Here at cinema5D, we are truly big fans of the film look software FilmConvert. You have to look hard for any recent video which wasn’t graded using the plug-in or standalone software. A very easy and efficient way to get very distinct and refined film looks as well as matching different cameras with all their custom camera presets.
Now, they are looking for entries to their annual Color Up Film Competition again. Your film just needs to be graded with FilmConvert (even their free trial version), and doesn’t need to be specifically created for this competition. Prizes from Sony, Atomos, RØDE, Marmoset, Story & Heart, Stillmotion and more are available for the winners – click here for more details.
If you have something that fits in their categories, hurry up to enter because entries are closing on November 1.
Here are all the details:
Will you make the grade?
