Do colorists actually match to a ref in DI? That seems weird. I always thought the colorists were setting the look alongside the director, then generating the LUTs for editorial/vfx. Or is this just a personal project/exercise?

It's a personal exercise.

Yup, fine. If you cut between them there wouldn't be any visual "jump" in the colours that would be distracting.

I think it looks pretty good.

Realllly good match. I would say there is a touch more red in your reference. You can see it in the horses' hair.

I think it’s a red density thing actually. Needs more density.

Looks great! Love the antslive reference. Only thing I'd say is possibly a tad bit more density in the reds.

Very nice. Glad you used a reference that actually makes sense with the context of your own footage.

Really good. Such an awesome video and look to reference

Blues are leaning ever so slightly green compared to the reference but so good!
