#Ro's caos remastering adventures

Editing footage for this gifset was like [insert mythical struggle here]. It took more passes more than I’m used to giving, and having to cave and do a full background mask was painful, but in the end I’m glad I did.

0: What am I looking at? (I mean, apart from a brave and stunningly handsome woman who has achieved an exemplary lük despite the absolute metric fuckton of internal crises she’s dealing with) 1. Lightening up, sharpening, warming... oh look, blocks! blocks everywhere! And man is this levelling bland. 2.  Mid and low tone warming, saturation and contrast curves. Funny thing that happened here, I wanted to sharpen more, but on top of the sharpening from last pass, even the lowest setting produced too many artefacts, so I applied a gaussian blur and then sharpened that. 3. CANDLE LIGHT GRADIENT MASKING BAYBEE! I thought it’d be neat if I could mimic an altar full of candles being behind her too. (This was the true religious trauma tbh.) Also more contrast and colouring tweaks. 4. Added animated gaussian noise to break up the remaining artefacts (it’s fine, grainy church footage vibes) 5. A little bit more levelling so the brightness of the text doesn’t jump out too much from the background. Yay classical font, yay Latin melancholy!

Just putting this here so my proofs are organised. Still amazed I was able to recolour her without masking frame-by-frame, though the fog was a force to be reckoned with and did win in a few cases.

#Ro's caos remastering adventures #Lilith #god she's beautiful #Sure putting her in all blue is very atmospheric #but I quite enjoy seeing her blue eyes in isolation

#Ro's caos remastering adventures #caosedit #caos #Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #Every episode looks better as I continue to learn new things by trial and error in Sony Vegas #I do my utmost but as you know with a show as dark as caos sometimes I'm left with dead pixels #in which case #we're stuck with blocky artefacts #happily that is mostly a background issue #Please feel free to use screencaps of my work for your manips #and clips for your MVs #but credit is always lovely #it doesn't need to be prominent just there #You can just label it Ro-master instead of my blog if it's off tumblr

Before and after for my current gifsets. 

#Ro's caos remastering adventures #Ro gifs #Naturally when one works on these cottage scenes where the fire is dancing #one ends up with a flashy background #but I do think it's part of the ambience as long as it isn't too visually distressing #If it *were* I'd just abandon gif XD #Or I guess spend two hours masking if I was super in love with the concept

Hawthorne: *engages in casual workplace sexual harassment* Lilith: *issues demure refusal* Hawthorne: *thinks she might be into him* Lilith: *intimates potential future cannibalism* Hawthorne: *assumes a flattering innuendo* Lilith: *abandons her own office in utter disgust*

#Is this what cishets call flirting? Ah the romance #Michelle Gomez #lilith caos #caosedit #ro's caos remastering adventures #Lilith #the extreme zoom on her exit was so entirely worth it #The man is so deeply vile #Her face says 'How on earth does he still have this job? and did it do this to Mary Wardwell before??' #She's giving him so many body language clues of disinterest #look how she fidgets with her thumbnails #in the fourth one #Just hoping he'll get the message #and he's so clueless that she eventually just LEAVES her own office #ugh y r men so gross #Ro gifs

This scene really is a challenge to clarify! I think I used ten different points of adjustment, and layered multiple passes of light curves and colour balances.

“Your poor, weak, feeble heart couldn't handle the strain, could it? It was all just... too much for you.”

Covering her office with tacky Valentine’s stuff is one thing, but adding angels to the mix is just like... I mean, her face says it all. 

“Oh cool, a whimsical child version of the race of beings who chased me all over the Wastes, slaughtered thousands of my children in moments, and tried to make out like they were the good guys in trying to strong-arm me back to TFG’s knee, love that, let’s definitely keep those around, very cute”

"Ms Wardwell? Thank you."

Lilith is: 1. tired 2. relieved that Sabrina didn’t call her back for more drama 3. deeply confused by being genuinely thanked by someone

I’m uploading a trailer that uses a diagonal mask, so that the action moves across from original to remastered footage, meaning that the viewer’s eye can’t just opt out of the grey part, you’re going to actively see the difference in detail, etc. Honestly, I’m a bit shocked that there’s still so much detail to dig up from the background and clothes.

Theo has a framed artwork of these freaking GREMLIN CATS on his bedroom wall and I absolutely love it???

The DETAIL that went into these sets, we were utterly robbed. Like, this tells us SO MUCH about the kid.

Remastering CaoS 1-7: Feast of Feasts. Here’s a preview of how Prudence’s milk and rose bath scene will look, because Tati Gabrielle deserves so much better.

Remastering this scene because I’m weak and... Ma’am... that half-smirk... I’m going to have to ask you to retract it, I’m unfortunately much too gay.

#Ro's caos remastering adventures #She is actual art #This time she put WAY more effort into bullshitting Sabrina #she paused a lot to actually consider what she was saying #gone is the panic #she's suave af #afterall #she's Principal Wardwell now #Ro gifs

Original broadcast footage versus Ro-mastered footage. Whenever I get down on myself about how my gifs look, I like to do a side-by-side to remind myself that I do pretty well, given what I’m working with. It helps to remember.

#Ro's caos remastering adventures #Lilith #The Mephisto Waltz #This scene was so full of wonderful rich colours #shrouded and muddied #what we could have had! #Ro gifs
