USE CODE: PRESALE1 for a $199 discount! Only 10 presale codes available during course production as I finalize some of the video sections. I will highlight aspects of working with less than ideal clips as well as beautifully shot footage. When you have a chance to talk to the director before a project beings, you can develop a look with test footage and shoot for the look. With great lighting: shadows, costume and set design help to provide interesting frames with good color contrast. However, as an amateur and beginning pro, we are often working with footage that needs to be "recovered" and corrected before it is stylized. Practicing with this type of footage is a great way to master the fundamentals. Once you understand color correction, you will learn how to "break the rules like an artist". This course is designed for beginner to intermediate level users, to gain a comprehensive grasp of color correction and color grading in Davinci Resolve, culminating with an introduction to look development. This program includes monthly virtual meetings for live feedback on projects. Getting actual direct feedback on your grades, node trees, and workflow after learning the foundation is the best way to accelerate the learning process. Ongoing updates to workflow and technique will be available in the connected forum. Resolve is always coming out with new features! All PowerGrades and Luts used in the course are included for FREE to download within. Some sections will also have example footage available.
