Look Inspiration – Metallic Monochrome

Very bold look, Dan — good job. Much food for thought here.

Very interesting look and strategies to create it. Thanks for sharing! Its like the B&W Mad Max Fury Road version well hopefully see someday

thanks! good sky replacement is still a tough job in davinci resolve. it helps to animate
the sky slightly if you only have a still (pan and tilt a view pixels), and to avoid those glowing
borders i prefer to take the original horizon and blend my sky replacement on top of it… makes
it look more real sometimes.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of High Quality Sky Stock Footage?

Thanks so much for doing these look Tutorials Dan, it really makes the membership worth while.

I’d love to see that too!

Thank you sir! I felt like this is a look that has been taken to 11. Hyper sharpened, mega contrast and pretty much surreal feeling. It’s the total opposite of how I like to grade normally!

Great advice. I used to be great at blending back in my Flame days. Haven’t composited anything in around 5 years now though. I must be getting rusty 🙂

I think there is a lot of timelapse cloud footage out there. I’m pretty sure using something like this and slowing it down could look nice https://vimeo.com/82295259

Great work Dan, thank you!!

Very nice B&W grunge look! Thanks for creating this insight. I just shot some Kansas 4k raw clouds for sky replacement for an upcoming music video and then found you released this. Perfect timing 🙂

Terrific work Mr Moran, that was a very informative and useful insight. Your stuff alone is worth the price of membership. I’m very impressed.
