Clearing up the yellow tint on Chris's videos -

[CWCThinker]

Today, I got really bored and decided to try and reduce the yellow tint on some of Chris's videos using After Effects. I have uploaded these to YouTube, and you can see my attempts at cleaning up the videos here:

I'd be interested to hear what you think of these.

I think peering into Chris's life with piss-colored lenses adds to the unsanitary atmosphere.

 

[The Mackers]

These actually look surprisingly good!

I LOVE your corrections to these videos. I do agree that the original videos give it some sort of... "special attribution", though. Great job! I would love to see a playlist of these color corrected ones, though.

 

[Big Bob Pataki]

the ivy video is even creepier now that you can actually imagine being in the room with him

Oh shit- he's entered into our dimension!

Seriously though- very nice work, esp. considering what you're working with.

 

[BillRiley]

Congratulations! You've made the Message for Ivy video even creepier than the original! Seriously though, well done.

 

[Pikonic]

Wow yes I agree great change

 

[Mourning Dove]

The original tint was probably just orange Fanta smeared on his camera lense.

 

[Male]

you mean chris didn't urinate all over his room and himself when making the videos???

 

[milkshark]

The original tint was probably just orange Fanta smeared on his camera lense.

I'm guessing it was that fluorescent tube light he has on his ceiling. Those lights look yellow in photographs. Back when I used to get actual film developed the technician would put stickers on my photos explaining why they looked shit and how it was my fault for poor lighting, lol.

Good work, i imagine that you must have been really bored to do something like this, but now, at least you can see how creepy those videos are (even more) but i don't know, the yellow coloured videos made it feel as if you were actually looking at all the filthiness that surrounds chris...

 

[Zim]

Very nice! I'd thought about doing this a few times but, alas, laziness overtakes ambition when it comes to this project. Chris's inability to white balance really annoys me sometimes.

 

[likeabadgirlshould]

This is great lol.

 

[The Dude]

The original tint was probably just orange Fanta smeared on his camera lense.

No, no, no...it was the noxious gasses Chris' body naturally gives off.

 

[TheIncredibleLioness]

These look really good! Seeing them without the yellowish haze really makes them have more impact to me, in the sense that they actually look more...real. How did you do it?

"I'll be in your dreams!"

 

[Judge Holden]

I concur with the others. These vids are excellent. Though seeing Chris's nightmare message in even more clarity is rather disturbing

 

[littlebiscuits]

Seriously, thank you for doing these. They're really excellent. If you ever feel motivated to do more, I think it would be interesting to see some the videos with shots of the kitchen or his bedroom. It might be neat to see some cleaned up shots of the hoard.
