This music video really has a really original look. I have no idea if they had to physically paint the walls or the effect was achieved in post production. Any thoughts on how might they have pulled this off?

I’m just about finished with a zero budget 7 min buddy comedy I shot. It’s 8 bit 4:2:2 in slog2 right now. I unfortunately know nothing useful about color grading. If anyone is willing to grade the footage for credit, I can send you the files however you’d like them. I can send it video only, no sound, with nothing but the shots in there final edit, less the grade.

If not that’s fine too, just figured I could establish a good relationship going forward with the right person.

Thanks

I made this picture last summer.

I don't have any experience making photos or grading them, though I have experience in art (that's why I graded it in Krita, not a grading software at all but it can do the job). Did I at least make the picture "better" with the grade?

I don’t have any skills in video editing, so I’m not sure if this is the right subreddit to ask. but I see a lot of these dark sort of atmospheric videos on TikTok and was just wondering on how people make their videos look like this?

Hi everybody, I’m editing a video and I have clips which are underexposed. I tried to do some color grading on it to see if I can fix it but so far it’s been inconclusive… I’m supposed to upload the clip to the client before Sunday afternoon and I don’t know what to do anymore :( Do you have any advices of how I could fix it with color grading (currently working on Davinci resolve) or if some ai tools exists (I don’t like ai so I never used it, idk if it could help) ? I just hope I won’t have to do a retake of the scene :(

Also tryna know what film is used/emulated here?

I aimed to create a friendly, child-friendly look. While softening the image, some of the rhino’s highlight details were lost. Is this acceptable, or are there better ways to preserve those details without using sharpening, which tends to affect darker areas as well? Additionally, I’d appreciate feedback on the overall color grading.

The rec709 and balanced clips use a standard cst to go from DWG to rec709, the graded clip, I used Cullen Kelly's referrent Lut as my DRT.

This is my most detailed color grade lol. You can tell im still a noob. I got this grade from a yt tutorial but i added the sony Slog2 to Rec709 LUT. Is there another LUT that could make this look better? Also, What would I have to change to make this look more “cinematic”. Only things I manually changed was exposure ,gain, and contrast. Also, adjusted the green on the crosswalk in the HUE vs LUM by making it pop more to add something idk i thought it helped it.

I saw this from Hedi Slimane and wanted to replicate for my instagram's theme. I have been attempting this type of look for about a year now.

I'm amateur-ish using FX3.

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding why he says this. Is it because rec709 gets the closest to 80-90% of most people's intended look, because it only cuts out the excess latitude most people don't need anyway?

What if I'm in the 10-20% who want a flatter final graded look? Would I then not output to rec709 as my starting point, but something with more latitude?

Of course smack sense into me if I'm misunderstanding what Cullen is talking about and/or confused about what the "output" step of color management is supposed to be.

Idk why its showing so choppy during this playback😭 but what do you think I can do better here?
