For a recent wedding shoot I had a freelancer use a Black Magic camera. I have heard very good things about that camera, how the footage looks just like 35mm motion picture film! I was very excited. And I was a bit nervous how that footage would mix in when edited in with footage with my other cameras.

It was so much smaller than I thought it would be.
What I saw in the viewfinder screen concerned me, everything was a dull desaturated greenish grey. The camera operator told me to relax, that all blackmagic footage looks like that until color graded in Davinci Resolve.
Well I don’t have Davinci Resolve. I ran the footage through Adobe After Effects and added an adjustment layer with AUTO COLOR and a lot of vibrancy came back into the image.
Then I added “Brightness and Contrast”. Lowering the Brightness and increasing the Contrast helped even more.
It still didn’t look right.
I added a third adjust layer and used HUE AND SATURATION and increased the saturation of the reds and blues and it started to look like the other cameras.
I set it to render then read THIS article:

It says I should have used Effects>Synthetic Aperture.
Hmm I will have to try that on the next shots. So far I am not that impressed. It seems just like my video footage, not this marvelous film look I was expecting. Then again it is most likely the problem is my limited experience with color grading footage from the BlackMagic, and not the camera itself.

Lyrics and Music Copyright 2018 Audioscar.
Now we can try to burn the war at stake or we could
let this revolution lead us astray
they only advertise what they want us to be subjectively
To kill you originality- utilize the information the gov don’t want us to know
look at the mass media everything it controls.
Let alone die hard trying or go home.
These hidden fallacies got us stuck in a war zone,
but its only
you alone
me alone
Get ready to start this war again
Until our fear comes to an end.
Born to lose, but we will die to win
Get ready to bring this war to end
When we fall we will rise again
Born to lose, but we will die to win
Just a product born into the system
manufactured and ship out from an asylum
to profit our behavior
They wanna give us freedom but they slaves you and me
manipulated by the same man who set you free.
I break false regulations and laws and
break free and cause violation
end a revelation, don’t!
Let the mass media conceal who you are so
Die a legend die a star
be true to who you are cause its only
you alone
me alone
Get ready to start this war again
until our fear comes to an end
Born to lose, but we will die to win
Get ready to bring this war to end
When we fall we will rise again
Born to lose, but we will die to win
Will we die?
or give into the screams of war and terror
I know you’re strong so just hold one
hold on to your will
and let this war rage on!

Drawn in Adobe Flash ( Adobe Animate) then exported as a “.swf” file,
It was a little bigger than 1920 by 1080 so I brought the flash “.swf” file into Adobe After Effects. I scaled it down about 80 %. Then I added the website url and phone number, luckily Adobe After Effects had the same font installed as I used in Flash.
I felt the white lettering didn’t stand out enough from the bright white background. So even though it was drawn line art already, I added an adjustment layer with the Stylize > Cartoon filter over everything. It gave the lines a greater thickness.
Then I added another adjustment layer with the ” CC Snowfall” effect on it. White snowflakes against a white background? I put the snow effect layer UNDER the cartoon layer- this giving the snowflakes a thin outline.

I rendered it all as a Quicktime H.264 “.mov ” so it could be uploaded easily to Youtube.
Then I shared it via Twitter and Google Plus.
