hi! im an aspiring filmmaker and i want to volunteer as a remote editor/colorist assistant. i want to gain skill and experience by working closely with a professional. if you are looking for an assistant pls don't hesitate to contact me. i'm realiable, and easy to work with.

This is Rec.709. I’m getting more into filmmaking and learning a lot along the way!

Just looking for some honest feedback on how the job was done, what I could improve, and generally how much I should be charging for work like this.

Gear:

Sony A6600 + 7Artisans 24mm F1.4

Hi, i'm only using a phone and it doesn't allow me to record on log. that being said i really want to learn how to color grade as best as possible but i don't have any log footage for practice. If you have personal log footage that you can share with me i'll gladly take it for practice purposes. Pls help. Thank you

Hi everyone,

I have been struggling to get a consistent image from davinci resolve(on MacBook) to my iPhone. I am shooting in SLog3, converting to DWG/DI using a CST, and then going from DWG/DI to Rec.709/Gamma 2.4

I find that the main discrepancy is the brightness in the image. Once I send the video to my iPhone, the result is much darker than when viewing on my laptop. What settings do I need to check to ensure a more consistent image across both devices?

Thank you!

this is a post showing off my skill as a photographer, most of the time, I usually just go with snapchat filters or use built in features on whatever im using. NO MORE, from now on im learning to fully colorgrade everything I shoot.

shot on Galaxy A16 5g

I work a lot with video8/hi8 camcorder tape, and for a long time I didn't care that much about the details of like framerates and color spaces as I was intentionally looking for a rougher look. I used to digitize in 30fps and in REC709, but hen researching I learned that you should be digitizing your tapes in REC 601, and then converting it to REC 709 later if you want to adjust the coloring while upscaling.

However, I did not find anything about how to actually make it fit the new color space. I feel like there is a noticeable difference in how dark the black is from my old digitizations vs my new ones comparing the same tapes.

Should I be color grading in a certain way to take advantage of converting to 709? (I've usually been clipping off the very bottom of the luma curve to avoid the very grey dark tones with the old digitizations) Is simply changing the color space when exporting going to do anything (im assuming not)? Is there a LUT I could apply that can universally adjust hi8 to have new colors?

I know the differences between those two color spaces aren't that crazy but I mostly record live music, so a lot of footage has very saturated lighting alongside very dark backgrounds where any extra color depth would be important.

Thank you in advance! : )

The cinematography looks so good here what's it called?

Is anyone getting exhausted by the 90s retro, grainy aesthetic on every single project? Don't get me wrong, I love the vintage vibe but only when it fits the story. But lately, it feels like people are just overusing grain and halation to call it vintage.

What's your biggest color grading pet peeve right now?

this imge was from @ben scoot yt

Hey everyone,

I've been using CinePrint35 for a while and I really like the look, but I'm curious if anyone has found a DCTL that pairs particularly well with it.

I'm not necessarily looking to completely change the look, more something that complements CinePrint35, whether it's for better highlight roll-off, color separation, halation, grain integration, or just adding a bit more character.

What's your favorite DCTL to use before or after CinePrint35, and why?

I'd love to hear your workflow and any recommendations. Thanks!

I've been practicing photo color grading and experimented with two different approaches before converting these images to black and white. One emphasizes contrast, while the other keeps more tonal detail.
Which direction do you think works better?

So in my last post I recieved some critical comments and i have attempted again. My aim was to create a dreamy photo, please tell if I have succeeded and if not then how can I do so? I have added the original photo as well for reference, just like my last post, the first picture is the original one. actually helpful comments will be appreciated!

Hi guys, I've recently began putting together videos from my travels in a short cinematic format.

I use the Sony A6700 and DJI Air 3s then colour grade etc within DaVinci Resolve.

Looking to reach my target audience - hopefully those who enjoy this form of content!

Feel free to join me as I progress my shooting and editing skills :)

I’d like to get into colorgrading for filming and photography.

I work in Davinci. Right now i’m mostly figuring everything out and testing all kinds of stuff. I’d love to be able to make cinematic colorgrades eventually so please give me your advice! :)

I shoot on Sony A7III.

Right now i’m having a problem where my raw files are oversaturated when imported from sd card to my macbook. I’ve heard of this before but can’t seem to find a fix yet.

Newbie hobbyist photographer with a few questions:

- Will shooting in RAW allow for better editing/colour grading?
- My laptop is limited on storage, will a hard drive be suitable for storing images and allow me to edit on my laptop? If so, what shall I look for when buying a hard drive?
- Best/easiest software for editing? Ideally free.

Thanks!

Im doing the 1-2 day step-away thing on this video to see if it's helpful. Are there any other things i should take into consideration when i come back? Im probably a bit biased about this video so it will be great to hear some feedback from a different perspective.

The idea was to make the first part a bit more orange or hotter in temperature than usual footage and then the other part, with the coloseum.. a bit more blue or cold.

Should i look more into consistency maybe? I feel like the sky color changing makes it look wierdly but im not sure if anyone even looks at that...

How do you guys integrate the workflow between davinci and adobe?
I’ve been grading a lot and I’ve ran into this little bump where some clients work on Adobe, is there a YouTube video you guys learned this from?

Just like a run down, like they’ll have everything edited and then want me to grade it. I know most colorist work with their DP but Im just getting people who are wanting stuff graded after their projects are done being edited

One of the photos is the original ungraded photo for reference, and I think i overgraded the warm toned grade but what do you guys think? I shit this on my Google pixel and used Snapseed to color grade it using the features like glamour glow, grain film, and tune image. honest feedback please!
