[Konvas] under - and overexposing

[fauxfilm at aol.com]

I'm late to the party here, but did give the samples some tweaking, in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.

I tried both adjusting levels, and making just brightness/contrast adjustments.? To my slight surprise, I had better results just making simple ProcAmp adjustments (cranking contrast waaaay up and lowing brightness by about a third) than I did with adjusting levels.? Levels made the image a little muddy for my taste.

Samples are attached (I hope I made them small enough to go through), and I pasted a bit of the Premiere effects window on top so you can see what I did (the ProAmp settings were changed within the Matrox Color Correction filter, but the regular Adobe color correction filter in Premiere should yield the same results.

I know this is not what you had in mind when shooting, but you can't deny that it still is a pretty cool effect.? The funny thing is, if we TRIED to get this effect we might not have results this good... ha.
