Күн бұрын

My color grading process for matching the clips in a scene and giving them all a consistent look is a simple way to get from flat footage to final look quickly! In this video, I take you through a step-by-step, start-to-finish guide on everything that goes into that process. Along the way, we'll learn about nodes, color correction, white balance, film emulation and more!

Mr.Dunna.. I am a Vibrant Grandma on a steep learning curve. YOU, SIR, are the easiest teacher to listen to ! I have been in deep dive mode for many hours. You explain clearly with clarification on the little details where one could easily get totally lost! Please send me a link to your videos. I wouldn't want to miss one. My grand kids are waiting for my inspiration. I must get into production. I love this! Momma Eve

@TeipelFilms Жыл бұрын

Finally someone that shows the actual process that a colorist has to go though when grading an entire scene! Most people on KZfaq only put a nice grade on one single clip and call it a day.... I would suggest to get the look in place before balancing out the shots so you don't get to do everything twice if one of the shots fail to match with the desired look.

@dunnadidit Жыл бұрын

Glad to hear you liked it! I totally hear you on the look. I go back and forth on this. It's tough to get the look without a balanced shot but it's tough to do the balance without a look haha. Often now, I'll balance out one shot, create a look and apply to everything and then balance the rest underneath the look.

Dude...thank you for making this video! I've spent days mostly learning things in small chunks watching a smattering of videos for different things, only to find out that I would have done things differently as soon as I learn more. Getting a proper baseline of a more linear process makes it much easier to conceptualize my project holistically. I also have a much better idea of what gaps in my knowledge I need to fill.
