Since an early age, Richard has created animations and short films, but it was only in the last few years that he decided to apply his contemporary filming and editing techniques to the world of weddings.

We’re quite fortunate here at NewBlue to have very talented customers in our midst. One of those is San Diego production company, PinnedTV .
Pinned TV | BBR Films is an emerging production house utilizing the technology advances in HDV cameras and NLE platforms to deliver HD content to television. After two seasons of Pinned on Cox Cable, the Pinned TV production team set a media milestone of shooting and producing an entire season of HD television including writing and producing all 12 spots within the show.
Part of Pinned TV’s successful bag of tricks is NewBlueFX. Explains, director Fred Helm, who discovered NewBlueFX’s Film Look Pro while looking for an alternative to the RAM intensive HD Movie Look,
I was immediately sold on the visual quality of the effects even on 1080i clips.
Much of making a video look like film involves recreating the unintended artifacts of old technologies (hand cranked cameras, for example) and the ravages of time and lazy projectionists.
There’s also a very positive side to the look of film. For example, film responds to light in a non-linear way that compresses the brightest and darkest parts of the image with appealing results. Different film stocks accentuate different colors.
Often, people go to great lengths to achieve a particular “film look” which they use throughout a movie or even a TV series. They set a unique look that might be tied to mood, place, or a time period.
You can design your own look using the appropriately titled “Film Look” plug in.
