FilmLight Colour Awards reveals 2024 nominees Jury selects 25 nominees across six categories – winners to be announced at EnergaCAMERIMAGE on 17 November LONDON — 17 October 2024: FilmLight has revealed the nominees for the 2024 FilmLight Colour Awards. In their fourth year, the awards attracted over 500 entries from 46 countries across the globe and the independent jury of cinematographers, colourists and creatives have now revealed the names of the 25 colourists shortlisted across the six categories. Ahead of casting their final votes, the 2024 jury gathered to discuss the entries. During the discussion, George Miller, 2024 Jury Guest of Honour, talked to Jury President, Mandy Walker, and other jurors, about his evolving relationship with colour. “For the films I work on, we tend to get the colourist involved early,” says Miller. “The biggest problem, I think, is that visual effects can be so widespread – with people from all over the planet working on it. With this, there’s a risk of losing cohesion, and the colourist is the nexus of all these interactions. This is why I am so excited to be doing this and seeing all the wonderful work that is being completed across so many different platforms and media – it is a very significant moment and one that will develop even more.” This year’s nominees for the award for the grading of a Theatrical Feature are: Dune: Part Two – graded by David Cole at FotoKem Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga – graded by Eric Whipp at alter ego Poor Things – graded by Greg Fisher at Company 3 Saltburn – graded by Matt Wallach at Company 3 In the TV Series / Episodic category, the nominees are: Eric (season 1, episode 1) – graded by Toby Tomkins at Harbor Expats (season 1) – graded by Seth Ricart at RCO Griselda (season 1) – graded by Ian Vertovec at Light Iron The Zweiflers (season 1) – graded by freelance colourist, Manuel Portschy In the Commercial category, the judges chose: Air Canada, Ticket to Dream – graded by Wade Odlum at alter ego McDonald’s, We the (In)visible – graded by freelance colourist, Manuel Portschy Riyadh Season: Crawford Vs Madrimov, Everything Or Nothing – graded by Philip Hambi at The Mill Zara, SS24 STUDIO COLLECTION – graded by Tim Masick at Company 3 For the Music Video category, the judges selected: Brodka x Igo, Myślę sobie Ż – graded by freelance colourist, Nadia Khairat Gomez Kaismos, Sailed – graded by Sylvain Canaux at Saint Louis Nettspend, Nothing Like Uuu – graded by freelance colourist, Brian Charles Shake Stew, Lila – graded by freelance colourist, Manuel Portschy The Spotlight award aims to recognise the unsung talents in the industry.

Hello Folks, It may seem odd, but I can't seem to find black & white color bars or a LUT assistant anywhere online. If it's a technical term, I'm not familiar with it. Can someone help me know by another with this?

Look Development & Workflow in DaVinci Resolve
Jatin Soni commented on Lowepost's course in The Art of Color Grading
I like the course, but it seems you are using a mini or advanced panel, so it is hard to follow along with you. Most of the time, you do not switch wheels or explicitly mention which wheel you are modifying. Also, when you use the panel, the mouse is not visible, and so I cannot target the area you are working on. -
Color Management Workflow in DaVinci Resolve
Jatin Soni commented on Sjors Krebbeks's course in Color Grading
This is an amazing course. It provides a detailed understanding of how RCM works and is managed. However, many aspects of the course are not related to the latest version of DaVinci Resolve 19. For instance, the Gamut lesson does not have any effect; in fact, it damages the preview by adding the Gamut node to the Fusion tree. It seems that BMD has corrected or fixed the issue. Can you please review all the chapters and update the course? It would be a great help and add value to it. -
Hi there Cullen, I was playing around with your techniques from lecture 2 in resolve.... I just have a a few questions about it. first off what is the link to the grade assist? I went to the raven grade website and it wasn't clear where I could find that particular thing without buying a package..? 2) I tried to adjust contract your way (luminosity) and found that my vectorscope didn't stay put after turning off and on.... could this because of how far I adjusted it? large increments rather then very small? Note: I tried to do this on an already dull image (monochrome). This was also not using a lut first. Thanks,

Look Development & Workflow in DaVinci Resolve
Jason Bowdach commented on Lowepost's course in The Art of Color Grading
When using this method for organization, I recommend placing the IDT camera transform at the pre-clip group level, so it would stay consistent for the entire group. We're only moving from camera space to working color space (DWG or ACES usually) so we actually want it to be identical for every clip of the same camera type. Next, within the clip node tree, we can adjust each clip on an individual bases as needed in terms of exposure, contrast, saturation, etc. For other creative elements, you can use the post-clip, timeline node levels, or even adjustment layers for your scene level adjustments. Hope that helps! -
And this one: A new training series is just around the corner! We've been working day and night to bring you a fresh new look for Lowepost, and we'll be back to posting more regularly very soon.

Am I wrong, or has it been a while since any tutorials on DaVinci Resolve have been published?

Look Development & Workflow in DaVinci Resolve
Emily Leishman commented on Lowepost's course in The Art of Color Grading
Hello Jason, I've done a lot of study on Film Looks most recently and this is the first video I have seen someone use Grouped clips to apply these transforms, grain etc.... great idea! However can you still group clips and select only one clip for the 'colourspace transform' to be applied? and not the whole group? ( say if there there was a section) within the whole show/TVC etc? or would you need to apply seperate from the group and just group others without the old film looks? In other words, can you still manipulate each shot within a group separately? or, when looking at the node graphs; you see some grouped clips ( with all the same adjustments) and a number of single clips with differences... like a film transform, a window, a custom fusion effect? Sorry if you go through this down the track .... i'm just starting on your film look video. Thanks. -
The difference between DNxHR and ProRes codecs
Nicholas Zimmerman commented on Sjors Krebbeks's insider article in Workflow
I’m not sure which facilities are using Windows Resolve and abandoning ProRes, but that has not been my experience in Hollywood. I regularly have to deliver at least some ProRes deliverables for features and TV, but have never been required to deliver a DNx deliverable of any kind. About the only time I ever make a DNx is as a conform check file for editorial. -

Comes with Midi Cable for connection, original box, manual, product card, and mounting hardware. Works great. no issues afaik. a few buttons have a bit of paint worn a bit, but not completely gone. No problems seeing what they are. $300 +shipping. Or make a serious offer. listed on FB marketplace as well. Mackie's new Human User Interface, first previewed in SOS January '98, was designed to offer a hardware interface for software‑driven digital audio workstations. Digidesign's Pro Tools 4.1 software is the first to support the device, although Mackie intend that other DAWs will eventually also be able to work with the HUI. So what is HUI for? Well, as most SOS readers will know, Pro Tools' onscreen mixer is normally controlled using your computer's mouse. The problem, however, is that a mouse is far from being the ideal device for controlling a mixing console — it is difficult to drag the faders smoothly, and 'turning' knobs on screen can be awkward, to say the least. Consequently, several hardware controllers have been developed as an alternative to software front‑ends over the years, including models from Penny & Giles and JL Cooper: all of these, however, offer only a limited number of controls compared with the HUI, which seeks to give the operator hands‑on control of virtually all of Pro Tools' mixing and editing parameters, as well as a full set of transport and locator controls. At first glance, the control surface looks rather like a compact digital mixer, with eight assignable faders, associated Select switches, and an electronic 'scribble strip' which picks up the channel names from your Pro Tools project and displays these handily above the faders. This feature alone won my instant approval! The faders are motorised so they move to reflect automatically the positions of Pro Tools' onscreen faders. The HUI also has a built‑in meter bridge with eight pairs of dual LED 'ladders'. With mono Pro Tools tracks, only the left LED 'ladder' lights up, while both are used with stereo channels. Having these meters just where you need them is great, especially if you are using the ADAT Bridge interface, for instance, which, unlike Digidesign's 888 I/O hardware, doesn't have any meters.
