Somadrone - Providence

Somadrone - Providence from ξοgΙιαη κιdηεγ on Vimeo.




The Providence video for Somadrone was my second time working with Mr. Eoghan Kidney (the man who cleaned house at the Irish Music TV awards )and has worked with delorentos, Fight Like Apes and when we last worked together I shot a chunk of the Underworld - Downpipe Video.

This video was shot by eoghan himself on a Camera similar to my trusty "clarence" also known as a Canon 5d mk ii..his twin brother perhapse

My job on this video was a pretty basic colour grade, the reason I didn't go too crazy on the over all look (apart from me doing this all in one night till about 3am) was that I love the perfect whites of the snow and didn't want to play around with it too much.

My main focus was on getting rid of the tungsten / orange hue in the shots where they had used a fill light.

Thanks to the trusty Avid DS System I was working on (I love flame for commercials but you can't beat the DS for anything over a minute or two) I could just use a secondary colour correction which in simple terms means I can isolate his skin and change it to green or purple if i want to but in this case i brought it back to normal colour.

Once i had the corrections established I went after working on the overall look which in this case was just tweeking the levels and adding some blue into the shadows.

I'm hopeing to get involved in more music videos in 2010..no money involved at all but great fun.
