music video look

[Walter Soyka]

[chris artis] “im trying to achieve the music video look of todays videos, they kinda look low budget but i like the look, ive watched color correction videos but im still having a hard time, i would post a video link but i dont know how to thanks in advance”

You’re really going to have to give us a bit more than that to get any meaningful help.

A YouTube link showing a look you like would go a long way, especially with another link of some of your actual footage and a description of what you’ve tried to do so far.

You can simply paste a YouTube link in your post, and you can upload your own videos to the COW’s servers by clicking the movie camera icon above the text box where you write a post or reply (it’s the second in from the right), then copying and pasting the link into your post.

Walters right. There are so many different looks / styles / concepts used in music videos that you need to pick ones you like and use them as inspiration. Thats what I did with this music video seen below.

Thanks Chris.

There are several rooftop scenes but I think the one you are referring to look like they stripped all the chroma (color) out then applied a greenish tint.
