I went and looked at my original post and I saw that I probably wasn’t clear enough. I am editing video that someone else shot. I can only control at this point what I am doing in post production. So your camera tips and what not are appreciated, but I was not asking in generalities about this. I specifically need info on post production.

Also, I wasn’t clear on what I mean by “video” look. I specifically mean that look that is just too clean, sharp, and fake looking. It absolutely has no texture, and by texture, I am not refering to lighting. It is that look that is just too, too smooth. I was at Best Buy one day and they were playing U571 on Bluray on this large HDTV and it had the same fake look that I am talking about.

On anything I have shot, I can always knock it out with some color correction. But this was just not going to work here.

I did render it at 24 and that seems to have done the trick.

Anywho, many thanks for all that have responded. Sorry I wasn’t clear on what I was looking for. Again, I’m a newb here.

Thanks!

I was only looking for post production suggestions. I will check out the color correcter and magic bullet.

Thanks!
