Software Explorations - Extrapolated Color Spaces

For these explorations, I didn't want to randomly explore things.  I wanted an area of focus for my explorations, so I choose to explore several visual effects in Premiere that would manipulate areas of natural light and extrapolate them into areas of modified colors based on the way that different filters would derive them.  I would either intensify the effect via multiplication or simply change the level of the filter, but this being a video exploration, I wanted to see the various stages of the effect applied over time.  Also (to satisfy my own self-serving inquiries), I applied an Ultra Key filter to cut the sweeping areas of black (basically, I "green screened" the black out), so I could apply the color areas back onto the original video.

Posterizing Exploration Sequence

Exploration Notes:
Posterize effect applied once.  Deviations from level 2 (at start) to level 32 (at finish).
Ultra Key effect added with full transparency (black) to allow the effect to bleed onto the original.

Gamma Correction Exploration Sequence



Exploration Notes:
Gamma Correction effect applied 5 times.  Deviations applied at every 5 seconds leading in (at start) at 1 and out (at finish) at 28.
Ultra Key effect added with full transparency (black) to allow the effect to bleed onto the original.

Color Embossing Exploration Sequence

Exploration Notes:
Color Emboss effect applied 3 times.  Deviations at 0, 120, and 240 degrees (three-way pull) and relief bumped up to 5.00 to increase displacement of effect.
Ultra Key effect added with full transparency (black) and shadow set from 0 (at start) to 100 (at finish) to allow the effect to bleed onto the original over time.
