Can i just say i have been grading for 7 years now using resolve and its the only tool i know, I am trying to get into a post house however the obstacle I have had is that training on Baselight or Flame tools is needed so it's nice to see that a huge company that did the Joker movie 2019, Games of thrones and other hugely known projects are using DaVinci Resolve.
@@stedieduvie both Joker films were graded in Resolve, Jill Bogdanowicz did it, she has been using davinci since the 90s. She graded thor love and thunder as well, which is basically the first shot in Davinci Resolve demo reel on their website.
Amazing you had access to interview such a guru…basic camera work like a dedicated mic and a fixed manual exposure instead of auto would have made such a difference🥲
Because that's what they want. Colorist only give the client what they ask for. If the director/DP/cinematogrpher wants it to look like that, that's what it looks like.
The way a film is colored is dictated by the story, the director of photography, and the director. 90% of the color is captured in camera by the lighting chosen to light the scene. Take "John Wick 4" for instance. That film is graded entirely based on how it was lit on set. The grade just nudges that look further into the territory the DP, director, and lighting department wanted. "John Wick 4" is unapologetically digital and the "cinemtic film look" we're used to seeing in most films was completely thrown out the window. Blacks are BLACK. Contrast is pushed hard. It's a beautiful rendering of digital cinema. Then look at Robert Eggers "Nosferatu". It's cold and desaturated giving the look of old black and white silent films but with muted colors and a neutral color palette evoking that golden era of film. The job of a colorist is to nudge the look the filmmakers had in mind when creating the film all the way to back pre-production. Here and there they have to completely change the look because the DP and director couldn't get the light or the look they wanted in camera and they need the colorist to create it. Other times the director just wants to create a cool look which is why a lot of horror movies are so dark and often times colored blue, gray, or even green with classic film split-toning. And not to forget, colorists make the footage look good in every final colorspace from the theater, to a television, a DVD or Bluray, to a streaming platform, to a cellphone or tablet, SDR (1080p), 4k SDR (2160p) and 4k HDR (2160p and up). It's tough to juggle the same look across different screens with different colorspaces.
@ I just did an eye test and saw the trailer for Superman on an IMAX dual laser screen. Superman was graded by the head of Company3 and people look like they’re seasick.

They run baselight systems as well. Joker and a number of other titles were done in baselight.

this is one of the most insane color grading videos on RUclips no questions asked
So interesting. But such a shame about the poor audio and camera work.
Great insight thanks for sharing !!
This is great stuff, thank you
😮
Why colors today movies are so yellowish or greenish ?
There is no accounting for bad taste.

The correct answer is that today's movies are not all yellowish or greenish and that you need to calibrate your TV or see an ophthalmologist.

this'd be a whole lot more valuable without the clueless dudes having bro spend time on their questions.
