Above is a before and after of some RAW footage I had found of Venice. In this clip, I wanted to test if I could change the colour to make it look more like it was at sunset. I made the pastel coloured buildings redder/pinkier. I changed the colour of the sky using the ‘window’ tab, Masking around the buildings and the sky and then tracking it to the footage. Then using the qualifier I tried to give the water a similar colour for a reflective look. Its far from perfect but doing that has given me the use of tools I hadn’t before. In the end, I include stills representing the different nodes I used to get this look.
I think next time I need to make the footage a lot cooler. The pastel colours look a little too harsh.
