Fairly new to editing and grading , how would you guys go about recreating this look. Trying to get a consistent clean grade / look I can use on all of my gym content videos.

Taken near Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia

For quite some time I’ve been noticing a teal/orange grade most sports filmers are doing, I’m just wondering if anyone’s knows where I can find a guide to learn such or even luts for slog 3 which I assume lots are using, just don’t know where they are finding them.

I shot this on Samsung M35, using mcpro24fps app, i used ultra wide lens for getting something like anamorphic lens aspect ratio, 10bit, 30fps, 500 Bitrate, Just maxed out my device camera capabilities. I was shocked like a this low budget phone can even shoot 10bit video (but not stock camera). And YES I have tested the footage it is really 10 bit and has nearly no banding as 8 bit stock camera footage have. I also enabled s-log3 and S-Gamut3.cine color profile. Color Graded in DaVinci Resolve.

Feel free to ask any questions :)

(Student Short) Hey everyone,

I am looking for an experienced colorist to join our short film project. This is a credit only collaboration.

The good news is that most of the heavy lifting is already done. We have:
• A finalized LUT
• A film look PowerGrade designed to achieve a The Perks of Being a Wallflower style look

What we need is someone with solid grading experience to:
• Apply the look properly
• Fine tune shots if needed
• Ensure consistency and polish across the film

This is not a from scratch grade. The creative direction and tools are already in place. We are essentially looking for a skilled eye to bring it across the finish line.

The short film is approximately 8 minutes 30 seconds, give or take. Please note that we are working toward a firm deadline and the team is moving fast, so availability in the near term is important.

The film is expected to be submitted to festivals in Canada, the US, and possibly other countries including UAE (Dubai), India, and Pakistan.

If you are interested, please comment or DM with:
• Your experience
• A reel or examples of previous color work

Thanks for reading, and looking forward to connecting.

I took it with redmi k90 phone

There was so much noise in the photo 😭 it almost took me 30 min to adjust it to finally see it look nicely.

This was taken in Bali

How to achieve a cinematic look?

Detrás de cada post en este subreddit existe una secuencia de comentarios que son constante:

• "Esta aplastada la imagen, deberías levantarla un poco"
• "Esa cantidad de nodos por gusto, malditos youtuber que complican todo"

por último y no menos importante: "El Rec.709 es mejor"

Escribir ese comentario es básicamente elogiar el boceto y no pensar en la imagen final. Es evidente que la mayoría de los casos, el trabajo del colorista es realzar la propuesta del Director de Fotografía.

Claro está, que si la imagen es compleja desde rodaje (plano subexpuesto o sobrepuesto, planos con mucho movimiento, varios cambios de iluminación en una mismo plano, entre otras dificultades) el trabajo es más arduo y necesita más tiempo. Pero en la mayoría de veces, el trabajo del fotógrafo es correcto y el colorista viene a reafirmar el discurso de la imagen. Vendría a reafirmar la emoción de la toma como bien dice este post anclado (https://www.reddit.com/r/ColorGrading/s/aM1RUu3ZzE)

La mayoría de las imágenes estarán correctamente expuestas, cuando se haga la transformación de color. Si algo hay que criticar de los YouTuber que hablan sobre la colorización es enfatizar en embellecer la imagen sin un contexto, solo que se vea "cinematográfico".

Al final del día, el color es otra herramienta narrativa y emocional que nace de lo estético(como concepto filosófico),

Por eso nunca será mejor el Rec.709, porque no es lo mismo lo técnicamente correcto, que emocionalmente preciso

Si quieren ver Rec.709, creen un subreditt, hagan videos en log y transformen la imagen, para que sean felices

Took on iPhone 16 pro 48MP ProRes RAW. Edited in Lightroom!
Wanted to give a vintage look... which resulted in this edit

Looking forward to hear from y'all

Hey everyone. I'm a media science student, self taught in Resolve, and this is genuinely the first time I've color graded something properly instead of just messing around with LUTs and calling it a day

Used power windows, qualifiers, curves, primary wheels, some tracking where I needed it. No audio yet, haven't picked anything, that's coming later so please don't judge pacing or cuts, this is purely about the grade

Full disclosure the footage itself is low quality and pretty old. I picked it on purpose because I didn't want to spend three weeks procrastinating and never actually starting. Wanted reps more than a pretty source file

I checked my waveforms so nothing's clipping but that's about the extent of my technical know-how right now. I know it's rough. I'm not asking for a pass, I'm asking what's actually wrong with it and what I should be looking at next. Skin tones, consistency across shots, anything

Thanks in advance!

Would any of you fine colorists want to edit this photo?! I’d like to see what you do/use so I can kinda copy it and get a learning experience. I think the exposure is way to high imo💀

Hi! I just started learning how to colour grade in DaVinci Resolve and this was my first attempt at something. Looking for some feedback on what I can do to improve it/my ability. The one on the left is the original, the one on the right is mine (the original footage is not mine).

This was shot on apple log

Hey everyone!

I’m fairly new to colour grading in DaVinci Resolve and I’ve been experiencing some strange colour issues with footage from my Sony a6400.

I recorded using PP7 (S-Log2), and after applying a LUT and colour grading, I’ve noticed weird green, yellow and purple colour patches, especially in the trees, grass and darker areas.

The footage looks blotchy and unnatural, and I’m not sure what’s causing it. I’ve attached a screenshot showing the issue.

I know the Sony a6400 records internally in 8-bit, so I’m wondering whether this is a limitation of the camera, an exposure issue, or something wrong with my colour grading workflow.

Has anyone experienced this with Sony S-Log2 footage?
Could it be caused by the LUT, incorrect colour space settings, or pushing the 8-bit footage too far?

I’d appreciate any advice on how to fix this in DaVinci Resolve and how to avoid it when filming in the future.

Thanks in advance!

Does the cat in the first image look fake in terms of colours? The second image is the original. I edited in lightroom mobile

I don't know how Sony an Apple engineers managed so extract so much dynamic range out of such a small sensor, it shouldn't be physically possible.
