How can I better color grade my a-roll and b-roll to match skin tones?
#1
As someone who's recently single again, I'm looking for practical dating tips for singles that actually help in finding a compatible partner. So much advice out there seems either too generic or focused on game-playing rather than genuine connection.

Some dating tips for singles I've found helpful: being clear about what you're looking for but also staying open to surprises, working on yourself and your own happiness rather than expecting a partner to complete you, and putting yourself in situations where you can meet people with similar interests.

What dating tips for singles have you found most effective? I'm tired of advice that just tells people to "put themselves out there" without any practical guidance on how to do that effectively.

I’ve been trying to get better at matching the color and feel between my A-roll and B-roll, but my interview footage always ends up looking flat and disconnected from the more cinematic cutaways. I’m grading everything in the same project with the same basic adjustments, but something about the skin tones and background depth just doesn’t blend.

I did the same thing and the interview skin tones stayed flat next to the cutaways even though the two clips shared the same grade.

Back when I tried this I felt the B roll always had more depth while the interview sat in a pale box no matter what I did with the grade.

Maybe this is not the grade at all the light in the interview could be wrecking the depth and making the skin look flat.

I remember a time when the B roll lived in a different color space and the overall depth jumped when the shot landed in the same project it felt off.

I once tried a warmer key light and the feel shifted but the cutaways still stood out against the interview it felt like a different mood and I kept wondering if the room color had more to do with it than the grade.

Could it be that the cutaways were shot with a different lens or exposure making the depth feel separate from the interview?
