Dear Ghosts,

The colorgrade is based off Burning (2019), which is a big inspiration for me and what I based this video off of. I turned it into a LUT for those interested called CleverNatura, which is really versatile and I applied it to 90% of this video as it works in all kinds of color palettes, day or night. Has a subtle Arri look, check out https://www.cleverghost.net/ for more info.

So although I find myself using deep focus more, I still think bokeh is here to stay. A lot of filmmakers have been shifting toward shallow depth of field, even Nolan and Villeneuve and their respective cinematographers. There are some blurs that I didn't really go over such as softening from noise reduction and back/ear focus. Also when you go from 4k/6k to 2k or 1080p there is a pleasing softness, a lot of great movies are viewed in 1080p, the only problem is 1080p for youtube as compression softens and degrades the image but in an unpleasant way. Perhaps I'll save these for another day as I wanted to focus on these blurs. There's another benefit I didn't really touch upon, blur also conceals noise if that is something that plagues you. I imagine some netizens will still be skeptical, but sometimes you want to shoot wide open and sometimes you want deep focus, these tools can help you maintain sharpness consistency. Also I interchanged motion blur and rolling shutter blur, I hope you were able to decipher what I meant. Finally, I mentioned that radial blur is overpowering, but i do sometimes go over 3.0, about 3.2 when i want a very stylized swirl, just didn't make sense for this project. Also the order matters if you combine effects like tiltshift and radial.

Spend wisely.

Love,
CleverG
