    I have been a video editor for years on Avid, also color blind as far as FAA is concerned, but the comments and way you explained the color was unbelievably great. I now am moving to Resolve and finding the learning curve is so helped by people like you. Thank you john R

    I actually learnt how colours and contrast work from watching art videos since there aren't many videos specifically about colours for film. This should be a great resource.
    BTW the art videos were pretty good too

    Hey Qazi,
    I wanted to thank you for all your videos, they have taught me so much about Resolve that I couldn't have learned otherwise. I've recently gotten a job working for a DIT on an upcoming netflix film as a dailies overnight processor and a lot of the workflow was intuitive to me because of what I've learnt about Resolve from these videos (which I think I've now watched all of them, some twice). I always thought I'd try to be a cinematographer as that's what I specialised at in university or try to become a colourist but I think now I'm going to be trained up as a DIT with a focus on OnSet Colour work in Silverstack XT and Resolve. I luckily made the contact with this DIT through a friend's family member's friend so a lot of luck was involved but I wouldn't have been half as confident in my skills in this role if not for these videos and have been able to quit my job as a bartender to go into DIT work as my career path.
    Wishing you all the best from here in rainy London,
    Joseph

    This is one of the most beneficial videos I have ever watched. Not only as an aspiring colorist but as a current cinematographer this gave me so much insight. This will pay off not only in post, but also in my preproduction and principal photography processes. You continue to share pivotal information. In my opinion, you are one of the top 3 sources for filmmakers on this platform.

    7:19 both are same but the green on left is perceived brighter because of an equally complimenting shade if yellow and the green on right is perceived duller cause it’s on top of a brighter shad of green.

  • @Norkei

    6:47sec, i think the B is more brighter because of the white outline which diffuse more light (?)
    - For the square, the right because of the outside which tend, for our eyes, to interpret the inside more brighter than the other square

  • @SHDEdits
    @SHDEdits 3 года назад +5

    Would be interesting to extend this video to talk about color weight. Where the weight of a hue is determined by how saturated the color is and how dark the color is, and that desaturating a hue and tinting a hue decreases it's weight (or how much attention it draws). For example the complementary color scheme is most harmonious with a relative weight distribution of 75% to 25%. And these ratios are dependant on the color scheme being used. These rules can be broken for a specific intention of directing attention more harshly or creating an emotional impression of a character like in that joker shot. Still interesting to think about none the less though. If specific ratios of weight in a color scheme is seen as most harmonious I suppose that could even be used to control the emotions of the audience, specifically breaking away from good color harmony to make them uncomfortable.
