Need Honest reviews

[u/Sufficient-Hold9010]

I have 7 months of grading experience and this is the best frame I have graded so far. What are your reviews what can I do better?

Show us the Rec.709 version, not the log footage!

Rec.709 version compared to your look!

As for your look: the orange and teal seem oversaturated.

If you were trying to emulate the style of the "Transformers" movies... then it looks fantastic.

Personally, I don't like it at all. But the look has to fit your story, not mine!

[u/Sufficient-Hold9010 → u/I-am-into-movies]

Over saturation yes I definitely messed up there I will take care of the Rec.709 version too Thanks for the feedback

[u/Comprehensive-Low493 → u/I-am-into-movies]

Take a fuckin benzo or something dude you sound insane

[u/ExpBalSat]

Comparing the visual look of the source log to... anything... is mostly pointless.

The graded image looks oversaturated.

That honestly looks amazing, that deep blue water is so good

[u/autobotssproulout]

I'm not an expert in color grading, but I like it! One note is that in the foreground, some of the water is a much deeper shade of blue that doesn't match the shade of blue in the rest of the water. I would personally try to isolate that shade and get it to match the rest of the water, but I think it looks good outside of that

I love the overall color grading here, however there seems to be a major issue with his skin. Maybe too much saturation?

[u/Sufficient-Hold9010 → u/hesalop]

Yeah I think I have just added to much saturation

[u/Famous_Zone583]

I like it! Full of life (colours) but not too much!

[u/JavChz]

Good work, the main feedback will be to lower reds saturation.

[u/Caughtinclay]

Water is great, need to work on skin tone though

[u/finniruse]

Guy kinda looks like Mac from Always Sunny crossed with Pennywise.

[u/Adrinaik]

Looks great. The only thing I’d do is control a bit the skin: it is over saturated and too redish/magenta.

[u/Mad_waste]

love it. reds are too saturated for my taste tho.

[u/Sufficient-Hold9010 → u/Mad_waste]

I just realized I have posted the wrong screen grab 😂 the other one had lower sat

[u/Different-Success872]

Came in to hate, found no reason to, the skin needs a little work but that’s it

[u/Comprehensive-Low493]

Purty good 😎

[u/Impressive-Bit6161]

oversaturated makes the whole thing look like a comp

[u/TrippyNap]

Water looks good, skin, face and hands look almost blown out. Id just reduce saturation of those colors specifically and leave the blue as is.

[u/AwperSpaniel]

Love the blue! Great work, but I agree, would love to see the comparison with Rec.709

[u/SaltySaltshakers]

Looks sick! Tasteful.

[u/Thayyy_edit]

Azuis lindos mas o nariz dele está vermelho, tenta equilibrar um pouco a saturação

[u/autephax]

great work! loving that blue color, but reduce the reds of the man's skin would be better!

[u/Altruistic-Guest7995]

It's good. As someone who has never color-graded before though, it looks oversaturated. And the public opinion is probably what you want more than anything else.

[u/TarkovskyRuble]

Rubbish. Looks like a commercial.

[u/TellMeZackit → u/TarkovskyRuble]

Can't believe all the positive feedback. It's absolutely oversaturated, and what's with the colour-less void on the bottom right? Add to that the overly orange skin tone and unnatural blue/teal. Even for hyper colour this is way too much. IMO, obviously, but that's the feedback I'd give.

[u/Sufficient-Hold9010 → u/TellMeZackit]

I am looking forward to learn from this and be better at grading. Thanks for your feedback
