This time I filmed a small feature about my Corvette C6 and I examined, that automotive movies are not really my case.
The efforts to get a few good shots, are very high and it took me several shooting days, to get the material together.
The workflow for this movie was also a little bit strange. The different footages were totally different from each other, especially the light situations.
Therefore I converted all shots into image sequences which I pre-graded in Lightroom, to achieve a general (more or less) flawless look.
To adapt the settings to each shot, was a pain in the ass, but in AE it would have taken much longer, I guess.
Afterwards I final graded the material in After Effects, but there it took me just a few clicks in Magic Bullet Looks.
