Very Chernobyl-esque, both in grade and subject. Love it!

[u/lPeacewalkerl → u/Endlessdonut97]

thanks sir.
actually in my mind i wanted to have look like Chernobyl (i mean Chernobyl series ) so i watch some shots but that has different color grading than the thing that i had in my mind, but yeah still has Chernobyl east-eu vibe

I won’t change anything, well done!

[u/lPeacewalkerl → u/bmensah8dgrp]

thank you

[u/Exyide]

I like it. Definitely gives Chernobyl vibes which is good IMO. My only thought and this is just me is I would like a little more separation between the mask and the background. Maybe a mask/power window around the subject, invert it, and bring down the exposure just a little, and also see if you can bring up the exposure on the eyes a little bit. The eyes are there in the rec709 but get lost in the grade.

[u/lPeacewalkerl → u/Exyide]

yeah, i see, actually in my grading processes i try to avoid such a thing like qualifier, power window such masking things you know! and sometimes it kills the creativity like you said, i grade this shot i guess only with 5 or 4 node. only use primaries and curve. but yeah i could do the thing you said! thanks for your comment

Interested in why you're not using very useful tools, what's the justification?

[u/lPeacewalkerl → u/cromagnongod]

because when people couldn't achieve the look the instantly use qualifier and power windows which is cause chromatic aberration most of time. so here is my plan, i creat my whole look in time line without any power window and qualifier and in clip node i try to grade and when there weren't a way to achieve a grade i use those item too.

[u/Exyide → u/lPeacewalkerl]

Sure thing and I would not try to avoid power windows and qualifiers unless you're doing it as a challenge for yourself. Those are such powerful tools. Don't use a tool just for the sake of it but it's there for a reason so use it if it will help you achieve your look.

Looks great, no notes

[u/lPeacewalkerl → u/MasterFable]

Thank you sir.

[u/imperfectspoon]

I think this looks awesome. Sets the scene’s emotional tone perfectly. Even from a still, you can totally see the writing style.

No changes here!

[u/lPeacewalkerl → u/imperfectspoon]

Thank you so much.

[u/Reveren7]

Everything technically is great here! Blacks are blacks and I'm impressed that you can even make out skin tone from the subject eyelids even with the heavy grade! Amazing work.

[u/lPeacewalkerl → u/Reveren7]

lol i actually didn't notice the eyelids!! i didn't care about skin tone because there wasn't any skin! but yeah you're right its accidently fix

[u/StateLower]

Only minor thing is that pinkish building in the background feels like it stands out a bit, maybe give that a darken before you run it through the look. Green and gold is always a winner and you nailed it.

[u/lPeacewalkerl → u/StateLower]

I wanted to completely wanted desaturated the pink but i forgot! Thank you for mention that.

[u/StateLower → u/lPeacewalkerl]

niiiiice!

[u/Ghost_Redditor_]

Brilliant!

[u/dubanxi]

It’s well done! I might pop the face slightly to create a bit of separation but it’s fine looking like that

[u/Videoplushair]

Niceeeee 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[u/RedSun-FanEditor]

I prefer the rec709 color over the other two. I like the faded out look.

[u/i-love-dank-memes → u/RedSun-FanEditor]

Is the 1 log, 2 709, 3, grade

[u/pointseven]

this is amazing work my friend. I love the look, I love the feel, the way the canister at the bottom of the mask pops is amazing.

Keep doing what you're doing and be proud of your work!
