3 Levels of Bleach Bypass: How to get the Look in Davinci Resolve from easy to complex

[@73Filmworks]

So far this is the best, most technical channel I've found on KZbin for color grading. Keep it up dude! your really filling a gap in the market.

[@BarrettKaufman]

Thanks! Glad it's helpful

[@Jordan_Greenough]

Brett Varvel! I took a filmmaking class with him and he's so incredible to work with!

[@BarrettKaufman]

Nice!

[@plotcoalition]

Another fantastic video! Your description of how it works on film was easy to understand and a new piece of knowledge i didn't have before! Keep it up, man!

[@BarrettKaufman]

Thanks!

[@juriesenekal]

Hey man... good to 'discover' you channel. What I liked was the 3 levels approach. Knowing what it is at its core is great bur then to be able to level it up so to speak is great. Subscribed!

[@BarrettKaufman]

Thank you!

[@oliveiradavid]

This is the best explanation on this subject I've ever found here! Thanks!

[@BarrettKaufman]

Sure thing!

[@cinematic_monkey]

I used to get bleach bypass by overlaying a black and white copy on top - in overlay mode. Wondering if it could give nice results in resolve. Love your channel. I'm working in post production for many years, but mostly in the VFX, less in grading so I would very much apreciate a basic tutorial on a modern colorist workflow within davinci wide gamut - I'm stuck in arrilog to rec709 workflow...

[@prefectdays]

Really appreciate your content and hope you produce more. Your videos help me a lot

[@BarrettKaufman]

Thank you!

[@danielortegamacke9626]

Very good explanation here! :-) I just discovered your channel, and because of 2499, I just realized that you might be a member of Motion Image Mastery too. :-)

[@BarrettKaufman]

Welcome! Glad the video was helpful

[@velvetsound]

I tried the Arri Log 4 Bleach Bypass Look LUT approach too from another channel and liked that too. These look nicer. Like this tutorial, I keep coming back to Dehancer + Scatter, and then shooting source material more cleanly being what I want to settle on….

[@BarrettKaufman]

Nice!

[@O.W_Films]

Thank you

[@BarrettKaufman]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@guyjinpop]

interesting I've seen this process done by using layer mixer node with a hard light composite on the bottom node. would there be any reason not to use that and doing it linearly like you've done? Very cool explanation.

[@BarrettKaufman]

I've tried the layer mixer method as well, but prefer the added control that this method gives. It allows you to separate out the contrast and saturation adjustments

[@RaitisPetrovs-nb9kz]

Well this is kind of simplified version traditionally is done with layer node setting it up as black and white and then managing pass trough with opacity which would be the equivalent to reintroducing silver back in to the film

[@BarrettKaufman]

That method can work, but IMO it lacks the level of control and nuance I'm looking for when building a look

[@RaitisPetrovs-nb9kz]

@@BarrettKaufman interesting about lack of control

[@juliiskandarz]

I really like every single of your video, the explanation is clear. But one thing that not clear yet, that is the decible of your audio, I think you should turn up more gain of dB, because 30% volume on the other video is 100% volume on yours. Thanks

[@BarrettKaufman]

This is helpful! Thanks for letting me know I've been testing out a couple different ways of processing the audio and I need to take more standard approach

[@mikoajtwardowski9310]

Hi, great video, thanks! Is the creative look LUT from level 3 available somewhere? (I think you called this vindictive v1) I'm really digging it :)

[@BarrettKaufman]

Thanks! It's a custom LUT I built for a project and not publicly released anywhere

[@mikoajtwardowski9310]

@BarrettKaufman Damn 😞 It looks great. Would be cool to play around with it, but I understand where you're coming from.

[@nurtay]

i love this channel

[@BarrettKaufman]

Awesome! Glad it's helpful

[@aybee5908]

Oh. So far I had the opinion, that Bleach Bypass is an developed overlay of black and white and colour film. Or did I get something wrong? Also in DaVinci I use a monochrom overlay. Works perfect.

[@BarrettKaufman]

There's an interesting article on my free resource page about the various historical techniques of bleach bypass. But it seems that the most common use is to leave more of the metallic silver in the internegative by modifying the "bleach" process

[@aybee5908]

@@BarrettKaufman Ok, thank you. I`ll read it.

[@zachkaufman5254]

Love it. 👏👏 Keep it up!

[@BarrettKaufman]

Thanks!

[@outdoorsinontario3037]

I’m surprised u didn’t use a layer node with the black n white layer in hard light composite. That’s how most people do bleach bypass but this is a kinda close result…. This method with the layer nodes creates more of that silvery look that saving private Ryan gets. But to each their own. There is literally 20 different ways to get bleach bypass. Even using a layer to actually skip the bleach!…. Which is like 8 nodes!… it doesn’t need to be that complex, but I like mine the most cause it’s fast, easy and looks fantastic. Hope this helps somebody out there… & thanks for the video.

[@BarrettKaufman]

Always good to have options! You're definitely correct that there are a bunch of ways to approach it

[@JimRobinson-colors]

I don't use Dehancer but can you not save a still like you have with the CST , that does start out with a default?

[@BarrettKaufman]

Totally right 👍🏻 I'll probably end up doing that

[@BANGBONSCHANNEL]

The last node in stage 3 of the bleach bypass process, is it similar to CST or something else? And could you possibly create a tutorial on how to properly make a creative LUT? Thank you, Barret.

[@BarrettKaufman]

Hey! Yep, that last node is essentially another method (like a CST) of going from "scene space" to "display space" And I like the idea of an intro to creative LUT design! That would be a good piece to release 👍🏻

The new Film look creator is sooo good. Just give the slider for bleach bypass a go and you're done!

[@BarrettKaufman]

I love that resolve is getting better look building tools! The film look creator is a good step in the right direction

[@reyvaz2951]

I know you guys love to make the keyboards sound, maybe it makes you feel, more professional that way, but when people like me, have to listen on headphone, super annoying. Small tip there, thanks for the video!

[@BarrettKaufman]

Thanks for the feedback Ironically a while back I actually switched to this keyboard because it was quieter than my last one :D I'll keep an ear out for it in the future

[@Saba_Demitri]

Hollywood secret sauce aka saucy colorist won't forgive you. Lol 🤣

[@BarrettKaufman]

I'm not sure I understand. Could you clarify?
