Profile Settings for B&W Shootings????

[Rafael Amador]

Hi Michael,
I appreciate very much your feedback.
The clip is very “limited”.
I made the B&W once the footage was downscaled for the web.
I should never have put the firsts shots.
The vignette doesn’t works with the mist, making an strange circular halo.
Bur really, Michael, I don’t think is possible to get something similar in Color.
In Color, apart of desaturate and play with the contrast, I don’t see many possibilities.
You end up with something looking like B&W TV.

MB Looks uses the 3 color channels to produce an incredible range of shadows.
Combined with the 3W-CC and his “limiter” the possibilities are infinite.

About the circumstances of the shooting, I left the natural audio for the people to know I’m not any kind of paparazzi 🙂
I had all the kids, boyfriends and husband of the ladies beside me. They know me since 10 years ago.
And behind these nice pictures, a drama that seems interest nobody.
In a few years time my pictures may be the only remaining of these fabulous people.
Happy Lao New Year,
rafael

Rafael, I don’t mean why did you use color (the software application) but why didn’t you want the film to be in colour as opposed to B & W? It looked lovely anyway as wrote in my post.

Hi Michael,
Sorry I miss understood you.
In few places of the World you can find people as colorful as the people of the tribes of the North of Laos ( please have a look to this old clip: https://www.vimeo.com/693104).
Any serious filmmaker would pay to shoot in a mountain market over there.
I’m filming them since almost 10 years and I have stuff to make few documentaries.
I could be making incredibly colorful video-postcards for the tourism industry, but I would be ashamed of trading with the pictures of my friends without telling the real story that lies behind the pictures, and I’m not allowed to tell the real story.
I think that the B&W makes you focus more in what is going on while doesn’t breaks the bucolic mood of the river scenes (to say something).
Any way this have been just a test, and just for fun.
If I ever do something about the Akhas, I’ll try to do it better.
They deserve it.
Cheers,
rafael
