“Ideal for current Resolve Colorists with at least a years experience or students who have taken a previous iColorist class or an online course like my FXPHD offerings. We cover advanced techniques using the latest Resolve software. Focused on Colorists who are grading Feature Films, Commercials, Reality TV, Documentaries and TV Drama.
A variety of different media formats will be used and the emphasis will always be on grading a sequence rather than individual clips.
The media used comes from a variety of different cameras, and is not always beautifully shot so more like the footage and challenges we face everyday as a colorist.
This iColorist virtual workshop is capped at six people with each student getting a media download link 5 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 number of small sequences. We will work through the timelines from start to finish considering the best strategies to get the job finished efficiently. You can keep all the class media, the lessons, projects and the screen recordings. Making it a great way to continue your learning long after the class has finished.”
