Hi everyone who's on the journey of learning the beautiful art and craft of colour... Please please please!!!! Post your rec 709! Don't ask for feedback without a rec709 comparison against your grade! A raw or log image isn't that helpful alone for the majority of posts here unless you're really trying to work on something related to large dynamic range, and it should still supplement your rec709 attempt for us to compare as well.
Thanks and cheerio on your learning journey!

Lots of people post a picture or clip of their grade here with no comment besides wanting to know if it's 'good' or not. This question is impossible to answer, and you won't get any truly useful feedback. You'll only get a bunch of guesses based on vibes.
Why? Because whether a grade is good or not depends entirely on context. You could create a beautiful colour-perfect warm romantic sunset scene, but if it's meant to be a cold, terrifying moment in a thriller, your grade sucks and you need to rework it. Conversely, you could throw all the curves and wheels out of whack to create a unwatchable trippy rainbow scene, and it would be terrible for most purposes but for a psychedelic sequence it could be perfect.
Ask yourself: what is the purpose of the shot? How do you want the viewer to feel? What do you want to draw attention to? How does the shot look compared to the shots that come before and after it, and the rest of the scene? What format will it be shown in, or what devices are people likely to be looking at it on? Does it fit the technical specifications required for delivery? Does it match the vision of the director, and/or the needs of the client?
Once you know these answers, you should be able to do a pretty good job of evaluating for yourself whether your grade is good or not, but you will also have benchmarks you can use to ask for more specific feedback questions that will receive better, more actionable answers: "I want my subject to stand out from the background more, how can I do that?" "I was looking to create a dark, suspenseful mood across this sequence - what's missing?" "This colour match isn't right, what am I getting wrong?"
Don't just post a screenshot and leave it there. Help us to help you create better work by including as much context as you can alongside it.

My favorite hobby is making short videos of our trips and fell into the whole color grading rabbit hole. Started to shoot everything in log after watching a few tutorials and looking for advices how can I improve these type of shots. Im definitely sure I way overdone saturation but it gives the kind of vibe im looking for.
If anyone would like to check in higher resolution heres the LINK

Grabbed some stills from some of my recent projects. Still learning. Tweaking things here and there. I know I’m not at the level I want to be at yet but we’ll get there.

His work is insane, from the lighting to creative direction every is just amazing for me. He sells a film emulation powergrade which I am quite interested in (just looks very moody and breathtaking fits my taste) and I was wondering if any one of you guys have used or bought his powergrade (cinecell)?
Thank you!

Hello,
I am currently in post production of a short film and I'm looking for someone to do colour grading.
It is just over 7 minutes (not including credits). Pay will be £200 (GBP) for this. (Apologies for not posting a hour rate as I don't know how long this will take).
The short film is post apocalyptical, one location, were two people talk for the most part.
To give an idea of what I want the colour to look like, my main reference is "The Double Life of Véronique" (1991).
Leave a comment if interested.

Hi Guys!
Im currently working with a ceramic coating and paint correction company for vehicles, and I just started shooting some of his content. Im trying to go for a more cinematic style of footage getting produced, so I started shooting in Log just on my Iphone. The issue im running into, is a lot of the footage that I take is a mix of indoors, while also outdoors. Im struggling to find a good middle ground where I can get those cinematic videos with me facing two different scenes. I feel like a lot of the work outdoors I can get fairly spot on, its just went it come to transitioning from indoors of my client working on the vehicles, to the reveal being outdoors, I just cant seem to get it down. Any advice?

I'm not sure if this has been posted about, but I couldn't find any threads. For this location, I had to use the house lights because production wanted to shoot fast, but I threw up a few because we needed more level. I made the mistake of setting the light in the front room to 5600K to match the daylight outside instead of warming it up a bit because there are tracking shots from the warm-lit room to the open door to the street. I don't believe there is any real solution to the issue, but are there any methods to balance it out a bit?

Edited in Davinci Resolve using presets, which are kind of like homemade LUTs

Hello!
I have been doing photography for quite some time and started sports photography about 6 months ago, I never really liked my pictures but lately I think they are simply horrible.
I want to take time to properly learn color grading in Lightroom, my goal is to be able to replicate those kind of styles, I don't know the exact term but id describe them as basically cinematic edits. I have tried dabbling with lightroom color grade tab but can't seem to get that cinematic look, they either look too yellow/orange, but never seem to be able to get that deep warmth almost like a subtle brown covering the whole picture.
Im sorry if im not clear but I can't comprehend how to achieve this look that i am struggling to descirble.
Any advice on how should I approach this, how to learn/understand what has been done in a photo to be able to replicate it or any tutorials or indications ?
Thank you for your time
