Guided by an accomplished Colorist and Color Scientist, the class will explore advanced aspects of image capture and its influence on aesthetic considerations, camera options, and making the right choices at every phase of a film. We’ll examine imaging workflows, color management, the generation and application of on-set color assets including look development and advanced LUT creation, dailies workflows, VFX pipelines, post color, and deliverables. We will explore the multiple facets of digital image capture and finishing, and how it can be utilized to best serve the photography of the film, focusing on concepts that allow working cinematographers to better understand their tools and how they can be manipulated and managed to best serve the story.
Sessions will feature lectures, case studies, and discussions, with plenty of time for Q&A.
A basic proficiency with DaVinci Resolve and a familiarity with the dynamics of cinematography are necessary for this class.
Leave with a deeper understanding of how making the right choices throughout the color pipeline will help your work land with the impact you want.
