  “Pleasantville Effect” question

  Posted by Rosario Nitopi on December 13, 2007 at 11:42 pm

  Hi,

  I was playing around with using the pleasantville effect in a music video I am doing (ie. lipstick, eyes or clothing are color and everything else is black and white). I am familiar with doing this using the color corrector/limit effect in FCP but I was wondering if there are any tricks to limit/mask the effect to only one part of the screen or subject.

  Basically when I select the color of the girls lips or eyes fcp also selects tones in their hair or their cheeks. Other than filming more carefully and paying attention to isolate/contrast colors while shooting I was wondering if anyone had a trick to do this in post. Thanks for any help (I’m using final cut studio 2).

  Cheers

  Use a Garbage Matte to isolate the are where you want to work.
