LOYLE CARNER ‘YESTERDAY’

Colour by Toby

“Ben (Loyle Carner) and Molly really wanted a filmic look for this to compliment the embodiment of time that this video takes place in. We all feel that film is timeless so we planned for a film-out. While preparing the footage for the film out I used a film emulation LUT to preview the effect. Although the film-out looked great, it was a little too heavy in places. We tried mixing the two together but we decided that the film emulation with a bit of extra emulation work based off the actual print gave us nicer results and this is what we went for with the final grade. Would be good to know what everyone thinks!” - Toby
