  1. Thanks Stefan, that looks quite close. I'll presume that you're not very eager to disclose the sauce of you powergrade 🤣
  2. Might want to start here Colorful Encounters: Greg Fisher on coloring ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ How far have you gotten by yourself? I presume you have tried.
  3. That's a big variety of looks, it would help by deciding which aspect you are after to guide you better. As I see you watch wanderingdp I gather you understand the impact of lighting, contrast ratios and set design. The looks you have referenced dont appear to have anything crazy done color wise. The shadows seem mostly neutral while in some there's slight gain push to the blue. All appear to have some amount of highlight compression and controlled toe, which is pretty standard in high end work. The first 3 appear to be very subtle on saturation. Have you analysed these images in your own scopes?
  4. Add some references of what you mean so we can point you in the right direction.
  5. Would you mind sharing your interpretation of those techniques if you have the time? Hahah yes, I know that one. Just make the orange brick building blue or something 🤣 it will be fine. Must have been fun rotoscoping that... You are so right about the NO. Next time they'll just go to someone who can "figure it out" .
  6. Thanks for your reply Marc. No doubt it's a very popular look and done by everyone and their dog however at varying degrees of finesse. I did too think that It shouldn't be too complex given it being around for that long however by observing this sort of looks through the years and with advancement of software ability a greater level of control is apparent. In this specific example the luminance values that are low in cromacity have a controlled blue tint. Once that is achieved it's easy to point the vectors to their respective areas as you suggest. But the question remains how do we tint these luminance values in the best way while still keeping the image looking "Correct"? Also just to clarify, in this exercise I hold reds and skin tones to little importance as the objective is tinting the neutrals.
  7. Hi folks. I've been chasing and trying to understand how to achieve a certain blue look very so often seen from the top shelf houses and their colorists. I will use references from a music video, YG -Scared Money This was graded by one of the senior colorists at Company3, Joseph Bicknell. https://www.company3.com/artists/joseph-bicknell/ While they don't seem to be very eager to disclose whatever techniques they use, there is a finite amount of techniques that can be utilised and I suppose they are not wizards, well arguably at least. I've tried various acrobatics with curves and color spaces, LGG bouncing, change mixer, and color warper which got me the closest. I'm curious how you guys would approach this sort of challenge? Please check out the references. Notice the blue tinting in neutrals as well as the overall blue tone.
