The Timeless Beauty of Colors

It wasn't until recently that I started to truly appreciate the beauty of color. Haha! So a couple days ago Ira watched my traffic safety video and commented on how "professional" the color looked.... HAHA! Yeah that kind of made my day and it got me thinking too about how much of a difference a bunch of colors can make. As time passes I'm getting way better at color correcting and I can tell because I looked at some of my old videos and noticed how horrible the color was. I touched it up last night and compared the two and the color now makes the video look WAY better! Its amazing what colors can do for your video! Yeah and today Ramiscal was telling me about how its good that I have advance color skills because its better to make your footage look cleaner than to cover it up with after effects..... Ahahaha! So it seems that I have an ace up my sleeve for future competitions :P But it really hit me when I ate lunch at Shiro's today. As I sat there and stared out the window I was looking a tree at a very nice angle and I noticed how rich the colors were. I dunno it must of been the lighting from outside but I'm starting to see the kinds of colors people want to see when they watch videos. I kind of stared at the tree for about five minutes appreciating how rich the colors looked. For some reason it didn't look like just ordinary colors today it looked like something that couldn't be caught on film and I think I know what I need to work towards when I color correct. I guess my eyes are finally being opened to the timeless beauty of colors.
