As soon I saw proper closed captioning, I mashed the subscribe button so hard! As a deaf hobby film editor I really need captions for tutorials and tips! Thank you so much for the CC.

[@zenabello6110]

I can't imagine how many hours it must have taken to color grade that whole movie. So glad it got the recognition it deserved! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@bien.mp4]

Most of the look was done in production. The only thing done in the “color grade” was kodak 2393 emulation and a few tweaks here and there

[@hassaanhre]

Honestly, I have never met anyone else on RUclips that can teach me how to apply all these looks like you do. Thank you for the work and keep it up!

Resolve definitely has the most powerful color tools of the 3!
