PIXEL BROTHERS COLOR CORRECTIONWhy Color Correction?
Before AfterMake Digital Video look like film.
People tend to prefer the look of film. There are many factors that influence this taste and perceived production value is the main one, since we tend to associate film with higher budgets and video with lower standards.
PIXEL BROTHERS COLOR CORRECTIONWhy Color Correction?
Adds polish to the final product.
Color correction is a very important part of commercial and feature film post-production. We give each scene an overall color tonality that not only makes the image more visually attractive but also creates the intended mood.
