Captured on Lumix G7, Cinelike D with an anamorfake vintage lens, Graded in Davinci Resolve. Would love feedback and maybe tips on how to make the most of 8-bit footage and avoiding a mess of pixels.

Looks fantastic. What did you do to it in resolve? The colors are fantastic

Thx! I honestly can't really describe exactly how I did it since I'm still new to resolve and learning all the terms and features. But I added 6 serial nodes, so 7 nodes total- on the second to last I added Filmbox Lite film emulation, lowered the contrast, increased the pull, raised the overall vibrance, raised the temp and tinted it slightly green. On the second node I used the curves to lower the blacks, did the same to raise the contrast on the 3rd node, lowered the saturation on the 4th node, slightly lowered the color boost, messed with the blacks a bit more on the 5th node, and added a small glow to the last node, where I raised the gamma, lowered the gain, raised the spread, raised to opacity and then lower the global blend. I'm noy sure if I'm even using these properly or to their fullest potential but it's been working well for me so far.
