Unnecessarily artsy building in the woods.

More of my color grading on an optical illusion sometimes referred to as video... Original video by Matthias Groeneveld. www.pexels.com/video/spooky-house-in-the-wood-5342199

An overdramatic old man in an equally overdramatic forest

Some more of my color grading over the stock video. This time besides the actual color grading itself, I also added some effects like glow. There's no audio.

I mean, it's like the polar opposite of my previous trials... Original video by German Korb. www.pexels.com/video/dash-cam-footage-in-city-driving-4644481

Unnecessarily dramatic drone flyover.

Anyway, I finally tried applying my favorite extreme color grading to a stock drone video to prove to myself that it works on more than just static imagery. In my opinion, it looks good enough, but in this case, the compression of the video itself in combination with the strong exposure of colors in some places creates a flickering effect caused by the manifestation of so-called "jpg artifacts". This probably wouldn't have happened if the footage wasn't compressed so much, besides, it could have been easily avoided by turning down the color grading just a little bit, but since this is a test video made God knows why, we'll leave it as it is to serve as a historical memo I guess... There's no sound, by the way. Original video by Matthew Lee Moore. www.pexels.com/video/drone-footage-of-a-town-854222
