This One Grading Secret Applies Color Theory in Films Almost Instantly

[@jobz9150]

This was the answer I have been searching for the past 6 years! For a person who makes low budget short films as a hobby, this tip is revolutionary! I never understood how a palette was created and how such palettes could be applied in a color grade. But now...my life has changed forever! Thank you so much buddy! Cheers! You get a subscriber and a like today!

[@monikworks2784]

same with me mate. i was finding the answer since years .

[@RyansCustomShopandGearOutlet]

I am colorblind, and I find your videos fascinating. Your description of the color theory is very helpful to me. It would be interesting to edit color to match what I see and then study how people with normal color vision react. A life with very diminished red and green distinction has been an interesting life experience for me.

[@favarettofilms8486]

The best colour grading video ever! I highly recommend downloading this video, drop in your timeline and analyse the whole video with the lumetri scopes, it's another great way to learn!! Thanks for this amazing tutorial!

[@kaysha]

Always learning new tricks with you D. What camera do you use to film yourself. I like the fact that the image is not too sharp. Or do you achieve that in post?

[@colorgradingcentral]

Thanks Kaysha! I use a Blackmagic Ursa Pro Mini 4.6K, no sharpening/blurring in post but I think the Canon L series zoom I use makes it look soft and creamy.

[@kaysha]

Color Grading Central aaaaah the good ol Canon L.

[@nebvision6839]

Denver! Just wanted to drop some love in the comments man. Love your course. I have the Davinci one. I recently directed my second music video and used the hue curves to take one of the scenes from just alright to looking pretty damn good by pushing the colors into a complementary color scheme. It’s Great to learn it, but it was even cooler to be able to experience it in my own work. Color really does hold a scene together.

[@colorgradingcentral]

Preach! I'm so grateful to hear you've implemented color design your films and expanded your creativity. Thanks for for the comment, it really means a lot and I'd love to see your project!

[@colorgradingcentral]

You're welcome! Happy to help!

[@renatozanardo9648]

Very helpful thanks. Now all we need is courage. Because it's easy to see what can do on another movie, but it's difficult to decide on own. The greatest difficulty is getting out of the mental schemes. I know that certain colors can be changed, but the scene would no longer represent reality, and at this point it is difficult to decide whether the result is more beautiful or less beautiful. Who knows the scene in reality, would you appreciate it anyway? This is why I can't get beyond saturation and contrasts. I do not have the courage?

[@jaideepkhare5903]

That's not the point. He's just letting us know about the tonnes of possibilities we have. Colour Grading is pretty subjective and we can, therefore, have a range of different opinions from different persons.

[@dm.b7560]

@@jaideepkhare5903 sure... I guess is just different ways of doing things, it was no a critic but a comment.

[@danlightened]

Well of course, the examples are from good films where many creative pros have decided what would look best for the movie or what mood does a certain scene impart. Changing that won't look as good. And why isn't trying to make it better. Just showing what can be done and how fast it can be done.

[@theEXOaudio]

truth, like what others said it was just a quick overview of how you can apply color theory. of course real color grading is a lot more complicated

[@joshlayton7388]

I agree. And it's because he's totally changing the color info in the clips. It's a very unprofessional way to achieve a "look". The right way to create a look is by lighting the scene that way. Then you enhance that look in the grade. He's totally changing the look in the grade which introduces noise and artifacts in the footage because he's pushing the footage too much.
