OVERVIEW

Please Note: Class price has been discounted due to the virtual nature of this course during COVID.

This is my favourite class. It’s creative and concentrates on how color correction can bring your movie or sequence to life. We will review film sequences, discussing how the color and mood have enhanced the film. You will learn how to create the traditional ‘Looks’ from Movies, TV commercials, and Music Videos. We will then focus on matching those ‘Looks’ not only shot to shot, but also how to apply the ‘look’ across the whole scene. We will work with different cut sequences, showcasing my techniques to get the best from each timeline. Here are a few examples of the footage that might be used in this class.

1. TVC beauty type commercial shot on the BMCC. Great for doing very soft/mist type looks.

1. A war sequence shot on Sony F3. It’s fantastic for a ‘Saving Private Ryan’ Bleach Bypass grade, a hot Jungle look, or the classic Day for Night.

1. ‘House of Cards’ shot for an ACS workshop. This is a recreation of an original scene from the classic Netflix series.

1. A BMW fast cut commercial shot in various conditions on Alexa.

1. How many ways can you color a wedding?

1. Matching an interview sequence shot on a RED, BMD Pocket, Sony, iPhone 11. This is not an easy grade.

1. A Courtroom scene shot with 4 cameras Alexa, Blackmagic URSA Mini, Sony, and GoPro.

I will also address how to deal with the different challenges presented by each sequence. Students then get the chance to do the same in a timed situation. Reviewing, class discussion and feedback is a major part of this class. It will simulate what a real grading project with clients is like. This will be conducted using Frame io for uploads and reviews.

Students are also encouraged to upload their own footage to work on and share with the class.”

"I really enjoyed the course. This is an excellent class for anyone seeking to learn interesting and creative ways to grade the different types of digital material. The course structure makes it very enjoyable, easy to understand, and gives you the necessary knowledge to stand out in this competitive industry. Warren inspires and motivates you to be a better colorist."

“Do you use the Resolve software, but need help with node structure, grading different cameras, matching, and workflows? If so this class might be for you.

This virtual class covers intermediate techniques using the latest Resolve software. It focuses on Colorists who are starting to work with clients for the first time and mixes software operation with real-world grading tips and tricks.

The ICA media used comes from a variety of different cameras and is not always beautifully shot so more like the footage and challenges we face every day as a colorist.

ICA virtual classes are capped at eight people with each student getting a media download link 7 days before the class starts. Students are encouraged to share their own material so they can get individual feedback from me.

This class is designed around a small-conformed sequence. We will work through the project from start to finish considering the best strategies to get the job finished efficiently.

OVERVIEW

Please Note: Class price has been discounted due to the virtual nature of this course during COVID.

“This class is an excellent introduction to coloring with DaVinci Resolve. It is ideal for first-time users and you do not need any experience to attend. It’s true you can search through free YouTube clips and probably get started, but it is very important when learning any software to learn the correct way from the beginning. It will lay a great foundation going forward. So if you want to learn from a professional colorist with 30 years of color experience and 15 years on Resolve, then this might be the class for you.

ICA virtual classes are capped at eight people with each student getting a media download link 7 days before the class starts. Students are encouraged to share their own material so they can get individual feedback from me. The class mixes the operational side of Resolve with real-world workflows and problems. The aim is to get you to a standard where you can color a real job. It is run at a relaxed pace, questions are encouraged and group participation is a key part of the course.This class is ideal for Editors, DITs, DPs, and Photographers, basically anybody with a desire to learn more about color correction.”

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

• Simple overview of the v17 Resolve software.

• Basic editing, how to build a timeline.

• Primary correction to change the color of the whole picture.

• Secondary correction to adjust a particular color.

• What are waveforms and scopes, how do they help us grade?

• 5 Power Windows. Learn why you use them, not just how to use them.

• Tracking Power Windows with the auto tracker.

• How the Nodes work, they are very powerful when used correctly.

• Key-framing both color correction and framing controls.

• Matching a sequence, where do you start?
