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.
TVC beauty type commercial shot on the BMCC. Great for doing very soft/mist type looks.
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.
‘House of Cards’ shot for an ACS workshop. This is a recreation of an original scene from the classic Netflix series.
A BMW fast cut commercial shot in various conditions on Alexa.
How many ways can you color a wedding?
Matching an interview sequence shot on a RED, BMD Pocket, Sony, iPhone 11. This is not an easy grade.
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."
