Between color wheels, curves, and histograms it's enough to send anybody packing. And as a result most filmmakers rely on professional colorists to help finish their movie. And working with a colorist can be great, but you can't always afford to.
I have a new Skillshare class that's all about empowering filmmakers to learn the in's and out's of DaVinci Resolve and color their own work.

FOLLOW ME Instagram 📷: instagram.com/deanpeterson_ Twitter 📱: twitter.com/deanpeterson_ Website 🌐: http://www.dean-peterson.comHow to make your first low budget feature filmDean Peterson2023-01-06 | I learned jack shit about actually making movies in film school. When I graduated from college and wanted to make my own films I had to teach myself everything, learn from people around me, and make a million embarrassing and easily avoidable mistakes. There is so little information out there about the fundamentals of actually making a movie when you don’t have any money.
Over the years I’ve given "the talk" to so many filmmakers that's a nuts and bolts rundown of how to shoot a movie when you have no money and no connections. It’s basically what I wish somebody had told ME and would’ve helped me avoid tons of unforced errors in my career.
That’s why I jumped at the opportunity to make this Skillshare class that boils all that info down into easily digestible steps. It walks you through everything you’ll need to make your first low budget movie.

SYNOPSIS: Anne and Amir are an unlikely pair. Amir is an escalator attendant by day and aspiring sculptor by night. Even though he has never sculpted anything before, he hopes to one day fulfill his lifelong dream of making a marble bust of Charles Barkley. Anne comes from a well-to-do family and just started law school where she spends most of her days studying. Against the odds they decide to move into a shabby 300 square foot apartment and try to start a life together.
But things don't exactly go as planned. The combination of their small apartment, their threateningly charming neighbor next door and unexpected visitors from the past make them realize that maybe they aren't as perfect for each other as they previously had thought.
