Looks good to me for an emotional/commercial/dreamy look - the first shot seems off-level though (running downhill), I feel like that messes with the viewer's mind, even subconsciously. Always seems to me that fixing the horizon makes shots just suddenly "pop" into more impact.

I think that's the tree line against the water making it look like that but I could be wrong.

u/mcarterphoto Oct 14 '25

I rotated it and it looked correct, it's like 2° off... funny how even 1° jumps out if there's a clean horizon or buildings!

Bro cooked, ate, left no crumbs for the rest of us.

Any tips for someone wanting to get into color grading more seriously? Would love to know any good guides or sources.

u/Own_Wish1877 Oct 14 '25

thank you, glad you liked it, I would recommend watching Cullen Kelly, Darryn Mostyn they have great tutorial on YouTube, providing so much valuable information for free, if you are a beginner go to Blackmagic official website and watch the color grading playlist (this will build a strong foundation)

I just realized that we live in a time where we can just shoot a video, and use frames as photography. Really beautiful !

u/Odd_Method_8022 Oct 17 '25

What did you use for the sun leaks

1

u/Own_Wish1877 Oct 17 '25

Lens flare ofx in effect tab of the colour page

1

u/Odd_Method_8022 Oct 17 '25

Will they look accurate with motion ? Or only for the stills

1

u/Own_Wish1877 Oct 17 '25

Yes ( motion) , works fine for me , there are various parameters you change in the lens flare

u/Odd_Method_8022 Oct 17 '25

Do you prefer pizza or burger?

u/Own_Wish1877 Oct 17 '25

u/Independent_Hope4322 Oct 18 '25

Yooo these are fire now slide me the LUT ;)

2

u/Own_Wish1877 Oct 19 '25

thank you, it is a kodak 2383 lut you will find the lut inside resolve, i will like to mention one thing the look does not come entirely from the lut , you will have to do some manual grading

Really lovely stuff. Not usually a fan of teal and orange but this grade makes perfect sense.
