About:
I am a professional colorist and have worked with brands such as Prime Video, Adidas, Toyota, Vizio, etc. Outside client work, I run a color academy with over 6000 students. My channel mostly focuses on the taste-making (subjective) aspect of color grading. With the rise of AI, I truly believe that most of the grunt, technical (how-to) tasks will be handled by the software, and the job of a colorist will be purely driven by their art and imagination.

The film look is the reason why I still use the Blackmagic Pocket Original and the Canon EOS M with Magic Lantern. But, the flip side is that sometimes I do not like the film look and have a hard time editing the footage to change that.

I have an idea! We buy the most expensive camera with huge dynamic range and 6k resolution, and we also add an arri master prime lense to remove any chromatic aberations, halitions and other artifacts to make it all look like we actually did not spend so much money on that kit :) Genius!

Very nice looking results. It is worth pointing out, when it comes to contrast, creaminess, halation, flare, etc. lens selection cannot be over-stated for its contribution to the final image, regardless of recording medium. And so part of what is also happening here isn't just film emulation, it's lens emulation as well.

What a great explanation on how to grade the film look. Good Job! 💪🏼 But one question though: My problem is that the color is breaking in some midtones and shadow areas. I get these ugly and chunky blocks of color. Quite big ones. Is there any workaround or fix for that? I already tried a bunch of stuff and the only half decent solution is cranking the Chroma NR (first node) and getting rid of some saturation in the shadows and mid tones (later down the line)... But than the skin looks pale. I filmed with my brand new Canon EOS R6. Shot in Clog 3 with Canon Cinema Gammut at the base ISO. The footage is in 10 Bit 4:2:2. Thanks in advance, guys!✌🏼

@Waqas Qazi Thank you for making this breakdown this really makes it simple to get a cinematic look. For the halation workflow, say for example we have a film that is cyber punk inspired and neon lights, would I be able to introduce pink into the halation or purple to match the more of the tone or style of cyber punk look?

thanks for the tuturial and visualising the content thaat was great. So can i ask to understand better when i went to see the Batman film the other day i noticed grain, what would that fall under and why in this digitaal aid? was it added? or was it an affect of the picture being stretched over a huge cinema screen? Or was it the affect of the process?

@annabelsamantha6982 3 жыл бұрын

When you shoot film, you are shooting a negative. The negative has inverted colors, so in order to get a displayable image for projection, you need to "print" the negative on to positive film, hence the name "print film". Kodak 2383 is the only print film that Kodak still produces. If you go to a theater that still projects 35mm film today (probably for a Tarantino or Nolan movie), you are watching the movie being projected on a Kodak 2383 print. Negative film examples: Kodak 5207 250D - Daylight balanced color negative film Kodak 5219 500T - Tungsten balanced color negative film Positive film examples: Kodak 2383 - Color print film Kodak 2393 - Color print film (discontinued) In Davinci Resolve, the built in Kodak and Fuji print film emulation LUTs are designed to be applied to film scans in order to recreate on a Rec. 709 display what the film negative will look like once it is printed and projected. That's why they need a Cineon film log input. Cineon is a type of film scanning system. Resources & useful tools: Juan Melara has some good info and powergrades on print film emulation As does Tom Bolles with a super in depth powergrade / node tree for film emulation (CinePrint16) which I highly recommend. Very powerful if you learn how to use it right. Check out Kodak’s website for detailed specs/info on their film stocks

The highlight glow in the Django Unchained tree image comes partially from stockings behind the lens. From ASC Mag 2013: "When Richardson wanted to soften a shot, he’d ask Tavenner to glue a stocking across the rear element of the lens. This was done mostly for scenes set in the South to reduce overall contrast and add a slight bloom to the highlights. “That reflects the nature of the light down south, which is kind of humid, a little glowing,” Tavenner notes. The stockings varied in their styles and patterns, “but [the effect] mostly depended on how it was stretched and matched to the different focal lengths,” says Tavenner. “Over the years, all these nets have gotten mixed up in my kit, so I just grab a stocking and judge the quality by eye.”
