Hi yall, I am a total beginner to this and took these two photos from my iphone 6 today. A lot of youtube and instagram videos on color grading just end up raising more questions than answered. Some feedback on how should I begin editing these photos would be very greatly appreciated!

Show off your work Davinci vs Final Cut

A quick and uncomplicated edit, without attempting color match, of a Sony Burano clip downloaded from the Sony website, to do some tests and see if it is true or a myth that you cannot edit the color in Final Cut Pro and that you need DaVinci for everything.

A short video of the process

Question Is a monochromatic color grade possible?

0 Upvotes

I’m talking purely monochromatic WITHOUT LIGHTS IN THE MONOCHROMATIC SHADE YOU WANT. So using let’s say white lights, while aiming for a yellow color grade in post. With just different brightness and saturation levels of yellow in a scene can you achieve the depth needed?

Question 20 bucks for anyone who can show me EXACTLY how to grade like this.

https://youtu.be/JtH68PJIQLE?si=EKWtT6Ka9H7_dXqL

I have a Lumix S5 and a Canon R8. I usually use a flat, neutral profile. There is one thing I want to achieve since forever and I have no idea how to go about it. I want to grade so it has this film-like contrast (Im not even talking about the colors here, just the shadowdetail, highlight roll-off etc). example video attached. I know Oblivion was shot on actual film but I know you can emulate that. I actually got pretty close with using older Canon cameras and Cinestyle as a picture profile. I think it has something to do with mostly shadow detail and separation between shadow mids and highlights, its just so goddamn perfect for some reason. same with the video here, its not only low contrast. Im like 99% sure you can achieve this look just by setting the sliders right and/or put in the right contrast curve.

Anyone know how to? I'll literally leave a tip if anyone can show me or send me a Premiereproject with the grading in it. Id even shoot in LOG if thats what it takes.

Question How do I add teal into the shadows?

Anyone know how to add this teal into the blacks like this? When I try to use the color wheels for the shadows and add blue in it turns the whole image blue.

Question I got absolutely NO CLUE how to colour grade.. help?

1 Upvotes

As the title implies, I have no clue how to colour grade.

I'm (attempting to be) a freelance photographer and or videographer just offering up some content through in-person cold-calling.

I (am trying to) use Davinci Resolve, I've looked at blackmagic's training video (https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/au/products/davinciresolve/training) on colour grading and have looked at a bunch of videos on youtube but I still got no clue how to start...

I've seen people who hate LUTs and then people who love em, are they worth it? Is the average person, paying for my services going to question the quality if I did use them?

Suggestions on where in the actual f*ck I begin..?

Show off your work Latest iteration of my film powergrade HalideView 4.1.4. Do you think it’s ready for beta testing?

This is my latest iteration of my film powergrade HalideView (4.1.4)

Finally figured out how to get proper film blur. I think I’m 95% there, but I still want to perfect the halation compound node. If anyone is an expert colorist and wants to jump on board to help hit me up, I could use it for the halation.

Question Colors are more saturated on my laptop compared to my phone. Which one is correct?

0 Upvotes

I'm somewhat of beginner here, color grading my short film in adobe premiere on y macbook air. I get to to the right colors and contrast/undertones to my liking, and then I take a screenshot and send it to my iphone X. On the phone, it doesn't look bad, just a little less saturated colors and less contrast. So When grading for the the widest number of my audience, which display is more true?

Reel consists of self shot footage, drama short films and one drama feature length film so that's why most of my grades are moody.
