Getting Film Look in Davinci Resolve Color Grading Tutorial

Here it is ! A long awaited tutorial I promised for my YouTube subscribers ! Before we are going to get in the details, I want you guys to know, that Color Grading is not a magic, but rather “enhancement” of the cinematography. You can only make footage looks great, if you shot it right. It doesn’t matter what camera been used for filming, or if footage is 14bit or 8bit. You cannot compensate poor cinematography by slapping LUT on it and calling a day. I personally worked with material that been shot pretty much by all the cameras in the industry, from Alexa to Canon DSLR, and I will tell you, that if cinematography is amazing, all those cameras deliver great material for future color work. Of course there is a huge difference between 8bit and 14bit, but great looking images stand out, even without color grading.

Let’s get started !
