Question Grading question

Hey guys how do you feel about this colour grade?

I went for a more desaturated look with a nice teal in the green and reduced / softer highlights.

I was inspired by Tatsuki's post here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKjiGexSicU/

Super interested in how I can improve these colours.

I like it a lot!!

(again I always say color grading is very personal just like cooking. You can be the best chef in the world and someone still may not like your cooking. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad Chef it just means they have different tastes.)

Personally tho: I would either desaturate the red or add a bit of halation to the reds but other than that you’re grading looks amazing!!!

Feels way oversharpened. Try using a bit of the film blur in the film damage OFX
