THAT "CSI MIAMI" COLOR
I was watching a re-run of CSI Miami, and I marvelled at the intense, saturated colors. Is this done 'with filters", or "with computer program" ? How could I get this effect in my pics ? Any speculation ? rj |

Any speculation ? Bump the saturation using the hue sat adjustment of your favorite editor. Be sure to mask out certain colors, such as skin tones, to keep them from going radioactive. -- Mike Russell - www.curvemeister.com |

Be sure to mask out certain colors, such as skin tones, to keep them from going radioactive. I always thought it looked like either an amber (or orange) grad filter or straight amber (or orange) filter, depending on the scene. It isn't very subtle when there is an obvious transition halfway up the image from normal to very amber (or orange) looking. I would also guess that if a amber (or orange) filter was placed on the video camera lens and then a WB taken, it would make all the blues look darker and everything with yellow, red or orange appear much brighter. My guess may be wrong and it all might be done in post-processing. |

I kept wanting to gouge my eyes out. It is so totally unnatural. dickm Ah, but oh so "purdy" on my TV! (A really sharp 42" LCD with excellent color, viewed close.) Beautiful visual technique, I think, and things like "tobacco" filters and boosted saturations that I usually dislike are used to good effect. No, it's not "realistic" (no representation really is, so you may as well have fun with it...;-), but it is very involving visually. My only peeve with the CSI Miami visuals (BTW, the sound is also excellent) is that air views of the city are almost always slightly tilted clockwise. -- David Ruether http://www.donferrario.com/ruether |

There may be some filtration on camera.
However whether the dramatic scenes are initially captured on film or hi def tape they are subsequently processed and edited as digital video and the final product is not film but a video recording. If commercial movies go entirely hi def for production, as is likely the case, apart from getting out of your house, there will be no technical advantage to seeing a movie in a theater as opposed to your own hi def/surround sound set up. |

A Sunset or a dawn is one thing, but when all scenes are given the treatment it is unwatchable. The other factor making CSI Miami unwatchable is the Caruso presence. What drama school teaches THAT method? 'duck |

And lo, babaloo emerged from the ether
and spake thus: There may be some filtration on camera.

If commercial movies go entirely hi def for production, as is likely the case, apart from getting out of your house, there will be no technical advantage to seeing a movie in a theater as opposed to your own hi def/surround sound set up. My friend has an NEC 50" plasma, probably one of the best plasmas on the market right now and a DTS-capable sound system. Owing in part to the theaters in our area being pretty terrible, he really DOES prefer to watch movies on his own setup. At least when you watch it on your own hi-def setup, you don't have to worry about sticky floors, crying children, smelly people, and the high price of admission. -- Aaron http://www.fisheyegallery.com http://www.singleservingphoto.com |
