Tools that save your neck

Neck or any other part of the anatomy. Figuratively speaking.

I rolled the camera for the Kunnimanikal video. It turned out alright. I am happy with the final video. An overcast sky mute the colors quite a bit. I had to do some color correction to make the childhood images more cheerful.

Here is an example:

The last day of the shoot. Its do or die time. It was raining. Light was falling quickly and I shot this near a canal. The structure, now abandoned, was built long time ago to house a water pump. Its amazing how a tree managed to grow so well on top of that.



Anyway, the results are dramatic. You can see the transformation from a gloomy rainy evening to a hopeful dawn. Like I said in my previous post.. Its democracy time in media. Tools are available. All it takes is some patience and will power.. and some luck!

Yep. Magic Bullet Suite it is. It crashed my Adobe Premiere a zillion times but it all worked out in the end.
