Would like to know if anyone has a technique for color correcting a caucasian person to look African American? If so please list any ideas, tricks, or tips. Much appreciated!
i actually did something similar last week as a test..gimme yr email address ill send u the images
Rohit, thanks brother, its
Would it be possible to publish it here in the forum,
so the rest of us can see too?Thanks in advance.
I remember reading something like this over at vfxtalk a while ago. The link is below…
the test i did fer my client was simple..one color correct / warper to neutralize the colors as in balance them out cos i was working with a stylized FG from TK, then another CW to isolate the skintone, generate a matte, either change the color in the warper [ depending on the quality of the source ] or use a combo logic ops and CW…depending on the amount of separation u may or may not have to rotoscope..worked quite well..the main issues i guess would be talents wardrobe and hair. 🙂
rohit, how did you get around the very different looking highlights in dark vs. light skin tones?
Did you handle it in CW or did you have to work with masks?Rohit, got your pict. thanks sir, looks just like one of the tests that I did. It really depends on the complection of the person. There are so many diff. types of skin tones, each one is so diff. Ill post up some examples of what I did and the final as well for comparison.
depending on the skin tone and the lighting of the shot…the cw has 3 selectives remember..and i used multiple cws in batch…depending on the shot u may or may not have to use masks..a lot depends on the source material.. and highlights can be keyed back in
