Shot all this footage a few weeks ago on a visit to an abandoned youth detention center. My first attempt at color-grading, feedback appreciated.

I really like it. The music is interesting and relates to the video. You also have some very smooth pans and steady movement. You did a good job color grading as the cool tones really add to the feel of the video. And lastly, even though it is short it includes only good shots with interesting areas of the location.

However, it seems that you had your camera set to a default profile while filming. The amount of sharpness and contrast looks a bit off especially in the shots with sunlight. I recommend that before you shoot video next time, set up a flat color profile. It varies between camera make and model so you might need to look it up but it will help a lot with the color grading process.

Thanks! The music is Ants by Edit if anyone's wondering.

You're totally right about the profile, im so used to shooting photos in RAW and not worrying about it haha. Wish I could shoot video in RAW too, it'd give me a lot more to work with in post. Ill fix it for next video. Thanks for the help man!

If you have a 5D Mk3/Mk2 or 6D you can if you use Magic Lantern. Not sure about Nikon cameras though.

This is the closest i've even seen someone come to capturing RAW on a D7000 http://nofilmschoo...locked-nikon-d7000
Nikon's capture RAW video from the sensor to feed it to the screen for viewing, and also uncompressed video to the HDMI output, it's just a matter of recording it.

I like it too, nicely done. Short, but at least it's relevant material and it shows the location. Nice job.
