Winter Look Academy

One of the greatest desires that every filmmaker, cinematographer, or colorist has is to make their images more ‘filmic.’ Everyone seems to be after that elusive Filmic Look. Suppose we are to learn and study in more detail how Film works. Would we then be able to decide better when something looks filmic and then develop a greater sensitivity and understanding of the process that would help us discover the real magic that happens in front of our eyes when we shoot on Film?

Four weeks of a realtime training program with four modules

Module One

Module One is dedicated to Cinema Theory Studies. Each week we will analyze a movie, its look and learn more about the work of its Director, Cinematographer, and Colorist.

MODULE TWO

Module Two is dedicated to Film technology studies, and each week we will be focusing on subjects such as Film Image Structure, Photographic Sensitometry, Film Types, Laboratory Tools, and Techniques.

MODULE THREE

Module Three is dedicated to guest lectures by Hollywood’s leading color scientists, colorists, cinematographers, and film manufacturing representatives.

MODULE FOUR

Module Four is the practical module, where each week, participants will be required to build looks decks and create looks inspired by each week’s study.

Students reviews

I was inspired and energized after taking the Bespoke Color Training with Dado Valentic. His knowledge and passion for color science is evident and made it easy to grasp the material having limited knowledge. I strongly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn more about the art and science behind Color.

The 2 day class you just thought was informative and inspiring. Your Mentor was right when he said that you should teach. You are a gifted teacher as well as an amazing colorist. Thank you! I’m excited to start using the tools you’ve given us at CBS and start to elevate our Promos. Again, much appreciation for the training!!

I wanted to take the opportunity to say what a pleasure it was to meet all of you. The course itself was absolutely satisfying but, as Dado predicted, it was an added bonus to spend a couple of days with such a lovely bunch of talented people.
