Introduction
Colour grading has become an essential part of post workflow but many colourists grade by feel without fully understanding the technical aspects of the grade or using the many time saving features and workflows that are available in modern colour grading tools.
This advanced course guides you through the creation of specific Looks for creative Colour Grading.
You’ll also learn to manage Colour Spaces to ensure proper delivery for Digital Cinema, HD broadcast and future UHDTV broadcast.
We'll teach you to leverage Colour Management tools for convenient conversions between Colour Spaces.
You'll also be shown different methods of generating Look-Up Tables for monitor calibrations.
The majority of the class is conducted with Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve while the calibration aspect of the course will introduce several other tools.
