archive footage. It’s an ageless topic, as even in this day of cheap high-definition cameras, we all still have projects where we have to use less-than-ideal sources. As we were posting that column (Spinning Gold), we realized it referenced a second column on simple color treatments. So we’ve re-posted both of them online here at PVC:

• Spinning Gold
• Getting Behind the Color Wheel

We hope you find them useful. Feel free to share your own techniques and recipes in the Comments section. If there’s enough interest, we’ll update these with some additional techniques.

How to interpret ‘crew wanted’ ads

Craigslist is a marvelous institution. There are editions for some 500 different cities, but you can still consider yourself lucky if you live near one. Among (lots of) other things, Craigslist has ads for temporary or permanent film/tv jobs. Some of those listings have more to do with a newbie director’s fantasies than anything real - no budget, no plans, no technique - but you learn to ignore them.
