Gorilla grain download
This is a link to a download of gorilla grain. As a student it
would be too expensive to buy but It is something that I think people may find
useful if like me they want to add grain effects to their digital footage. The
problem, if it can be considered a problem with is that it is very clean for
the most part. The only time it is not clean is when there is noise in the
frame noise unlike grain looks ugly as it speckles with colours which ruins a
shot, hence why I have studied the best ISO settings to use as most of the
noise issues occur through ISO that aren’t native to the camera or at high ISO
levels. When this isn’t an issue the footage is very clean and sometimes people
don’t want that. People’s eyes are often used to the grain levels in film which
although can be very subtle are nonetheless a unique aspect of film. However
this can be replicated through digital through software like gorilla grain that
has many grain effects from light, to, heavy to add more of a film look to
digital footage. This is something that have been looking a lot at of late, for
my silent film as I want to replicate the heavy grain effect we would expect
from a silent movie. Luckily this software has this as well as film burns which
would look great for a silent film. I have been playing about with the software
a bit on old footage and adding colour effects to give a soft look to the
characters as well as playing with old and vintage film looks to try and create
a silent film look and I think I have found it with the sepia effect on magic
bulllets colour looks, a software program that offers many custom looks that
can be edited to large degree to attain unique looks. I will eventually post
some of my edits on youtube so people
can see the look I am going for mainly my editor who I hope will replicate
these type of effects when he edits it.
