I. Introduction to Colour Grading

Wednesday 25th April 2012

This 1-day introductory workshop is aimed at anyone interested in colour correction, either as a colourist or as a filmmaker working with a colourist. The course will cover practical examples, basic grading advice, and a quick look at the history and workflows of grading. The presentation will include an overview of professional grading theatres and equipment used, with images of example suites from around the world.

The workshop offers a wonderful insight to anyone who has ever thought about grading, but not had the opportunity to explore its potential. It is an ideal foundation for more in-depth courses and workshops, as well as a guide for anyone considering the purchase of grading software or about to book a session with a colourist.

Areas covered include:

  • Introduction: What does a colourist do? Is grading a technical necessity?
  • A Short History of Colour Grading and Enhancement: How today’s grading technologies and techniques have developed.
  • Grading Workflows: When to colour and what to expect
  • The differences between Film, Video and Digital Colourists: Can it always be fixed in post?
  • Effects of Colour: Examples of correction, enhancement and effects
  • Getting Started: What are the essential tools needed?
  • Taking It Further: A professional approach.
  • Grading Suites and Theatres: When should you use them? Are they all the same?
