This week's live is covering questions around building your own film look, and the defining characteristics of film.
0:06 Introduction
3:27 In your last video you mentioned that mastering Look Development in Resolve
will lead you eventually out of Resolve. Could you elaborate on this?
7:20 Is it better to use the Hue vs Hue or the RGB mixer when doing film emulation?
12:25 Is it possible to create different schemes of split toning rather than teal in the
shadows and orange in the highlights?
15:52 When color managing REC709 material into DWG do you still set your pivot
point to 341 considering there’s no mid gray value in display space?
19:16 Is there a better way to create a washed look other than pushing the image
towards a single color?
26:56 Why don’t you use the middle point of the color warper to balance the image
or create strong washed looks?
29:02 What is a custom gamut in look development?
33:28 How would you emulate the colors from some high end cinema cameras like
Alexa for lower end DSLR cameras?
38:40 How do looks travel between cameras with drastically different dynamic
range?
44:06 Are neutral blacks a key element of emulating film? Do you often tint or correct
shadows at the shot level? If so, which tool do you usually use?
49:07 When creating a power grade or a LUT how do you about testing it to make
sure it doesn’t create any artifacting?
53:54 Have you ever tried to regrade a project that has already been released just
for fun or for practice? How would you go about doing that?
56:53 How much of the film look can you achieve in Resolve compared to more
sophisticated methods like scattered data interpolation or machine learning
algorithms?
1:01:19 Conclusion
