Qazi, what I appreciate about your tutorials is the fact that each time you show different ways to achieve the same thing- it's not a paint by numbers play-along. Just your free content alone can push a person into professional grading, I can't imagine what your paid stuff is like. As soon as I can afford the course I'm diving in!
Please tell me, I can't find the function, the shift of clips when transferring, taking it with the mouse, so that it doesn't cut off the clips when you want to insert a clip between clips on the timeline?
Ok, besides the fact that this is a much-awaited lesson, for low light, dark looks, I learned another golden trick - the zooming out to compare the grade with the reference. Sometimes I get too lost in the details and lose the big picture. Priceless! Thanks Qazi!
This guy is just legit reading his comments with his audience and replying to them and just keeping people connected with him. Feels great brother and I really appreciate it. You seriously deserve a sub!!
Dude, I just switched to Resolve and also in the process of finding a crack into the industry. Finding this channel is like a dream comes true. You're giving away for free what others are selling for tons of money. For that, I appreciate your work brother. You earned a subscriber!
Lot of people on here talk about it, you consistently show you are about it. Impressive production quality as always brother. The look recreations are my favorite. I tune in and check out your channel and get excited every time I see you’ve uploaded something new!
The other thing I have found that is absolutely brilliant about using this exact technique: you REALLY take control over the color space of your image. You can crank your saturation all the way, crush your darks and everything looks SO VIBRANT. There's SO MUCH DETAIL. It's fucking sexy as fuck. Thank you for making this, Waqas.
Holy s**t. I literally was about to suggest this on the FB group, got a load of screen shots to upload! Well done. Season 3 has some amazing shots in the future setting.
You got me to finally make the transition from Premiere to Davinci. Haven't looked back, specially with all this great content to help me improve my color grading.
I reckon this somber ambiance is more commonly employed by A24 and folks over at nife media. The obscure has evolved into something cinematic or carries that connotation-highlighting something significant while leaving the rest in shadow.
Ive watched probably half of Qazis videos and never really understood how to get the look I was wanting... (Also being new to resolve and not really understanding how nodes work and being a little overwhelmed with the tools work) Then 10 minutes into the video with some playing around I had a major breakthrough and finally f*cking get it.. THANK YOU BRO
Love this video! Loving FCM! The only thing I would do to finish this, if it were me, is bring down the cyan sat on the back wall a bit. Side by side, that was the only thing for me man....& I gotta say, I don't comment on stuff much, but learning what Im leaning is helping me find my "voice" in taste, confidence to talk about color, etc. So thank you for helping us become educated producers and less cynical consumers. Peace and Love dude!
Man, your color work is SO inspiring. It’s like magic in slow motion. lol I’m a motion designer by trade, but I’m doing a lot more creative editing for promos and I DREAM of learning the deep intricacies of color. I just don’t know where to start. You make it look so easy, bro. “👊🏼”
I doubt you'll see this since this video is 3 years old but I was watching through this and you mentioned that "the lighting is working in our favor" and I agreed heavily with that. Good color begins with good lighting (and art direction). I'd be really interested if you made a video that detailed how to light for a particular color grad in mind (bonus points if you touch on art direction). Maybe team up with a good cinematographer who you know.
Good video, but I think you may have to adjust your Gamma. In the shadows on her head and arm that's above her head you can see banding, and my guess is this wasn't shot in 8 bit so there should be a bit better gain banding compression. I could totally be wrong and I don't mean to take a shot at you, I just think that the darks could be cleaned up a bit better. I don't know what your input/output settings are set at though.
You're like a freaking magician. Every time I watch your videos, I'm like... how does he do that? Inspiring work, hopefully with enough practice I can become this good!
Man i know its sounds melo but, i really reaaaally want to say "THANK YOU"! Because of you i learn so much about color grading and the idea behind of that. AND BECAUSE OF YOU, I AM NOT A LUT B*TCH ANYMORE, T-H-A-N-K Y-O-Y!!!
Man, you just keep them coming.Thank you for doing this! Your tutorials/breakdown sessions have taken my interest of color grading to another level. And the more I learn, the more I want to know.
Wow! Just wow! You never dissapoint! Thank you for all these great stuff, you are beyond awesome for doing these tutorials. One question: How do you get the side by side comparison?
@@liquidmocofilmsllc4915 I don't know the side by side but if you grab a still then double click on the still you grabbed that still will be shown as one half and your image will be the other half... I don't think I explained that well but😂
I'm quite new to lighting, color grading, etc. but I'm pretty knowledgable with the camera aspect of cinematography. So hopefully maybe some of you can give me some knowledge and tips on my question: If you get the correct focus straight out of the camera in your footage, what are the benefits of adding sharpness? personal taste? getting more detail from a lens that isn't as sharp as you want it? I'm genuinely curious and kind of confused about this aspect.
bruh your videos been hitting my page frequently, and dark is such a wild show. Thanks for these informative videos! I'm tryna get pretty solid color grading. I have a blackmagic camera so I love getting the insight on dealing with that braw
Awesome show and awesome grading. you nailed it again! would love to see more „dark“ gradings. maybe you will post more about dark? like outside gradings with german footage?! thanx for this great tutorial ❤️
Great tutorial, but it would be even better if we know what was your shot coming from. log, raw, rec 709 ? what was your camera raw settings ? your project settings ? I followed the tutorial to the T but my results look nothing like yours. I´m using a cinema DNG clip 12 bit with a last node doing a CST to rec 709. I hope you could provide a bit more information ? thanks man.
hi, thank you for this video, I have exactly the same questions, what was your settings, when do you convert to rec709 ? thank you @thefalconking did you found answers?
Love the videos man really helping me learn color grading and I can definitely see my skills improving because of your tutorials. Would love to see you breakdown how to get one of David Fincher's looks in his films. Especially his yellowish color and really dark gritty look.
I’m so glad I’ve found your channel. I will be starting my short film in the winter and man o man your videos are 🔥 but this one here ... is the exact look I am wanting. 🙏🙏🙏 thank you !
This is an amazing tutorial. I've a feeling it's for people that are used to using Davinci Resolve as you went a bit fast for me and some things I didn't quite get. Brilliant though, once I've got used to the working with nodes and everything I think it will be a fantastic video to come back to. Nice one man. Subbed!
You are the best. Thanks for the tutorial. ! Love the look, It is very usefull for any kind of mistery story, and it is close to David Finchers looks, like the one in SE7EN !
