I liked that the background color indoors and outdoors was nearly the same and thought that very clever. Being a musician, it was obvious the keyboard player close up was not playing what was on the sound track, but remember few people will know the difference, but it was a minor disconnect for me. I look forward to seeing the finished peice and thin it wonderful the band is so young

AAV ColorLab, just like its predecessor Avv6cc, can increase or change a specific color without changing the rest of the colors. It does it in a better way that the Secondary Color Corrector does, and Magic Bullet doesn’t have such function at all. I just wish AAV ColorLab was less buggy.

Very nice.

When do you use AAV ColorLab compared to when you use Magic Bullet? (Put another way, if you have Magic Bullet, what is AAV ColorLab used for?).

Thanks!

Yes, I was thinking about that, I don’t particularly like it either. It might be one of the first things that will go at the final.

Somehow the zoom in at around 18-20 seconds mark seems awkward to me…

Please consider this positive feedback!

Yes, but this is mostly true for movies, where shots usually last more than 8 seconds. On music videos you change the shot every 1-4 seconds, so the need is much lesser. There’s enough change in the scenery to not add the confusion of additional movement too.

Besides, the cut-scenes (not shown on the preview above) were shot with a shoulder rest instead of a tripod, so there’s some free movement on the camera there.

I like it.. “although” I think I once read in one of your posts (I’m not sure if it was one of yours but I think it may have been) that in modern video/cinema the camera is in constant movement, (as if hand held) and never static. In this example, I see you have opted to keep the camera fixed for most of the time… What do you thing about this?
