PRE|SETS
Start in the hall. Ceremony Hall takes the mixed warm-and-fluorescent cast off the room and holds the white cloth below clipping, with members for the chandelier in shot, the register under window and lamp, and a speaker under a single overhead can. Dance Floor follows the wash: gel saturation tamed without changing its hue, magenta and purple cut where the room went one colour, and a flat member for culling hundreds of reception frames in one pass.
Then the stage and the corridor behind it. Stage Face pulls a performer's skin back off the gels toward flesh, a strong correction for the worst mixed wash and a gentle one for light that was nearly white already. Backstage makes the green room, the press riser and the strip-lit corridor publishable, whole frame and not just the face.
The family legs run from the nursery to the school gate to the graduation lawn. Baby Days keeps new skin delicate in the light the room actually has. School Run is handheld and forgiving, shadows opened for the hallway scramble and texture eased so movement is not sharpened into grit. Cap and Gown keeps the black gown's weave alive and rolls the stage light off the shoulders.
Outdoor Group is the last stop: open shade lifted, faces even across a wide row, the blue pulled out of the shade behind the skin. The samples below are a few presets from each leg on the same photographs, so you can see how the card will hold together before the day.
