About

In this course, you will work on a professionally shot feature film material. You will learn how to take it from the preparation for grading through to the final deliverables, with a comprehensive look at all the new features of Resolve V18. Apart from the apparent color grading, you will also learn the finishing aspects of the colorist’s job, like scene relighting, object removals and sky replacement, including delivering the best possible service and picture quality that exceed client expectations.

The course also covers tips for setting up a grading room and best practices for dealing with the client remotely, delivering, and conforming. With an increased demand for Episodic TV finishing, we are on the mission to give you the most relevant training and make you better equipped and prepared for the work as a remote Feature Film Colorist.

In this new and updated version, we bring you tips and tricks that were not available to the colorist in the past. The unique features of Resolve v18 are opening new horizons, and we are inviting you to explore those with us.
