Hi Dr Sassi,
Thankyou for the reply. I had a look at the Magic Bullet Looks, wow there's loads to explore in there. I had seen that in the renderer but had no idea what it did, I thought it was a special effect tool for doing bullets like in The Matrix I find some of the names for Maxon products a bit misleading.
I do understand that there is a hell of a lot that goes into a major film and the whole look and feel is down to a combination of many factors. My needs at this point are much less ambitious though. At this point I'm only doing short product videos but I do have creative control over them so I have the chance to explore this amazing Maxon world I'm only at the beginning of this 3D journey and have so very much to learn. Initially I was just trying to change the picture quality so that it didn't look so much like a video game. I have tried looking at scenes I love the look of and tried to see what it is that makes them look the way they do. The colours, saturation, softness, lens blur, grain, aerial perspective, all those sorts of things. The more I experiment the more I'll learn, reading manuals is one thing but you have to try this stuff out and see what happens and find what works and what doesn't.
Kind Regards
David
