In a surprising turn of events, Full Time Filmmaker unveils his color grading secrets in a spur-of-the-moment tutorial. He lets slip about his secret weapon: a free LUT available for download, claiming it as the key ingredient to his cinematic visuals. The maestro recommends Da Vinci Resolve for editing, while giving a nod to colorist Jake's crash course for those seeking a deeper dive into the art of color grading. Armed with Sony FX 3 footage shot in SLog 3, he delves into the intricacies of node-based color grading, breaking down the process into correction, grading, and final adjustment stages.
With a deft hand, Full Time Filmmaker transforms the color space to Rec 709 and deftly tweaks the HDR settings to achieve a more natural and visually appealing look. By skillfully adjusting the primary wheels and layering on the LUT, he elevates the image to new heights, infusing it with a touch of magic. The meticulous fine-tuning of skin tones and the application of an S curve for contrast further enhance the cinematic quality of the footage. To add that final flourish, he introduces film emulation, bloom, and grain, imparting a professional sheen to the visual narrative.
In a masterstroke, Full Time Filmmaker introduces a radial blur, a secret weapon in his arsenal that draws the viewer's gaze to the heart of the frame, creating a captivating visual experience. The end result? A breathtakingly cinematic image that captivates and enthralls, showcasing the power of skillful color grading in transforming raw footage into a work of art. For those hungry for more advanced color grading techniques, Full Time Filmmaker points them in the right direction, promising a world of possibilities for those willing to explore the depths of color manipulation.
