On the links Below are the original Photo-shoot photos of the male parts of my music video for Jack's Mannequin "The Mixed Tape". There is only one column up because the right column will have the finished edited versions of the pictures I choose to proceed with.



In these photos I wanted to make them very contrasty with light lights and dark darks. I used some natural light from outside but set up lamps and other light sources for good artificial light quality in order to get good directional light. I did this type of lighting in order to show more movement in the faces and objects because I feel that it would get more attention by the viewer, it would be more aesthetically pleasing.

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

Okay, 

so here are the new links since the other ones weren't in RGB. The clarity in them aren't too great because I just took a screenshot, but the color adjustments can be seen fairly well.

Video Layer Adjustments_Post 1

Okay,

So I took two still images from the video and brought them into Photoshop and adjusted them to create a better video feel and to get the viewers eyes to follow better and recognize the contrasting of the two people. for some reason the JPG images are fine on my files but look really funky on here. I'll give a link to Photobucket Here and Here so you can see them better.

The first image is the man at the piano. I put 3 adjustment layers on it. An Exposure layer, Hue/Saturation layer, and a Brightness/Contrast layer. On the Exposure layer, the exposure level is at +.51, offset level at -.0439, and gamma level at .93....this creates a more unnaturalistic  feel. On the H/S layer the hue level is at -16, creating a warmer feel, the saturation level is at +5, and the lightness doesn't change. The B/C layer is the layer that creates the darkness of the scene, I am trying to focus the shot strictly on the man's hands playing the keys and not any of the background areas. The brightness level is at -103 and the contrast is at 100.

The second image is of the woman running in the park. I plan on reshooting this whole scene at a different park though, but for now this is around the color choices and adjustments that I would like for it though. I used 3 adjustment layers for this scene as well. Exposure, Hue/Saturation, and Color Balance. The Exposure and H/S levels are fairly similar except for the hue level is opposite in order to reveal the opposing positions of the two characters. the Color Balance adjustment is there to further enhance the coolness of the scene.

designer Stage-video, rough edit2

I have edited a little more, not anything with color correction though. but have tried to smooth some transitions out from last video and created a 16:9 ratio for the whole video. 

I have compressed the video from an HD 1080 x 720 (600 MB) to an 8.1 MB film to be able to post on blogger. 

Once I get credits at the end I'll be able to post it on VIMEO.com and it will be better video quality. But for now this is what I have.
