Basic tips I learned: 1) use a softening filter or diffuser 2) keep the camera steady for most shots and only subjects moving (most of the time) 3) typically zoomed in shots like 70mm ff eqv look more cinematic combined with 2nd tip. 4) forgot to say, it has to be 24 fps and only more if slowmotion is added 5) cinematic color grading can go a long way. ---there is many more techniques that create cinematic videos. But with just those you can do some very cinematic videos. As you get more experience, you will 100% be even better and it may seem confusing at first as with every other skill.
Honestly using diffusion or not is a choice made more towards what emotion or message or theme you’re trying to convey in ur shot or film, same for the rest of those tips
Me and my friend have been looking at cameras and film lately cause we want to start making short movies so this video rly helped for the beginning of our film knowledge
You're very obviously experienced, and all of your clips have 1 common thing: good lighting. Halation is definitely not in every movie, and it's never the answer to making things cinematic immediately. Good lighting quality and shape is far more important than halation. I'm not knocking halation out, I love the effect. It's just that it won't answer all your problems and it shouldn't be viewed as a solution, but more of an accessory.
I love the Halation effect in Resolve. You can also use it in combination with the Eye Dropper Selection tool to create a more evenly balanced dynamic range throughout your shot.

Cool vid, will be checking out that effect. FYI - Halation in films shot on film is often enhanced using filtration in front of or behind the lens during production. The choice of lenses and film stock had a lot to do with it also. As film stock evolved, one of the goals was to reduce halation as much as possible. So it became more and more common to use in-camera techniques and lens filtration to achieve a softer look. We use the same techniques today when shooting digital.
Halation was mainly due to lens choice and filtration, not film stock. Black pro-mist, glimmerglass, and even classic soft diffusion filters were all you really needed. And more recently, filters from Dream FX and Moment Cinebloom do really nice halation...all in-camera, without the need to fake it in post.
The primary cause of halation is the reflection and diffusion of light within the film's emulsion layers. When light strikes the film, it penetrates the top layer and can bounce around within the layers before being absorbed. If there's a strong light source, such as a bright highlight, the light can scatter and spread into the surrounding emulsion layers, leading to the halo effect. Red halation is caused by the scattering of red light within the film's emulsion layers, resulting in a reddish glow around bright highlights in images. This effect is due to the longer wavelength of red light, which scatters more readily in the emulsion.
Who is this guy that doesn't answer any comments?! Man, if you ever read this; excellent job 👏 Loved the kind of tension at the beginning. That intro was priceless!!!
Well I just learned something new. However in your tutorial the effect was so subtle I personally couldn’t see the difference in before and after. I do have a little bit of color deficiency in red and greens (affirmed by my eye doctor) so it could just be my eyes.
I noticed a bit difference in the first example, but didn't notice much of anything with the second one. I think your color deficiency perhaps makes a difference with the first clip because it's so much more colorful, and little to no difference with the second one because it looks almost black and white without the LUT applied lol
Great tip. Will try to use this on my next video. Not sure if it will work for talking heads style content but it's worth a try. Subtle things can set a look apart without the viewer knowing exactly why, which is perfect. Much appreciated.
Jim Rino ( impressionist artist here on YT) does this very well in her art videos. I did one of mine imitating hers and I was very pleased with the outcome.
Am glad your page was recommended to me, me and my friends are planning on filming a short movie next week in London cos we’ve always envisioned ourselves putting our art out there for people to see and enjoy. Seeing this has given me a good insight on how to make it feel cinematic
I think this one is the best grading process that explain exactly how to achieve those film colours that everyone wants in their video. Thanks Kay🙏🏼 Hope to win this luts as I’ve bought 2 days ago my Sony A7SIII and I’ve seen this luts work for Slog3 as well😍
i am still a beginner in color grading but i was able to understand what you said but how i can clear my fundamentals of color grading not just like this what is gamma etc but the main things understanding colours
It's more than just lighting. Motivate every shot. Don't waste any camera angles, don't have dead air between shots. Keep it tight, keep it motivated. Serve the story the best you can. Because, at the end of the day, story is all you have.
Been following your work since a long time and hatsoff to your work creative genius ! Best content creator i’ve ever known till date ! 🔥🔥 may you prosper more ❤ all love ❤️
I have been always wondering and trying to achieve the colors that are in your video. But thats too difficult. But i really like your storytelling and videos sooo much. Thankyou for this tutorial
Glad I found out about this account, very insightful tutorial! I'm always struggling with color grading myself, but this video will definitely help me fine-tune it more. Thank you!
Very good tip! I always love the film look but until now I couldn’t put my finger on exactly what is it that makes it so. This is a subtle but extremely important technique. Thanks for sharing!
Can you please make a video on shooting in low light? I have an f1.4 35mm but my low light scenes still aren’t very nice and even worse when I try to grade them. Shooting in SLOG3… everything I shoot after sunset is just looking off, even with artificial lights provided.
Super excited to see more tutorials from you! Loved watching your work and your color grading especially evolve over the years. Gotta make the leap soon and start to learn davinci
This is a great tutorial. Loved the intro showing how it is applied in real life cinema. You’re smashing the content atm Kay. Really love how the direction the content is evolving into!
Love it ! wanted to learn more about color grading and how you achieve that cinematic looking colors a detailed video will definitely helps a lot. you're such an inspiration Kay.✨
This is an awesome and very interesting trick. I only have a small problem, I think it only works when there are light sources or a big light-dark contrast (where there is a light source). Because looking at the examples that you put at the end, where there is fog, it is not appreciated as much or it even seems that the lens is dirty.
Basic tips I learned:
1) use a softening filter or diffuser
2) keep the camera steady for most shots and only subjects moving (most of the time)
3) typically zoomed in shots like 70mm ff eqv look more cinematic combined with 2nd tip.
4) forgot to say, it has to be 24 fps and only more if slowmotion is added
5) cinematic color grading can go a long way.

Thank you!
Using a softening/mist filter is too dramatic, anything that absorbs light will experience the "halation" - If I am not mistaken
Honestly using diffusion or not is a choice made more towards what emotion or message or theme you’re trying to convey in ur shot or film, same for the rest of those tips
nr 3 makes me sick. If you decide on focal length based on anything else than what is right for the story, you dont know storytelling.
the whole 24 fps is nonsense. your picture look and quality is entirely up to your design of your shoots
Me and my friend have been looking at cameras and film lately cause we want to start making short movies so this video rly helped for the beginning of our film knowledge
Hey Peter! Can you send me a message on Instagram to @justkay. You’ve won the Masterbundle :)

Yeah this is what stupid people think cinema is. 😂
Just to keep perspective, It's a part of the Grading Process. I agree that good lighting is essential during the Capture Process.
Thank you!!! Was exactly what I was thinking. This is a cool effect to use that is made possible by proper lighting.
Meh let the man have his clickbait. It’s a good tutorial and we all just tryna eat out here.
I love the Halation effect in Resolve. You can also use it in combination with the Eye Dropper Selection tool to create a more evenly balanced dynamic range throughout your shot.
What is the eye dropper, what do you mean
bro that take a leap of faith video on the website is fu***** INSANE !!!! OMG

Agreed with just using a filter. These techniques are great if you didn’t capture what you wanted. Moment cinebloom looks amazing imho
@@RohitNaikhalation sounds like subsurface scattering for film strips 😂
Loved how simply you gave a breakdown of the Halation effect!
This isn't just a video, it's an Experience 🔥
I wish there was a walkthrough similar to this for premiere. Your editing looks so amazing.
Sameee
Don't use Premiere for colorgrading
@@korneliusoderso premiere has same color grade as resolve.
@@masonsteffers true but it sucks. not bad really,but not as good as resolve.
@@masonsteffers no way, with due respect
Love that one bro amazing luts are incredible!
Really been enjoying a lot of your shots! Thanks.
Yes this helps a lot but most importantly is lighting. But also sound, composition, depth, contrast, angle, focal length etc
this was super interesting, nicely done
Thanks Chris!
This Look always catches me. Thanks for sharing. I will use this for sure
It’s amazing to use👌🏽
Who is this guy that doesn't answer any comments?! Man, if you ever read this; excellent job 👏 Loved the kind of tension at the beginning. That intro was priceless!!!

Super excited for what I will learn from this channel!
Justkay. Thanks for such great Master class
Amazing stuff. Thanks for the knowledge
Well I just learned something new. However in your tutorial the effect was so subtle I personally couldn’t see the difference in before and after. I do have a little bit of color deficiency in red and greens (affirmed by my eye doctor) so it could just be my eyes.
i have no deficiency in my sight yet in the second example i didn't see anything changing at all hahaaha

Your doctor lied to you
So in Love with the look of your movies and learning everyday to get better and get better results. It’s a long journey ahead but I won’t give up!
I love your colors. I struggle to colorgrade and i KNOW it colors will help. 😀
Great tip. Will try to use this on my next video. Not sure if it will work for talking heads style content but it's worth a try. Subtle things can set a look apart without the viewer knowing exactly why, which is perfect. Much appreciated.
Amazing! I love how you use Blackmagic software and cameras to give you your fantastic look!

Excited to share them!
I’ve been saving for the Freewell ND x mist filter, for the halation effect. But this will work perfectly in the meantime 🔥
Thanks for the tutorial Kay! Been looking for the tutorial of the halation on YT and this is the best one I've come across so far!
whoaa, hw tf RUclips knew i needed this!?? T-T so good!
