Oh Dave. Well, thank you.
For this particular project I decided on using available light. We agreed on the look.
I got the shots that I needed, then we started to lose the light and I kept going cause I wanted
to get a better performance out of the artist. Her last take was by far the best. I have an earlier take that has flawless lighting and no noise, but I’m sorry I’m the kind of a director that will alway pick performance over technical issues. Even for a music video. My previous project was shot on 35mm and so is my next one. This was a small side low budget project and although I agree I should have shot on 30, renting a camera was not in the budget so I just shot it with my 5d Mark ii. Mark ii can only 24 or 30.
I’m an amateur when it comes to AE, but I’m a pro director and bruise easy, sorry for the long novella.
That said, which plug in in AE removes noise?? When i type in noise under AE I only get plugins that add noise. My noise is the typical noise that mark ii’s 6400 iso is famous for. It is not underexposed, just a few red dots here and there. Timewrap looks good enough, just very slow.
