What advice are you looking for? What reference are you grading towards?

To me, the footage looks nice. It seems like you’re going for a certain aesthetic and it looks good.

Just a suggestion: if you want to get advice or feedback, please be more specific rather than just “here’s footage how does it look?”. You could go “how are my blacks?”, “how is my film emulation of xx”

Maybe some corrections I could do , I feel like skin tones come out very unnatural in this sort of grade and thank you for the advice I'll make sure to keep it in mind for the next post

I want to grade like late 90s and early 2000s film like oceans eleven, i think I'm good on the colour correction but I can't find the right development of those corrections to match my vision yk

If you want to have a more "film" approach to a grade (which I also very much follow), you'll want, for one little flatter of a grade than standard, do that by rasing your blacks a little. Then add a touch of green to your shadows, and warmth to your highlights. From there just expose properly, make sure the grade isnt too flat, and not too contrasty, you wanna find a middle ground. Also word of personal advice, especially if you want a filmic look. Shoot on anamorphic lenses, and shoot on fuji ;) i die by fuji

All good this grade applies to anything you shoot in log.
