HDR effect/plugin?
  • anyway to achieve this look using multiple layers applying specific effects? or has a plugin been made yet? I'm pretty sure I've seen a music video that somebody did and pulled it off, and I think I seen a program maybe a year ago that was supposed to convert footage to look HDR but from what I can remember it was a joke. I'm looking for more than just vibrant colors, but if I had to guess that would be one of the processes of doing it yourself with multiple layers.

  • If you use after effects you can do it with GingerHDR. it is pretty simple plug-in ( no multiple layers) http://19lights.com/wp/

  • The Shadow/Highlight effect in AE can do something similar to HDR.

  • The LOOK of HDR is the emphasis on edges. Plugins can not get you the dynamic range of HDR. But you can always use a sky gradient ND filter and a Plugin like Magic Bullet Looks, which has the effect "Pop", that is similar to that of the music video that you mean.

  • Unsharp mask. Multiple layers with different radii.
