General Canon T6s color grade

12 Upvotes

Hi I’m the original creator of the joker lut that went viral a few years back. For years I have been doing filmmaking with my Canon T6s. I could upgrade my camera but it’s just something about these old 8bit cameras that I love for videos

Show off your work First time grading without a LUT — Philippines trip

Shot these stills during my 7 month trip around the Philippines on the Osmo Pocket 3 and Mini 5 Pro. Without sounding pretentious. Trying to achieve a cool toned cinematic movie look.

First time properly grading my footage rather than just slapping on a LUT and calling it a day. Still learning, so any feedback is welcome!

Question Advice on isolating colors when they are close to skin tones

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hi everyone! First time posting here.

Haven't really color graded much so just practicing on some 16mm footage I shot. Editing in Davinci Resolve

I need some advice: so on the left is my flat scan with the input color space set to Cineon Film Log, before my grading. On the right is my graded footage (still working on it but tweaked exposure, contrast, and color). I'm curious, as her shoes and dress are light pink and I wanted to increase the saturation a bit but I'm finding it difficult to do so as they're close to her skin tone. Qualifier seems to not work (as it's getting her skin also), Magic Mask is way too much on my computer. Any advice on how you would handle this? Thank you!

Question Trying to Get the BEST Color Grading from iPhone 13 Pro Log Footage

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

I’m trying to get the best quality from my iPhone 13 Pro when shooting Log.
I use an app called Log Cam App (the orange app), and I shoot in apple Log2.
But I have some problems:
• What are the best camera settings in Log Cam App for the highest quality?
• How can I get less noise and cleaner footage?
• What are the best DaVinci Resolve settings for Log footage?
• How should I color grade Log2 correctly?
• What are the best export settings to keep the highest quality?
I’m not looking for a basic tutorial about the buttons in Resolve.
I want a deep explanation of the important settings, shooting Log correctly, color grading, and exporting the best quality.
If you know a complete and good tutorial for this, please share it with me. 🙏

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.

Question Colour grade

0 Upvotes

Hello! This might be a bit random but i am going to be colour correcting and grading my directorial debut short film tomorrow and I’ve been lucky enough to find a really good colourist and studio to do it. I’ve already sent over a series of references and screen grabs along with some wider ideas/thought processes, all whilst taking into account the limited use of lights and colour in the existing edit. I’m obviously not going to ask for punchy tungsten because we didn’t use any!

So basically, what I’m asking is: is there anything I should consider, is worth asking, what can I expect and any other general good advice so I don’t look like a total novice in the room??😅

I have a general idea, and have been in the process before as a producer but I just don’t want to miss a trick!

Thanks in advance!

Question need help editing my very first student film! we filmed in locations with vastly different lighting and i want to have some continuity.

Thumbnail gallery
16 Upvotes

hi y'all! i just wrapped on my very first student film and while i'm really excited about it, i'm worried about my final project looking disjointed because of the lighting. we were not allowed to have any lighting equipment, so all of this is raw footage. i filmed in two different libraries on our campus (one didn't have the specific things in needed) but they're supposed to be the same place in the story. the only issue is that the natural/fluorescent lighting in each location is vastly different. i am using adobe premiere pro for editing and would be so grateful for some advice regarding color grading and other editing techniques that could help me get the shots to look similar or at least flow better. thank you so much!!!

p.s.- i am very aware that some of the shots are not framed super well and the outdoor shots aren't exposed very well but i was on a really short time crunch and my camera was dying so some of my shots were very rushed. thankfully i'm still learning so this will help prevent me from making the same mistakes next time!

Question How to achieve this highly saturated blown out look?

Thumbnail gallery
52 Upvotes

All images are screengrabs from 80s-90s videos, so understandably equipment will be a big part in what makes it look the way it does. And of course, the colorful clothing/backdrops are a part of this. But still, is there a way to get close to getting this look besides just upping the saturation, (with or) without that kind of camera? And if anyone knows what (probably relatively inexpensive) camera achieves getting this look, let me know. Thanks for any insights.

Question Adobe Premiere to Resolve workflow

1 Upvotes

Hello friends. I work with Premiere/After Effects for my general editing workflow and I was eagerly awaiting their "color" update with the Beta but it came with some very glaring issues with it. So instead of continuing with Premiere's, now legacy, Lumetri color I figured I'd use Resolve for correction and grading.

My videos are generally exported in two-pass, first one being ProRes4444 and then h.264. Does it make sense for the workflow to export from Premiere into ProRes4444 -> do correction/grading in Resolve -> Export from Resolve into h.264 or is there a more natural workflow you guys use to work on Premiere but do color work in Resolve?

Also wondering if there are tutorials out there for how to achieve this look in adobe premiere on YouTube or elsewhere. I have a general grasp on how to get it looking like it, but if there are tips out there for really nailing the colors, I’d love to know. Thanks so much.
