BEFORE CARTOONR AFTER CARTOONR

Watching television together late one night. NewBlue product design team was inspired by the Charles Schwab commercials that seem to blend live video with a fresh animated effect.

Fast Track Techniques
Colorize by Numbers.

The Colorize Tool, found in the NewBlue Art Effects collection, offers dozens of ways to to draw attention to objects in a scene by managing your color palette. Colorize reduces your image to black and white and then repaints it using a limited palette of colors that you select, typically by choosing directly from the image with the dropper.



For example, start with a scene of two girls in a field of flowers. Create a palette of two colors, blue sky and green plants, by selecting from the image with the color dropper. The girls and the flowers, which lack any hues approaching green or blue, remain black and white, for a ghostly look. Or build a palette of blue sky and red and yellow flowers, and the girls and flowers pop out of the gray plants.

Art Effects

You can also work with the Saturation control to make the colors unbelievably vibrant, as with a cheap post card. Or, dial down the Saturation to wash out the image. Or twist the colors in weird ways by using colors that are out of touch with the picture palette. The ways to add a colorful twist to your scenes are unlimited with Colorize.

Now Featuring:
PinnedTV

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.

" We use NewBlueFX exclusively for all our broadcasts. Thanks for making my job easier! "
-Fred Helm
PinnedTV

Part of Pinned TV's successful bag of tricks is NewBlueFX. Explains, director Fred Helm, who discovered NewBlueFX's Film Effects 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. "

"The presence of the plug in chains from NewBlueFX," continues Helm, "have less of an impact on preview frame rates than any other product I have used and our render times were cut in half. We are customers for life!"
 

Pinned Productions and BBR Films are now developing another TV show for the America One Sports Network broadcasting to over 21 million homes using the same prosumer technology. PinnedTV can be found at www.pinnedtv.com.
