Master Color Grading This Year
Our courses are actively enrolling now. Join professionals already transforming their grading workflow with real-world techniques.
Advanced DaVinci Resolve Workshop
This isn't your typical software tutorial. We focus on the decision-making process behind great color work. You'll understand why certain choices work and others don't.
The course covers commercial grading workflows, client communication, and how to deliver consistent results under tight deadlines. We use actual commercial projects as examples—not demo footage.
- Node structure that scales with project complexity
- Working with Log footage from different cameras
- Building looks that translate across delivery formats
- Managing revisions without starting over
Narrative Grading Techniques
Narrative work requires a different mindset than commercial grading. You're telling a story across hours of content, maintaining visual continuity while supporting emotional beats.
We break down actual feature and series work. How do you balance creative vision with technical requirements? What happens when you need to match footage shot months apart?
- Building a cohesive look across multiple episodes
- Handling mixed lighting and challenging footage
- Collaborating with directors and cinematographers
- Time management for long-form content
What to Expect
Foundation Building (Weeks 1-3)
We start with color theory, but not the academic kind. You'll learn how color psychology affects viewer perception and how to apply that to your grading decisions. Then we move into technical fundamentals—scopes, color spaces, and why they matter for your final output. By week three, you're already working on real footage.
Technique Development (Weeks 4-8)
This is where things get interesting. You'll work through different genres and delivery requirements. Each week focuses on a different challenge: matching camera angles, creating period looks, handling HDR delivery, working with limited color information. We provide raw footage from actual projects and you'll submit your work for detailed feedback.
Professional Practice (Weeks 9-12)
The final phase simulates real client work. You'll receive project briefs, reference materials, and revision requests just like you would on an actual job. Deadlines are firm. We want you to experience the pressure and problem-solving required in professional settings before you're billing clients.
