Update 3: Paul Del Vecchio posted a color correction tutorial on skin tones using Apple Color. Update 2: see also another AEP post, "Correct" skin tones, and Painting HD Cameras pt. Stu referenced an old post on the subject Hue are you?, which points to PrepShootPost's Skin Color conclusion: "We all line up on the same line on a vectorscope, this line is called the 'Flesh Tone Line' or FTL and its on most vectorscopes." Presumably, if a happy medium can't be found, the shot might be send into roto/matte or CC secondary surgery. One person asked about color grading a frame containing people of different ethnicities/skin tones. Update: It's not bad being late to Stu's posts since the threads are a part of the action. The payoff for the rest of us is cool tools and tutorials - in the first one, Creating a Summer Blockbuster Film Look, Stu shows you how to get the Summer blockbuster look of flesh tones and complementary blue-teals as seen in Transformers 2, Terminator: Salvation, and The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3. There's more in Got Me a Side Job at Prolost. Red Giant Software announced that Stu Maschwitz passed the audition and is the new Creative Director for Magic Bullet products.
