Picture Style Research - After Arcadia

I watched a tutorial on Dynamic Range and Picture Styles for Canon DSLR cameras after Joe sent me the link that he had mentioned a few days ago.



I found this video very informative and very helpful, as it showed me what an personal picture style could do for your footage that you shoot on the camera. The software that is mentioned in this clip was really put off to my by the narrators summary of it being 'a piece of shit' but then looking at the styles that people have achieved with it was very cool; for the purpose of this project I feel that looking into the software might be too much to take on, I did really like some of the custom picture styles shown in the video, but really part of the project for me and for my own development; I don't really want to download a custom picture style off the internet to use as I feel that I would be cheating myself in the aspect of a learning curve. So I'm going to actually create my own picture style just using the options in the User Preference on the actual 550D itself.

I'll plan on trying to create a user defined picture style on the camera that will start to drain the colour out of the image and hopefully this will give better results in post production when I apply colour correction to the footage to get that stylistic yet realistic feel and look I'am aiming for.
