We will review film sequences, discussing how the color and mood has 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.
“I really enjoyed the course. This is an excellent class for anyone seeking to learn interesting and creative ways to grade the different type 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.”

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.
2. 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.
3. ‘House of Cards’ shot for an ACS workshop.This is a recreation of an original scene from the classic Netflix series.
4. A BMW fast cut commercial shot in various conditions on Alexa.
5. How many ways can you color a wedding?
6. Matching an interview sequence shot on a RED, BMD Pocket, Sony
iPhone 11. This is not an easy grade, trust me.
7. 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.”
