A video about swimming (or any sport) maybe has an extra meaning in these times.
My main idea was to show few of my defining feelings which came when I watched this series.
In Hungary we have really good swimmers. I also got inspiration from them.
This project of mine at the same time comes with the following:
Color granding (First time when I doing it in this dept.)
I've built a custom look node tree from scratch with using like 12-14 nodes average.
DaVinci Resolve 16 (which I using for every editing steps) is a game changer for me, so I wanted to take advantage of it's main power.
Well... You need to know the source anime if you want to recognize most of my look's DNA.
I'ts mostly about /numerous/ small details, except: I pulled out lot of green tones from the water and I pushed various parts of the color palette to the direction of blue, with some magenta.
Secondly I tried out some new aspects in cutting, pacing, flow, syncing, effecting and more.
The third thing is...
I spent most of the time with colors, which is became to my favorite part of the process.
During make this project I had a challenging three months with lot of fun. - For example: many-many visual defects (these can be really entertaining sometimes) and dead ends when I built up the main look.
Least but not last: I needed some genre/vibe change after a year and half.
Ps.:
I never wanted to over edit this video.
For me, it's mostly about practice color grades, scene selection and cutting - on the technical side.
(And also getting the cleanest visuals with using the proper color and effect settings.)

I'm glad you feel that way. I did my best with colors.
It's simple like my other previous projects.
For me it was a perfect relaxation watching Free! after worked days - in the beginning. Then I started to really like it.

Thank you for your words. I'll keep them in mind.
We're not alone. I know someone else who using the free version.
Technically I using the Studio version, but the free version is more than a fair offer.
Anyway I started with Vegas, then continued with Premiere but they were
unstable on my config.
I do not regret my decision that I switched to Resolve.
It has lot of potential.
That's impressive.
Yea I kinda know. For me, this project was about practice few things. Pervasive Emotions too.
More complex ideas of mine needs more technical knowledge and artistic sense.
So that's why I'm making different kind of projects, to improve skills and gain some experience.
есть бесплатная версия Давинчи который поддерживает до 4K без ватермарка.
шота ты загнул, подписка на Давинчи подороже будет.
Finally, somebody edited without AE/Vegas. I am really pleased to hear that I am not alone. Wish you good luck, show the World the true power of Free Software.
My record is 102 nodes in one comp ^^.
About clip: music even requires verbally to use this source. As a consequence, it became a solid music/video combination. However, lack of change makes this video somehow boring. BTW, I like your Pervasive Emotions. It has great atmosphere and interesting scenes.
Крепкая и уверенная четверка. Мне понравилось. Спасибо дружище.
