DeCristo.TV 8 months ago

I think the footage was well taken. Some of the experts on the subject such as Bloom and Dempsey usually push the envelope with the letus adapter a bit further. Color work was crushed into the blacks a little too much I thought.

Then again I am no expert, thanks for sharing.
Leonardo Dalessandri 8 months ago

hello DeCristo... I worked with the letus and with SGPro
...the black is very thorough but I think it is a matter of taste... I like this!
Dempsey and Bloom are 2 masters and I love their work
thanks.

pessima la volpe morta....
gran colori e nitidezza...ma quella volpe proprio no....
Leonardo Dalessandri 8 months ago

ciao Xavy...
in effetti la volpe spezza un po' con tutto il resto.... contribuisce però all'economia del percorso che ho seguito nel documentare la valle dell'Agri.
Grazie!
marzia bono 8 months ago

a me non dispiace affatto la volpe.... anzi... perchè non mostrarle queste carneficine!
poi nel contesto in cui è inserita risalta maggiormente!
Bravo e continua a proporci i tuoi gran lavori!
Xavy [Perrone Salvatore] 8 months ago

no vabè non voglio polemizzare...hai fatto delle immaigini che sono arte bro!
pero' gli animali morti mi fanno un non so che...
Leonardo Dalessandri 8 months ago

:) nulla in contrario.... anche per me è lo stesso Xavy.
una pecorella smarrita in mezzo alla strada.... un cane che abbaia....una volpe morta su una macchina.... un pescatore....

Jan van der Meer 8 months ago

Hello Leonardo indeed very nice. but what came first, the music or these shots? So did you know the song while filming or found it in post?
Leonardo Dalessandri 8 months ago

hi Jan, many thanks!!!...this song already was in my mind...i got inspiration by "bellissimo"...and during the shoots it was so easy to think to the ended movie....
Nathan Sage 8 months ago

I think this is my favorite video of yours thus far. Gorgeous colors and compositions. Reminds me of Philip Bloom's work, but by all means you've made it your own.

Hello Leonardo,

Really great images, colour and landscapes.
How did you do for the aspect ratio?
Do you put black bars up and down of your video in the film editing or something else?
Thanks.

the aspect ratio was created in post with FCP.
Thanks

Lisa Kassner 8 months ago

I am impressed by how many folks have watched this video in such a short time... Lovely color/colours...

Some of the blacks seemed a bit too crushed and as you commented earlier...you made them that way in post.

The matte board finish at the end made for an interesting motion oil painting type of effect.

Please keep shooting and producing. I like what I see a lot!

Kindest and sincerest warm regards,

Beautiful. I like this sort of style to films involving nature. I have tried to accomplish that in my 'Snow' video project.

Did you use Magic Bullet Looks or anything for colour correction?
Leonardo Dalessandri 8 months ago

yes Jonty, MBL....
thanks :)
Ashley Harrison 8 months ago
