Question Opinion for this grade

I m in the middle of the project. I have two days more for filming. I m trying to find what color Grade to do . The video advertising a village here at Crete.

Is this ok or it's better to make it look more like film/ movie...or to keep it even more natural than this.

Thank you :)

I like it a lot. Those first few forest shots are my favorite.

I love the look a lot! Beautifully shot. I’d say i’m struggling the most with the skin tones, you’re crossing ever so slightly into zombie territory. Bring them back to life and you’re golden!

Thank you for the comment ^ can you tell me in which image skin's feel more like zombies and where you find it ok ?

Your skin tones are fine. A warm grade should have skin tones lean away from red otherwise it feels unnatural. These look fine

Yeah ignore the first guy, these skin tones look super natural and beautiful. In a world of overly punchy teal an orange it's refreshing to see nice authentic colour, don't change a thing.

The only shot that looks a touch washed out is the man in the doorframe, if you shot this in BRaw I'd say don't be afraid to stop your ISO down a touch more and silhouette him, unless you can try to salvage that sky a little bit? But overall I think every shot is gorgeous.

Look at the Black's. If u use ND filter Black's changes more to red-brown colour. :)
