It will take a lot of free time and patience to make a film in color, as it is quite laborious work. Also, the skills of image processing in graphic editors will be useful to you.
Necessary
- - a program for coloring video recordings;
- - a set of brushes and palettes;
- - skills in graphic editors;
- - video processing programs.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a color palette after downloading a few of them online. You can also use some digital images as a reference and create a palette from the existing gamut. Purchase video frame coloring software. Most of these programs are paid.
Step 2
Pay attention to the camera work. If most of the shots were filmed with a video camera mounted on a tripod, you are in luck, since you will have to do much less work - you only need to paint for such episodes once.
Step 3
Choose a set of brushes for coloring images. In video programs, they work by analogy with graphics editors like Adobe Photoshop. All work is done in coloring mode, without using brightness parameters to color the pixels in the image.
Step 4
Review each episode carefully and finally decide what the final set of brushes and palettes will be. It is possible that an additional palette may be required to add a special effect to a scene. On average, if you devote about 5-7 hours of work to this process every day, it is quite possible to finish editing a full-length film in a month and a half. But everything can depend on the length of the movie and the number of frames per second, the number of episodes is also important. It is possible that the movie you want to color contains a small number of them, shot with a camera mounted on a tripod.
Step 5
If you want to apply any filters to the video to give special effects, do it after colorizing it. It is also recommended to apply some filters after painting to hide small defects.
