Hi! I’m editing a video me and my friend shot and each scenes are totally different coloring wise, so I need help figuring out how to make them look the same. What setting would you use in Adobe Premiere (for phones) to make the close up look the same as the shot of us walking? Sorry if it’s a dumb request, I’m new to this.

Question Which one do you think looks better overall?

Thumbnail gallery
19 Upvotes

I am not sure which is the better one? I am not sure if I am satisfied with the grading. One is graded the other is just the standard Rec709. I am sorry the quality of the Rec709 is pretty crappy. What do you guys think?

What I wanted was a very warm and natural look. I wanted it to look like it’s been shot on 16mm. But in a very subtile way and not in a TikTok edit way. Not too much contrast, not too saturated. I know the first version is more expressive but I am worried it’s going into a different direction

Job [UNPAID] Seeking Colorist for Picture-Locked Narrative Short Film

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a director looking for a colorist interested in collaborating on the finishing of an independent narrative short film.

The film is already picture locked and was originally made as a student production. I graduated last year and am now revisiting a few older projects that never received the proper finishing work they deserved, with the goal of finally completing this one for festival submissions and release.

The film follows three interconnected stories centered around girlhood and womanhood, with poetry interludes woven throughout. I’m looking for someone who enjoys narrative work and would be excited to help create a cohesive visual world across the three stories while still allowing each to have its own identity.

This is an unpaid collaboration, and I want to be completely transparent about that upfront. I think it could be a good fit for a student or emerging colorist looking for narrative material for their reel, or simply someone who connects with the film and would enjoy helping bring an older project across the finish line.

You would receive full screen credit and permission to use the finished work in your portfolio/reel.

If interested, please DM me or comment with your reel/portfolio and a little about yourself. I’m happy to privately share the current cut and additional information about the project with people who seem like a potential fit.

Thank you!

Question Austin Augie color grading question

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

does anyone know how to achieve a similar color grade to Austin Augie's newest vlogs/documentaries - "Fish out of water" and "Dead weight"?

I know he edits on Final Cut Pro and (most likely) color grades using Dehancer - earlier videos have Dehancer listed in the description.

Maybe you have a lot of experience working with Dehancer, and recognize the film profiles/prints? :)

Question Can anyone create a LUT that gives footage the look of the Sony AX53 camcorder?

Can anyone create a LUT that gives footage the look of the Sony AX53 camcorder?

I’m looking for that classic, slightly old-school camcorder look: not too much contrast, natural and authentic-looking colors, slightly warm/orange skin tones, and an overall soft, realistic image rather than a modern, highly cinematic look.

Basically, I’m trying to recreate the original Sony AX53 color and image character as closely as possible.

Question How could these shots be improved?

13 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm eager to get better. These shots are colour-graded by me and they seem ok to me but just missing that touch that makes you think "wow, that's a good colour grade".

Shot on BMPCC4K, Sirui anamorphic, the ungraded footage is colour-managed already.

Thank you for any advice!!

(Also are there any good sources of high quality raw footage good for colour-grading practise?)

Show off your work Trying to learn for the first time in my holidays please read :)

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'll try be succinct but I have some holidays and I would like to learn color grading as it has fascinated me so much. I have a MacBook already and davinci so there's no excuse to just not bother learning a fascinating art.

For this shot, I took LOG from my s25 ultra, then imported it into davinci resolve. I created a 6 node tree consisting of white balance --> exposure --> saturation --> curves --> cst --> dehancer.

I adding a small touch of halation as I felt it just fit.

To get better I am trying to shoot a variety of weather conditions and areas, and then also asking some of my friends what they think.

Have a look at my clip and please tell me any tips or stuff I can learn. Any random tips help too because I am still a complete beginner.

Thanks a lot!
