  3. Entries open from 1 May - 31 July to colourists on any grading platform The FilmLight Colour Awards are returning for their fifth year, with colourists, production companies and facilities invited to put forward their submissions from 1 May – 31 July 2025. The awards are open to colourists working on any grading system and are independently evaluated by a panel of distinguished cinematographers, fellow colourists, media experts and industry figures. Once again this year, colourists can submit their favourite projects across six categories:Theatrical Feature; Television Series/Episodic (including documentary/non-fiction); Commercial; Music Video; Emerging Talent (open to colourists age 18-35, for commercial or music video projects); and Spotlight, which recognises colourists who have contributed to the creative impact of a film with a total budget of less than $3 million USD. Since starting in 2021, the FilmLight Colour Awards have gone from strength to strength, with more than 500 entries in 2024, from over 48 countries. “I was inspired enormously by the quality of work,” said George Miller, Jury Guest of Honor, from the 2024 ceremony. “There are many things that allow enthusiasm for the moving image, and two of them are key: the evolution of the tools we have to work with, and the artists whose brilliance we acknowledge here.” Last year FilmLight added the Emerging Talent category, to promote the work of a new generation of colourists. It was won by freelance colourist Douglas Dutton for his work on the ‘Baltic, Harmonical Diffraction’ commercial. “It’s an immense honour to be selected as a winner in the Emerging Talent category,” said Dutton. “Getting recognition from people I look up to in the industry feels phenomenal. Thank you FilmLight for organising this incredible event.” The 2025 winners will be announced at a dedicated ceremony at EnergaCAMERIMAGE on Sunday 16 November 2025, where their projects will be showcased to the global community of cinematographers, colourists and creatives attending the festival. In recognition of their achievement, all 2025 winners will also receive a one year licence for Baselight M, the new macOS version of FilmLight’s Baselight grading system. You can watch highlights from the 2024 ceremony in the new teaser video, here, and see the full list of 2024 nominees and winners here. The awards are led and organised by FilmLight, in conjunction with EnergaCAMERIMAGE. It’s also supported by the AFC (French Society of Cinematographers), AMC (Mexican Society of Cinematographers), ASC (American Society of Cinematographers), BSC (British Society of Cinematographers), BVK (German Society of Cinematographers), CNSC (Chinese Society of Cinematographers), CSI (Colorist Society International), ISC (Indian Society of Cinematographers), ShotDeck (fully-searchable cinematic image library), and more.

  5. This is very helpful and nicely presented. I admire your work. I wonder though about one technical issue I have. When I set my color space to Aces in the project settings, I get very dark poster fames in the edit page timeline and clips poster frames on the color page. That doesn't happen id I use unmanaged and set to Aces in nodes. Updating thumbnails doesn't help It happens on all kinds of footage, both REC709 and Log.
  6. Hi everyone, I’m a Baselight colorist working on an upcoming feature film where the primary output is for theatrical release (DCI-P3), but the DoP insists on grading in Dolby Vision HDR first. I initially suggested grading in P3 first since the target audience is theatre-goers, but he’s fixed on starting with Dolby Vision. I’m also aware that Dolby Vision SDR trims do not translate well to cinema P3 DCP Now, there’s an additional request to deliver a version optimized for IMAX — and here’s where I need some guidance. I’ve never delivered for IMAX before, and I want to ensure: The DCI-P3 theatrical output is not compromised, since it’s the main release. I produce a proper IMAX version without just handing over the standard P3 DCP. My Setup: Sony BVM-X300 for Dolby Vision HDR grading. Barco DCI-P3 projector for theatrical grading. please suggest popular workflow & guide
  7. The course really should be updated. It uses Resolve version 15. We're in 19 now

  9. In DaVinci R, G, and B values are adjustable from -3 to +5. The values given works fines. Check Monochrome and use decimal format of percent. 100%/100 = 1.00, etc...
  10. The flashback effect in DaVinci Resolve can be created using a combination of color grading, blur, and overlays.
  11. It’s exciting to see how much the FilmLight Colour Awards have grown in just four years. The lineup for 2024 looks impressive, especially in the Theatrical Feature category with titles like Dune: Part Two and Furiosa.
