Patience in the cold: I shot this in Timelapse mode on my original BMPCC in raw .dng. Luckily I was able to pull some of the highlights back as the morning got a lot brighter than I expected and I didn’t want to disturb the camera to ramp down my exposure till I was finished. I layered in a few other adjustments to make the transition from start to finish flow better. Love tackling challenges like this where our eyes make the needed adjustments so perfectly without our notice but motion picture only has this narrow window to work optimally within so we have to modify and adjust without the audience’s notice. I shot some Super8 film recently that I’ll be sharing and it’s just as important to work within that window with film as it is with digital, though the bias there leans toward this sort of over exposure. I’m excited to see what a high bitrate scan of motion picture film can do in DaVinci Resolve. Film making is magic. I love it.

Shake Shack x Qualtrics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EFuXehpbIY
This was to show how Shake Shack utilizes Qualtirics Analytics tools to accelerate and maximize their product decisions. It features scenes from real Shak Shack locations and actors as customers visiting locations, ordering, and eating together. There are also interviews with executives at the company with B-roll showing their meetings and utilizing the software and tools. There are backgrounds in the Company development kitchen where they create and perfect new products. The project included a detailed brand guide displaying specific tones and hues for logos, locations, beverages, and food.

From a project I colored for Qualtrics X4 about how Shake Shack accelerated their growth with their tools: This particular shot was interesting because I have several selections going on at once to pull in the exposure outside the windows so we don’t lose the highlights there. I have a few selections controlling his beverage on the counter so that the color matches what it should be in their brand guide. The same kind of specificity is being applied to the neon Shake Shack Logo in the background. Neon signs saturate hard on the sensor and so I’ve done some work to normalize it and match the luminance, saturation, and hue perfectly with the brand guide. There are also selections controlling the ceiling apart from the light bulbs so that I can focus things without effecting them. And lastly there are some controls added for his face and shirt. Since the shot has some movement to it, all of these selections need tracked to make sure they stay on what they should be effecting. I’m really pleased with how it turned out. The challenge in developing a composition like this is getting a pleasing balance all around while prioritizing the main subject’s detail and skin tone. The same work is applied to these other clips from the same project. I’m doing some specific things to keep the visible details outside the windows in a pleasing field of contrast separate from the interior so that things can be lifted enough inside.
