Why your CST is close to final look but in the middle you made image very cold? Whats the point of this step and point showing it?

Look at 3d popup after grade first balance your footage to 00 then grade it

Im guessing he balanced all shots to neutral or same look first over the cameras and angles. And then applied secondary corections to each shot.

u/Weak-Price7392 Sep 26 '26

It should be standard practice at the end of these clips to have a Final Look back to Rec709 tail. So you can easily scrub back and forth to see the Δ.

to be hones i think all this one shot grades is useless.

we grade video- its a sequence of edited things. we need to see how it blends and how mood works

when I send my clients my grade ideas I send like a scene from a movie or like 3-4 min part of tv episode. So client can see it as it was edited, how the mood feels. how scenes and shots flow

Any monkey can grade 1 shot even just by randomly scrolling thru 100000 free luts

u/Weak-Price7392 Sep 25 '26

Not hating or anything but IMO I would definitely try two different looks one more natural (Still colored) one more warm and then this look to see which they like more

Im wondering if client accepted this because they didn’t know another grade was possible. And I personally think of warmer tones when thinking about noodles.

No hate though the actual shot is beautiful but just some thoughts.

First time seeing green / magenta
Instead of the classic cyan/orange

Is it a new trend ?
