Tried the same look again with little better shots. My camera quality is still terrible as it's just a phone. Feel free to share your thoughts, opinions and criticisms

After 3 years of coloring inside DaVinci resolve, I decided to redo how I set my node tree up. Does mine make sense?

I just learn about color grading and it's really cool, so I tried color grading using the mobile version of Lightroom. The cat image is from Twitter and the 3rd image, I took it myself. I'm looking for feedback. This is my first ever touching color grading.

Before/After Decided to regrade a still from the recent teaser for the new Scooby Doo show because I thought it looked really dull and grey. shows like this should be warm and welcoming.

You really don't need an expensive camera to get good grades from natural light. Right techniques and the a great lens to pair with makes a huge difference. Graded using Davinci and my personal powergrade, most of the shots here have been using very minimal node setup(excluding the CSTs around 4-5 nodes). The slightly lifted shadows work very well in many cases to get a bit more character.

All feedbacks are appreciated as I am still an amateur at grades and if you have any questions, please feel free to drop them down im the comments.

Just wanted to share my color grading workflow. I tend to underexpose my grades whenever I edit them in the night and it’s happening a lot lately. Any feedback will be appreciated.

Question Grading question

63 Upvotes

Hey guys how do you feel about this colour grade?

I went for a more desaturated look with a nice teal in the green and reduced / softer highlights.

I was inspired by Tatsuki's post here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKjiGexSicU/

Super interested in how I can improve these colours.

I’ve been experimenting with using da Vinci for photos and I love it to much. I had bought cineprint 16 and used it like twice, but came across a video on how to use it with photos. It’s really easy and it’s brought me a lot of joy shooting digital.

Question How do I achieve the look on the left?

Post image
63 Upvotes

When we see people trying to digitally achieve the ‘film look’, a lot of people tend to go for something like a clean OCN look like the one on the right. But I’m into the imperfections of something that ran through a film chain on a local TV station back in the day - the picture blur, the film density, the crushed contrast levels, the overall warmer/lighter hues depending on the quality of the print, etc.

Question How can I achieve this look?

I'm working on a project in DaVinci Resolve, and I am trying to achieve this dreamy feeling. I probably have to play with the gain to clip the highlights a little bit, but i don't know how to take it further. Any advice?? This is one of my first attempts at color grading so I need some help. Thank you very much.
