Quote from my website: "It’s worth noting that I only use the native tools provided with DaVinci Resolve, and I don’t rely on any DCTLs or external plugins." - So it is 100% native tools.
Hey Stefan, I'm a beginner to color grading. Would you say this course is beginner friendly, yet advanced enough to give consumers a good understanding on how to grade without training wheels. At the moment I don't plan to become a professional colorist. However I want to be able to look at any movie still and understand the DNA required to replicate an image.
I strive to create content that is accessible to both beginners and professionals. This means that whether you are just starting out or looking to deepen your knowledge, my course is designed to cater to your needs. It’s beginner-friendly yet detailed enough, and you can watch me replicate multiple film looks using a simple node structure of 6 nodes. You can observe 'over the shoulder' as I color grade and "reverse engineer" multiple looks step by step. You can use the same footage to practice yourself, which will definitely lead to a better understanding of fundamentals like contrast, exposure, balancing an image, and creating a look. Plus, I'm always here to help, so feel free to reach out via email with any questions you might have as you progress.
The "Film Emulation" pack is a pack with PowerGrades and PDF user manual. The "Course" is a video course. Nearly 2 hours. With focus on "orange and teal" look. The course is based on the "Soft 2 Strip" pack which cost also less than the course... because it only includes PowerGrades and PDF, while in the course I go more into detail. Quote: "I will also provide videos on four different methods to create an Orange and Teal / Complementary look. I will explain the design of my node tree and share thoughts on look development." - And you can follow every step, recreating a look. With the "Soft 2 Strip" pack you might get the same "results" but you have to figure it out how to create that look. In the course, I will show you exactly how I did it. In videos.
@@StefanRingelschwandtner Ah Okey. I just bought your Emulation Pack and tried the Kodak Mono Film Emulation. I convertet from Red raw to Arri and in a second node i applied the lut. But it doesnt look like the typical film look. Did i something wrong? Is there a big difference between the Lut from Resolve and the lut from you?
@@sdsdsdsds7176 In my pack there are different LUTs included. One is inspired by "KODAK VISION3 200T Color Negative Film 5213". It is a neg. LUT which you should or can combine with the Kodak 2383 by DaVinci Resolve. In the user manual, there is a clear introduction how to set up the CST correctly before using the LUTs. The neg. LUTs in my pack (well, the "KD 5213" LUT) is very similar to the profiles from Dehancer or Nitrate. I don't know how you converted the material. With a CST? I don't know if you switched to cineon log or using neg. LUT or using the modified Version of the Kodak 2383? As I wrote...for all three LUTs there is a description in the user manual. You can always email me and maybe send a screenshot of your nodetree and share more information. Then I can give you a better answer.
Awesome 👍👍👍
Definitely digging into this 👍💥
SOUNDS GOOD
Do you use your Color Shift DCTL plugin, or just resolve native tools, for this course?
