This 2-day online workshop is designed for filmmakers, digital content creators, and cinematographers who want to learn basic imaging workflows and color science for modern filmmaking. Guided by an experienced Colorist and Color Scientist, the class will examine camera choice and its impact on the imaging workflow, the basics of capture from codec and resolution to color gamut, on-set monitoring, and color management, LUT (Look Up Table) generation and application and content delivery.
We will focus on the basics of digital capture and how choices made in pre-production influence and shape the post-production color process. We will explore the basic technical aspects of imaging science and their importance to a filmmaker’s understanding of their tools, how they influence the images captured, and how they can be utilized to streamline the post process and better serve the story.
Sessions will feature lectures, discussions, and case studies, with plenty of time for Q&A.
A basic understanding of DaVinci Resolve is helpful, but not necessary.
