DIARY OF A HITMAN - FILM

EDITING APPROACH

For this music video edit we wanted to allow the edit to breathe to take in the scenic views of the mansion location. At times we begin to build the edit pacing to the music. In the end it all came together smoothly for the client being pleased with the luxury of the visual.

COLOR APPROACH

Shooting on Arri Alexa LF with Zeiss Prime lenses as the choice of our selected camera gave us a lush start to begin with the amazing dynamic range capability Arri comes with. We started with a custom Arri LUT and worked from there to create natural balanced skin tones with a pop of color around Kidd Kenn and Erica Banks. Not bringing down our blacks so much to create a moody or muddy image but adding subtle contrast to make the color stand out. Finally adding a kick of warmth to the overall visual to make the imagery poppy and fun. They were pleased with the final output. 4K color frames are below for viewing.
