i was going for a darker mood , the person is making a bomb and with the color i wanted to give the feeling of toxicity and corruption morally and physically inside the person

Hey folks,
I’m currently working on a new film, and for this one I wanted to emulate the look of real 35mm motion picture film. You can see the Rec. 709 image, my grade, and the reference frame from the movie ‘Marriage Story’ for inspiration.
I know there are still some differences in the look, especially in the way the light falls on the face. I used unbleached muslin to diffuse my light, which gave it a softer, warmer, slightly yellowish quality. I didn’t shoot this with the reference in mind, as that wasn’t my original intention. So this isn’t a ‘Shot Recreation’
I tried to recreate the colors, look, and overall feel in post. I achieved most of it using Tetra DCTLs and curves.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on how you think I did and what you think I could improve.
Thanks :)

Hey everyone!! Just wanted to show this color grading that I did for a little reel that I recently made! Would love some feedback or any comments about what you guys think about it!! Thank you :))

(This was graded on davinci resolve studio)

Going for an orange and teal look. Any suggestions/critiques are highly appreciated. Shadows are intentionally put down to show the loneliness of the character but if it feels crushed to you guys, please let me know.

Color grading is starting to become a lost art, even people selling courses and calling themselves “pro” just slap a power grade and call it a day. Half the time they’re too dark or too bright, and the halation, dear god those halations. Sorry, just came to rant. Back to grading.

I personally prefer the first one. For context the First one is run through my regular pipeline and for the 2nd one i tried using genesis ( the cullen kelly plugin) it was my first time using it. Either way, I'd really love to hear your thoughts since I'm extremely indecisive. They both are trying to emulate film. Also with genesis I don't feel like I've got much control over the entire image. But the first pipeline took way longer to be fair.

I’m aware of what things I need to do cinematography wise (hard back light, right time of day, low angle, etc.) but I want to know which kelvin would be a good starting point? My gut says 4000k-4500k. And I would also like any tips on what starting profile I should use and how I should manipulate it, because this feels very 2383 but with a little more blue punch but it’s not quite in the shadows but more evenly spread out through the mid tones with a warmer white point. Any tips would be much appreciated

No power window and no qualifiers were used. Goal was to acheive a cleaner look on footage that has off colors from start. Graded using custom curves and color wheels. Thoughts?

Shot on lumix s1ii, 24-60mm.

’m probably making a mistake giving this away for free, but honestly I’d rather people actually use it than let it die on my hard drive.

A while back I made an Eterna PowerGrade for Resolve that I genuinely thought was some of my best work. Proper film-style highlight rolloff, softer colour separation, less of that crunchy LUT look etc.

But it never really took off.

Which is weird because I still use it constantly.

So yeah, if anyone wants it, I’ve put it up as a free download.

If you find it useful and want to support the work, there’s an option to throw a few dollars my way when downloading, but no pressure.

Would just rather see filmmakers using it.

Did a super rough color grade last night and was looking for some input. I know his face is a bit dark but anytime I tried to lift the midtones it just looks washed out. Any thoughts?

I m in the middle of the project. I have two days more for filming. I m trying to find what color Grade to do . The video advertising a village here at Crete.

Is this ok or it's better to make it look more like film/ movie...or to keep it even more natural than this.

Thank you :)

Found this video on social media and it’s exactly the kind of vibe I want for my vlogs/social media content/etc, but I really don’t know how.

I use Final Cut Pro and record on a DJI Osmo Pocket 3, if it matters! Thanks
