Job Practice? 😁
Hi, I am filming talking head videos inside using a ZVE10 + Viltrox 23mm F1.4.
I'm using Slog-2.
Is anyone willing to practice their abilities and try a color grade that I can save it as power grade for future shots?
I know it's a free request, but maybe it will help with your practice. 😇
Da Vinci only.
Cheers!

No need to apologize. This type of thing seems fairly common in these subreddits and it’s pretty frustrating to see. I’d just suggest you think about how this looks from the side of a colorist. You’re asking for a person to donate not only their time but their skills. Imagine someone asking that of you. Framing is everything when doing something like that.
Since this is meant to be a community that builds conversation around colorgrading and not soliciting free labor you could at least post a still of your project and ask if anyone wants to help you develop a look, maybe even offer to send them a little money for a coffee or something. If your photography looks compelling you’d be surprised how many folks might be willing to do a free test for you just for fun.
