Footage and playing with colour

I've decided to use the box kick as the footage for me piece, so I've been playing around with some colour correction options as well as getting a slow motion effect.

I had originally intended to use Twixtor for creating slo-mo footage, due to licencing concerns and the fact that a demonstration version of Twixtor is only available with a watermark it has become apparent this wont be possible. This threw me at first as I had planned to implement a super slo-mo style in my shot.

I then realised that a frame blend technique can produce nice results, but that the effect tends to look more "ghosted". This was fine but I needed to change the overall feel of my shot to something more stylised as realistic colours looked slightly odd alongside the effect.

I started off by using the leave colour effect and picking out a shade of green.



This effect looks nice in the context of the shot, but when coupled with my particle effects looked fairly odd.

The next effect I tried was again with leave colour, only this time I concentrated on reds and skin tones, playing with the tolerance options to just pick out the player.



I like this effect and I think it fits in with my advertising target market quite well (particularly the guiness side of things.
