Re: Music video for a tragic heartfelt story - home video footage, kids in africa, some photos - color suggestions? filters presets etc for emotion?

See what you can glean from Patti Bellantoni's "If its Purple...." It is one of the best discussions of the subjective use of color design in motion pictures that I've ever seen.

Be careful you don't slide into cliché. If your viewership gets the feeling you are manipulating them, all is lost. Be honest with your materials. Plugins have their uses, I'm not arguing against using whatever conveys your message, just don't conceal it in cosmetics. Sounds like your patron was about "being real", so don't betray that.

You mean "Old Ben"? Ben Kenobi?
