In this first episode of the Creator Battle, we put two professional colorists, Marco (Germany) and Chloé (France), through the ultimate torture test. They have to color grade cinematic footage in DaVinci Resolve, but there’s a catch: I’m turning off their viewports. They must rely entirely on their scopes and instincts. To decide who survives, we’ve brought in a legendary judge: Darren Mostyn (Netflix, BBC, Certified Blackmagic Trainer). From grading based on vague text descriptions to working while being blinded by strobe lights, this is the hardest color grading challenge on YouTube.
