Sometimes clients want a filmic look... but don't like any of the qualities of film (like split-toning). So what do you do to deliver that filmic aesthetic when you can't use film emulation or your go-to tools for creating filmic images? I'll be sharing what I've learned so far, including many ideas inspired from some of my mentors and favorite cinematographers, live at 10am PT today (January 27th). Hope to see you there!

For our last livestream training of the year, I'm sharing the 3 things that will most quickly improve your grading in 2025, followed by an AMA with whatever time we have left. I'll also be sharing a personal NYE story from a few years ago. Hope to see you there, 10am PT

*Tomorrow I'm doing a full live training on how professionals prepare their projects to get better color* β€” it's what gives us speed, minimizes problems, keeps us organized, and helps us deliver the better grades on a deadline than what other colorists can do.

These are the things that aren't often shared on YouTube, but tomorrow I'm going to show you everything in detail. Check out what we'll cover in the description here (and click to get notified when we're live): youtube.com/live/GREJA0lBBlg?feature=share

Hey all, this Monday for Grade School, I'm doing a full course on Color Management in 2024. This will be a professional-level training on color management, run in a similar way to how I run my paid courses, and I'll have a set curriculum with breaks where you all can ask your questions live.

There are a lot of color management videos on this channel, but it's time to give you one comprehensive resource that is completely up to date.

I'll be live this Monday, 10am Pacific. You can make sure you get notified here: youtube.com/live/JpRuQQ__-YA

Hey y'all, we're sticking with the new "live training" format for Grade School tomorrow β€” and this time we'll be going deep on my favorite topic (and one of the most important for any serious colorist): Middle Gray. There's a lot more to it than people realize β€” I'll show you tomorrow! Monday Oct. 7, 10am Pacific Time, here on the channel β€” come join us!

Hey y'all, tomorrow we're doing something a little different for Grade School. We'll be trying out doing things in a more "live training" style, and take a deep dive into one of the ways you need to be thinking about your images while grading, and show you how to translate that way of thinking into actually grading in Resolve. Come join us, 11am Pacific Time here on the channel!

Hey y'all! This Monday at 10AM PST, to kick off the launch of my new look dev plugin Contour, next week's Grade School will be a deep dive on look dev -- whether you're doing it with Resolve tools, LUTs, DCTLs, plugins, or a combo of all three.

(And if you haven't had a chance to check out Contour, be sure to watch the video I just posted, and grab a free trial at procolor.ist/contour-official)

Hey gang, a heads up that there will be a few extra uploads on the channel as we move over more pro colorist interviews to the main channel. Keep an eye out. Some you may have seen, some you may have missed.
