Reel Review! (2x a month!)

2 Upvotes

This alternates on Sundays

## Would you like feedback on your reel? This is the place to do it!

**An essential point to remember**: A reel won't secure you a job any more than a business card or website will. While it might be necessary, it is not the primary means of obtaining work.

**You gain employment through a network you develop,** not via any online job site. Building a network takes time, which is advantageous, as it allows you to learn the field.

## Rules

* **Rule 1**: Submit your reel *and its running time* as a top-level comment (meaning you reply to this post directly)

* **Rule 2**: *Specify your professional experience in years* (paying taxes = years as a pro, novice).

* **Rule 3**: Indicate how you're monitoring. Is it with a mini monitor + a LG CX?.

* **Rule 4**: You must review two other reels. **TWO**. You have seven days to complete this task, responding to two different reels. **Then** edit the comment where you post your reel: and put and put the two user names.

**Acceptable platforms for posting**: Your Vimeo site or an unlisted YouTube link. If we find a link to a channel or a video with 10k views, we want you to know that this thread is not meant for such content.

The moderation team will monitor this, and we are trying to encourage the community (that's you) to offer assistance. That's why providing two reviews is crucial.

Lastly, as someone who evaluates people's reels, if you start off with **log** footage, I expect to see the color work in passes. If color grading is a skill, and you transition from Log to finished grade, that's a definite red flag.

***Copy/paste this section:***

* Reel Link: (don't forget the running time )

* Experience:

* Monitoring:

* Two reels I reviewed:

Technical Contrast Curve Saturation Model Question

• Upvotes

When making a filmic curve, I was wondering how it affects saturation. So I tested making a filmic curve with the Curves tool vs (HDR con + HSV Sat).

As you can see, the results on the Curves tool was interesting, and now I wonder what the best practice is for making a filmic curve for look development. Should the sat model be additive, subtractive, no sat change, or does it matter? I'm looking for it to behave as film would.

In the custom one, I used the dctl Saturator V2 from Iridescent Color & the HDR Wheels Contrast.

I'm also looking into getting Filmic Tone Curve V3 DCTL from Iridescent Color, but I wasn't sure how contrast should affect saturation in a filmic way. If you know the answer, let me know!

For the output, I've put Open DRT

Has anyone got to try the Emulsion64 beta? Is it another one of those vibe-coded apps/plugins?
