About:
I am a professional colorist and have worked with brands such as Prime Video, Adidas, Toyota, Vizio, etc. Outside client work, I run a color academy with over 6000 students. My channel mostly focuses on the taste-making (subjective) aspect of color grading. With the rise of AI, I truly believe that most of the grunt, technical (how-to) tasks will be handled by the software, and the job of a colorist will be purely driven by their art and imagination.

I have been a video editor for years on Avid, also color blind as far as FAA is concerned, but the comments and way you explained the color was unbelievably great. I now am moving to Resolve and finding the learning curve is so helped by people like you. Thank you john R

One of the best videos I've ever watched about color grading. Might be the best!

@DozifJuggles 2 года назад

Hey Qazi, I wanted to thank you for all your videos, they have taught me so much about Resolve that I couldn't have learned otherwise. I've recently gotten a job working for a DIT on an upcoming netflix film as a dailies overnight processor and a lot of the workflow was intuitive to me because of what I've learnt about Resolve from these videos (which I think I've now watched all of them, some twice). I always thought I'd try to be a cinematographer as that's what I specialised at in university or try to become a colourist but I think now I'm going to be trained up as a DIT with a focus on OnSet Colour work in Silverstack XT and Resolve. I luckily made the contact with this DIT through a friend's family member's friend so a lot of luck was involved but I wouldn't have been half as confident in my skills in this role if not for these videos and have been able to quit my job as a bartender to go into DIT work as my career path. Wishing you all the best from here in rainy London, Joseph

This is one of the most beneficial videos I have ever watched. Not only as an aspiring colorist but as a current cinematographer this gave me so much insight. This will pay off not only in post, but also in my preproduction and principal photography processes. You continue to share pivotal information. In my opinion, you are one of the top 3 sources for filmmakers on this platform.

7:19 both are same but the green on left is perceived brighter because of an equally complimenting shade if yellow and the green on right is perceived duller cause it’s on top of a brighter shad of green.

14:21 "This is from Spring Breakers, which is a romcom..." I think we may have very different interpretations of the "romcom" genre.

@Norkei 2 года назад

6:47sec, i think the B is more brighter because of the white outline which diffuse more light (?) - For the square, the right because of the outside which tend, for our eyes, to interpret the inside more brighter than the other square

@johnrandall879 2 года назад

Oh by the way I didn't pause as you suggested but I did get every one right when you told us! But idea was great. Because as you said once before and I listened "Looks can deceive!"

@theqazman 2 года назад

Awesome and yes.

@SATHYAGS 2 года назад

square on right looks brighter(tho both r same ) cuz the back square is dark hence it gives a bit contrast...and this is also a reason why we used to add vignette around subject

@kalpvrikshacreativestudios3959 2 года назад

Right is brighter

@kakegarcia8056 Год назад
