WK's Gone Diving

Thanks. I'll try to use channel mixers less. Guess I'll just have to start doing a proper white balance.

Thanks. Yes, it is a bit purple. I must be less heavy handed on adding red.

I'm using Final Cut which has many different colour controls. Let's just say that colour grading is an area of continual exploration for me.

Firstly, many thanks for taking time to critique my video. It is much appreciated. - Silence at the start of the video. I have used sound effects at the start of my videos in one or two of my prior videos. It remains as a quirk of my videos. - Copyright text. I could alter position, opacity, size, font, etc. Ultimately, a matter of taste and will never suite everyone so it is what it is. - Colour grading. it is something that I struggle with continually, and would like to improve upon. On area that I'm struggling with in particular is matching the colour of the sea between different clips. As an example, there were 5 clips of the barracuda in the video and I had difficulty keeping the sea colour consistent. The 5 clips were recorded on 5 different dives - different time of day, different depth, different part of the reef, and different aspect. The video below shows the uncorrected video on the left, and the corrected video on the right. http:// https://youtu.be/fpTVQ3IgQ6Y I'd be grateful for pointers on how I could improve the colour grading in general, and match the colour of the sea in particular. Thanks

Thanks. Sipadan has resident schools of jacks, bumpheads and barracuda.

Thanks. I'll try to do betting on lighting.

Please feel free to critique my latest video. https://youtu.be/w-z5s0JihYQ

Glad you enjoyed it.

I used a GH5, Panasonic 14-42 lens, and the WWL-1 dome.

Resorts opened sometime in July.

Thanks. It is one of my favourite dive destinations.

Please feel free to critique my August 2020 video of Sipadan. https://youtu.be/sfEMiemyXTU

Thanks. Glad you like the videos.

Thanks for the tip on lights. I am aware of the various internet resources on colour correction. Will have a chat with you about editing and the entire colour correction process when I am on one of your courses.

You are most welcome. The corals at Sipadan will never be outstanding given the large school of hungry bumpheads and abundant turtles, but there certainly is marine life there. Diving with a school of barracuda numbering over 1,000 was truly memorable.
