Kodak 2383 Film Look - Re-Grading YOUR Footage

[@NicolasLunaFilms]

I've been a colorist for years now, but definitely the way Qazi simplifies nod tree structure and grading pipeline has helped me exponentially. I cannot express how much this how helped my day to day workflow.

[@NicolasLunaFilms]

Also, a lot of tutorials seem to talk to their audience. With these videos that certainly isn't the case.

[@theqazman]

Let's go my dude. 💪🏾

Great job. But Jack has got that film Contrast look. Especially the roll off between high and low in the tonal range.

[@theqazman]

I liked his look but brought more attention to clients needs in my version. At the end of the day it's not what you like it's what the client wants.

[@hansmills2982]

@@theqazman True. I literally experienced that yesterday. They wanted the image brighter.

[@jackieronimo8112]

Yooo Qazi thanks for the shout out and giving another look at these clips. Love what you were able to do with them!

[@theqazman]

Of course, bro. Thank you for the footage. Great job on the color.

[@brady_ackroyd]

This channel is unlike any other. Quality content, engaging topics, and a professional colorist who is confident and likable. It makes me happy to see this channel is doing well. Great Job!

[@theqazman]

Appreciate you saying this. ♥️

[@tommwaw]

Ugh.. paid/subscription plugins? Are you sure it can't be done the regular way? I mean, you've been fully using only tools from Resolve in most of your videos so far. Would there really be that much difference if you used your older techniques?

[@DasMica]

I'm more and more interested in learning how to color grade, so I'm very happy to have found your channel. Since everyone seems to do everything differently, I'm concentrating on your input to learn for now, since its the easiest to understand and I feel like you know most about what you're doing, so thank you! Still finding everything hard though. I'm capturing a lot of livemusic with a lot of harsh backlights and changing colors and color temperature, so I'm not really sure how much I can trust the scopes, especially the vectorscopes. Just throwing in a topic-wish, it'd be awesome if you could address concert-correcting and grading at some point!

[@theqazman]

Great suggestion. Fill out the form in the description and send me some footage. Let's make it happen.

[@joshpickup2581]

Jack's look is 🔥 - look at the subtractive colour look in the sofa

[@unn4medfeel1ng]

Jack actually did a great job too, especially if he graded without plugins

[@theqazman]

He did but grading without plugins is no nobility. Hollywood looks are loaded with plugins and tailormade tools.

[@PipOz999]

I'm growing with every lesson you share. Thank you, Waqas!

[@theqazman]

Happy to help.

[@jvke.p]

Nice stuff brother. Yes, resolve has plenty of tools that can get the job done, but plugins make it so much faster and easier and offer tons more flexibility.

[@philippscheithauer]

Haha bought look designer due to your recommendation and pretty much use it on every project. such a good one

[@jvke.p]

@@philippscheithauer it really is! I know it’s paid but you gotta be willing to invest in your craft

[@theqazman]

Exactly. Never worked at a post studio that didn't have every plugin under the sun. And thank you. ♥️

[@sashazephiria3869]

Definitly my fav series from this channel :D I'm glad it's back !

[@theqazman]

Thank you. Me too. 😀

[@ilyzace]

Great tutorial as always Qazi! could you do a video breaking down the look from netflix’s ‘Top Boy’?

[@theqazman]

thanks and I’ll look into it.

[@aguschar1]

Next time you start saying that you will use a 499$ software like look designer

[@mishukx]

Like the changed presentation style. BRAVO

[@theqazman]

Thank you.

[@cjkalandek996]

In my opinion, one of the best-looking movies in Kodak 2383 is _Star Wars: The Force Awakens._ In terms of the lighting and cinematography, that movie was gorgeous. And the Kodak 2383 look was just the icing on the cake.

[@theqazman]

The force awakens looks delicious and I do agree with you.

[@sufy.r]

The quality and value 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@theqazman]

Thank you.

[@ziqmahn]

[@ekphotography]

Did the client ask if you could erase the paper clip holding his pants up? LOL And wish you used no plugins, especially one that cost over a $1000.00 (FilmBox).

[@jackieronimo8112]

Haha we ended up not actually using that shot in the final edit for that exact reason. I offered it to Qazi just so he could take a look at the scene from multiple angles.

[@Mulnader]

Qazi is there a big difference between Halo Lab from Colourlab and Filmbox? Could you please share your experience and elaborate your thought process?

[@heyshepard]

thanks so much for this video. I shoot on Komodo so it's helpful to see your workflow for it.

[@theqazman]

Happy to help bro.

[@radioicer3374]

the davini is more than enough to achieve aesthetics without a third-party plugin that's for newbies

[@monkynutzuk]

And Isn't film box also crazy expensive?

[@meikmeiker2615]

In a cst Sandwich you can use it un hdr the filmlook luts

[@graemetowner7257]

did the client ask to remove the bull dog clip from behind his back...classic wardrobe trick !!

[@crimeapictures]

I have never used such a technique with a belt on my trousers

[@scumjason]

this is a fantastic vid, thanks dawg

[@theqazman]

Of course. 😀

[@StevenArzberger]

Qazi, please bring back another series of editing Sony 8bit high iso footage! These are the most problematic and difficult to work with :(

[@theqazman]

tons of content on that in my master class brother. Right now I’m doing a flash sale, so look into it check out the link in description.

[@IsThatYouSimon]

you should show the same frame at the end, because your's get more cold so more separation with the window in the frame. But anyway, nice tutorial, thanks man !

[@BlueSlateFilms]

Great video! Loved seeing your process. I have a few questions: In your project settings, are you using DWG for both timeline and output color space & HDR mastering for 1000 nits? Would the settings change if I were delivering the video for broadcast? Thanks!

[@Tonelf]

great series Qazi!

That's what I meant and it's assumed.

[@giddishanelli9021]

Wow. This is handy

[@guyjinpop]

I noticed you did your (IDT / ODT) or InputTransform via the CST ofx plugin. What process in the chain would you omit out IF your going via RCM or ACES ? Guessing the First and Last node. Does it also impact the settings for the other OFX plugins for colourspace selection.

i loved Brad Pitt in Flight Club

[@FOTOLOCO_]

Great colors!

[@theqazman]

Thanks

[@DethronerX]

While this is great work and a very good result, it's interesting, that digital is being used to copy film, instead of using it as its own thing. Now there are no rules that say you shouldnt, its the filmmaker and the client's choice, but the most real film look you can get is from shooting on film. Simple. You may spend more money and time, but the result is very real and natural and if lit and framed properly, it's the most beautiful thing in film cinematography

[@christofferbersau6929]

Flight Club my favourite movie

[@koushikbhattacharya832]

U r always awesome❤

[@theqazman]

Thank you bro.

[@jackko21]

How would you get that look that a lot of films had in the 70s, 80s, and 90s movies like the original christopher reeve Superman movie, the 1995 mortal kombat movie, 1993 hard target, or what music videos from the 80s and early 90s had like the music video for holy wars the punishment due by megadeth with that cool looking blue lighting

[@goransalah2380]

it was very useful

[@theqazman]

Happy to help.

[@sufy.r]

i have a question. if i color grade videos for social media should i use sRGb for the ODT gamma output instead of gamma 2.4?

[@Taran_Bali]

Would you take more footage for this series from any other DP? Killer content as always.

[@theqazman]

Of course. Link in the description.

[@flexpression]

Thank you ❤

[@theqazman]

You're welcome

[@smryt9728]

Wait Qazi why don’t you just use the Color Managed settings instead of using 2 CST nodes?? Im so confused, I thought they did the same thing??

[@amybella]

What settings would you recommend, to have colors punchy and contrast. Like how Samsung does it in their HDR TV without the cinematic look. I am not into the washed out look. Trying to learn this software.

[@blendertutorialdotnet]

I never really understood why to use third party plugins in a color grading monster like Davinci Resolve. Really can't do the same with the built in tools and with an ACES to ACES Kodak LUT? Or just wanna sell these apps?

[@WindNiksha]

I ve bee watching ur videos a lot and still can't figure out what is the best way to build the tree. Each time u r using different methods. ACES, look designer, simple CST, davinci wide gamut oh. So confused =( I m trying to find golden standart for my video grading but got lost

[@southhousestudio]

ohh man, again, this video should be helpful correct? And looks like without a payed plugin nothing will work. So what I need to do? buy a plugin to be able to follow it? I simply looking for clear explanation of color transform for Red Komodo - in/out especially on mac m1 and always there is something like - you need to buy this or that... Just my honest thoughts.

[@jerry4706]

crazy if you showed me either i couldn't give you a preference.

[@biswajit07]

was the client happy :) ?

[@Venecco17]

Great Video, i have a Resolve 18 and dont have the Look Designer tool? do you know why?

[@theqazman]

It’s a paid plug-in

[@jstories8600]

were to download look designer

[@GO2CUT]

Filmbox is great but it's sooo pricey. Does anybody know some Coupons for that? 😀

[@theqazman]

Working on it. 😀

[@PolyglotMonkey]

So far I only worked with they primary and log wheels... I don't know when to use the HDR wheels. Afaik you're only supposed to use them on 10Bit (or RAW) footage, since 8Bit wouldn't have the necessary color info anyways. But does it make sense to use them if my goal is to distribute the rendered result to KZbin, Phones, etc... How will it impact standard REC 709 displays?...

[@theqazman]

Said who? Don't listen to any clown that tells you when you're supposed to do what. 🙄 They make this sh** rocket science and it ain't. Follow my tutorials and see for yourself.

[@novembermans]

Currently working on my directorial debut here in Namibia 🇳🇦 and I’m sifting through DP’s and the look/tone’s, I’m a shooter as well but one thing I’ve always wondered is, it’s not “wrong” per se to use film luts like Kodak as a base on high profile projects like a feature film right? Like I don’t HAVE to use real film to use the look right? I guess I’m alluding to cinema etiquette idk

[@theqazman]

Shooting on film nowadays just does not make much sense or all big cinematographers and productions would be doing that. It’s a lot cheaper to shoot on digital cameras in log or raw and then you have all the flexibility in the world to do whatever you want and post.
