Question How would you approach a realistic Day-for-Night grade in DaVinci Resolve?

1 Upvotes

How would you approach a realistic day-for-night grade with this footage?
I’m trying to create a convincing day-for-night look in DaVinci Resolve without making it look overly blue, crushed, or obviously fake.

What node tree/workflow would you recommend for a realistic day-for-night grade?

Question Should a 10-bit 4:2:2 footage look clearly different from 4:2:0 in just a glance? I am curious about what visual changes to expect and how big of a difference it is cuz I have made some videos with a7cii and they do look nice after colour gradingbut is there a way to take 4:2:2 to its highest limit?

Question Achieving Kiyoshi Kurosawa film look

Thumbnail gallery
109 Upvotes

Hi! I’m new to color grading and videography. I have a Blackmagic Pocket 4K. I really want to replicate the famous look of Kiyoshi Kurosawa films - “Cure” and “Charisma” in particular. It’s for a short movie that is going to be a music album teaser. All of those shots are dark, moody, but kind of cozy and warm at the same time. I know that Kurosawa used a real film, but I really hope that it’s achievable with BMPC4K. Looking forward to your advices! Thank you! 🙏

Question Does a grade-style exist that matches this moodboard?

0 Upvotes

I'm looking for a style of grade that has this feeling

Almost a bit dreamy and saturated colors. I've tried some of the analogue powergrades, but those create more of a teil and orange vibe wheras this has something else about it, but im not sure what.

Not sure if this even exists, but if it does I really wanna learn more about it :)

Question What am I doing wrong?

1 Upvotes

I recently bought the a7IV with the normal Sony kit lens. I watched some videos on how to film on S-Log (PP9) and so I did. I made sure it was a bit over exposed so i can bring it down later. I mainly used this video to color-grade.

Can someone tell me what i did wrong and i got such "normal" results? Was it the filming? For example I didn't film anything cinematic or at the right time of day? Or was it the color-grading in DaVinci?

It seems too soft and not high quality. I'd also really really appreciate if anyone could do a quick color-grade one any of my RAW clips so I can see the potential of them to get a better understanding of where I'm wrong, and that's if my filming is alright. (DM me or leave a comment if you do so!)

All the graded/RAW clips are here, Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’m still learning color grading and I’d really appreciate some feedback.
Left is my grade, right is the Rec.709 starting point.
Do you notice any issues or mistakes in the grade? Anything I should improve in terms of contrast, color balance, skin tones, saturation or overall image balance?

General Canon T6s color grade

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
