James Lunt March 29, 2021 Share March 29, 2021 Hey guys I'm pretty new to this and I was wondering if anyone had any course suggestions or something like that I already got the Color Correction Handbook by Alexis Van Hurkman and I'm going to try and start reading that but when it comes to visual stuff like color grading I really like seeing what's going on as it's being explained which is why I ask for courses. I was already looking into this one. https://www.udemy.com/course/color-grading-with-da-vinci-resolve-beginner-to-advanced/?ranMID=39197&ranEAID=k*VTdGlCbXg&ranSiteID=k.VTdGlCbXg-EJNnaXWpmuFJX1dSyB6DeQ&LSNPUBID=k*VTdGlCbXg&utm_source=aff-campaign&utm_medium=udemyads But I don't know if you guys have used this course or recommend it at all. I also have some courses from Lowepost such as Professional Color Grading Techniques, Color Management Workflow In Davinci Resolve, and all the masterclasses. John Daro, Derek Hansen and Chris Jacobson. I don't know if there's anything else I would need but that is what I was wondering and hoping you guys could possibly help me out with. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites
Marc Wielage April 16, 2021 Share April 16, 2021 Mixing Light, FXPHD, Ripple Training, and Lowepost are the main ones I recommend the most. Some books I'd recommend (some on color theory, some on color correction in general): "The Art & Technique of Digital Color Correction" by Steve Hullfish https://www.amazon.com/Art-Technique-Digital-Color-Correction/dp/024081715X "Color & Mastering for Digital Cinema" by Glenn Kennelhttps://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Digital-Cinema-Industry-Handbook/dp/0240808746 "Digital Cinematography: Fundamentals, Tools, Techniques, and Workflows" by David Stumphttps://www.amazon.com/Digital-Cinematography-Fundamentals-Techniques-Workflows/dp/0240817915 "Color Reproduction in Electronic Imaging Systems"https://www.amazon.com/Colour-Reproduction-Electronic-Imaging-Systems/dp/1119021766 "Cinematic Color" (which is free)https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jeremyselan/cinematiccolor/master/ves/Cinematic_Color_VES.pdf "Color Reproduction in Electronic Imaging Systems" by Michael Toomshttps://www.amazon.com/Colour-Reproduction-Electronic-Imaging-Systems/dp/1119021766 "Digital Video and HD: Algorithms and Interfaces" by Charles Poyntonhttps://www.amazon.com/Digital-Video-HD-Algorithms-Interfaces/dp/0123919266 "The Reproduction of Colour" by Dr. R.W.G. Hunthttps://www.amazon.com/Reproduction-Colour-R-W-Hunt/dp/0470024259 "Color Mania: The Material of Color in Photography and Film" by Barbara Flückigerhttps://www.amazon.com/Color-Mania-Material-Photography-Film/dp/3037786078 "Colour Cinematograph" by Adrian Cornwell-Clyne Chapman & Hallhttps://www.amazon.com/COLOUR-CINEMATOGRAPHE-Third-Revised-enlarged/dp/B000GU30WE Some books on workflow are good to know: "Modern Post: Workflow & Techniques for Digital Filmmakers" by Scott Arundalehttps://www.amazon.com/Modern-Post-Workflows-Techniques-Filmmakers/dp/0415747023 "The Guide to Managing Postproduction for Film, TV, and Digital Distribution" by Susan Spohr & Barbara Clark https://www.amazon.com/Guide-Managing-Postproduction-Digital-Distribution/dp/1138482811 And the best book on Film Lab color-correction I've ever read is this one: "Film Technology in Post Production" by Dominic Casehttps://www.amazon.com/Film-Technology-Production-Media-Manuals/dp/0240516508 The latter explains how film was color graded in the laboratory prior to television and digital. Some of the basic principles still apply today. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites
