The Summer Blockbuster Colour Grading Tutorial
ฝัง

- In this tutorial I show you my take on The Summer Blockbuster look - using the powerful 2 node subtractive colour setup.
Make sure you read the accompanying blog post as it goes into more detail than what's possible in the video - juanmelara.com....
I suggest trying out the techniques on the tutorial footage first, as it's easier to know when you're heading in the right direction. Download all the necessary footage/files from the link above.

This one tutorial just completely degrades the majority of "Cinematic Look" tutorials on TH-cam. Amazing information!
I have scoured TH-cam for insights and theory of a grade..and no body seems to address that, everybody is showing which software they use, what LUT they use, which plugins works best..But none has come close to how you explain these things Sir...and for that thank you very much..you've got a subscriber and a fan.
Why this have so little views , this is best tutorial on TH-cam about this look !
i agree. i just found this great
tutorial
I'm thinking the same
Beacause it’s not a one pill solves all
You mean like a LUT you can buy?
nothing more exciting than watching a master doing his craft
This is excellent and crazy that it's still relevant in 2022. I'd love to see other grades done like this, but also to see the difference between how you grade now vs when this was posted.
I'm 100% sure that you've learned even more in the past 5 years which have altered your workflow.
Not to mention that Resolve has changed a lot too.
i will happy pay for tutorials made by you, sure i´m not the only one
this is probably the most in depth and most advanced tutorial I've seen in awhile.
I'm new to editing and color grading but you made this look so fun and simple keep it up mate !1
One of the best tutorials till date. Appreciate efforts. Love from India.
Juan, this is for sure the most comprehensive and accurate tutorial on this topic so far. Please, do some more. Peace and love
Def the best on TH-cam, I am using his technics for years
DO MORE!!! TOU ARE AWESOME!!!
this makes me see films differently and i love it
2016 and still actual, thanks man
Thank you for a high-quality tutorial. Please make more.
Best color grading tutorial I've ever seen
I needed this tutorial so bad!. Thanks so much from Venezuela!
This is a very very good tutorial!
This channel is really underrated man. You teach colour science perfectly ❤
For those following the tut. change these DR settings. Project Settings (bottom right) > General Options > Colour - 'Use legacy Log grading ranges and curve'
The best Resolve av ever seen. Thanks man. I like how well organized your presentation is.
Love this thank you buddy :) i have come a long way since starting to work in reolve last year and i have so much more to learn about resolve.
Great tutorial! Thank you for providing both the theory and the practical.
Great tutorial, and thank you for taking the time to explain the theory behind it. Would love to see more!
Amazing! Thanks so much. Some of the absolute best tutorials on TH-cam
Perfection !✅
Why are my Log wheels so unresponsive? Even if i push the mids to max i still dont get anywhere near the level of teal you get with just a tiny movement.
Absolutely fantastic tutorial! By far the best on TH-cam about this topic. Can you please do more.
Very very good tutorial, Juan. Congrats. Please make more tuts like this one!
Brilliant! I've learned so much. Thanks
Okay, this was genuinely amazing !
Thank you, Sir. You helped me in a tremendous way grading my Blackmagic URSA shots. I hope you'll do more tutorials in the future - subscribed, thank you!
Amazing tutorial. So very thorough and professional. It would be great if you'd do that one about your skin-tone process that you mentioned in this tutorial. Thanks a lot!
I don't get how you manage to have the ''Log'' tab color wheels to give that strong of an effect on colors. I can only do that in the primaries tab.
I’m having that same issue, have you found a fix?
Please make tutorial about the process going into movie industry color grading,for example take a movie like " siberian educatio " and explain how the grading process is probably done. btw I love the colors in this movie so much.
When I first start adding teal to the midtones, the color wheel has barely any effect. Any ideas there?
Even i am having the same problem
have you tried changing the HR or LR values?
I found the solution....u r using the latest version so go to the settings and check the legacy log grading option
this is a very professional tutorial ,thank you sir ..
Great Tutorial! Thank You!!
Amazing tutorial. Would love to see more.
Your color grading looks amazing. Good job! 😊✌🏻
Such an awesome video, thank you for your effort!!
this video is amazing!~ what a pro colorist!! want more for beginner!
Hello Juan! I want to know which package is right for me? I edit in white davinci with an intermediate davinci color. I am interested in negative film images as well as printed film images. T500 Kodak 2383, etc. In which of your packages can I paint Davinci White Gamut and Davinci Intermediate??
Is this aspect possible to achieve with the powergrade you have on your page? Do you have any tutorial beyond the one that comes with the purchase?
I don’t know about you, but I love the teal and orange color grading. It looks great n movies
You're such a pro, dude
That was next level!
Have you seen chopper 2000 in that movie it gives it a gritty look
very tight. very very cool! very competent!
Thank you so much..you are great...
great tutorial!
This tutorial is insane!
nice, very useful tutorial. Provide us more tutorials for grading like the hollywood movie "300".
This guy is amazing
You sir... are AMAZING!!
Just wow!
Thanks so much for the lesson taught. I am truly a big fan of this black Buster look. Could you please create this look in Premiere Pro? I will highly appreciate. Thanks!
Bam! This was great! Thank you, Sir!
Are you available for hire to color grade specific look in this tutorial?
Thank you!
Thank you for good video
I wonder if it is possible to achieve with one node in Resolve 17 using the HDR tools. Thank you Juan!
Hello, to color grade are you using a "natural" or a "flat" profile? The original footage doesn't look like a log profile and you still get awesome results!
Is this grading is similar to Harry Potter. This was what ı was looking for. In Azkaban they had bluegreen shadows and midtones but the bright areas were staying white so ı was thinking about that. Now I suddenly saw ur video. What a luck
Wow omg what can i say??? You are the greatest!!!!
Is it possible that the log controls work kinda diffently nowadays? (Resolve 15)
Same feeling. To get his look and saturated colors i really have to crank the log wheels up..
@@henkechristoph Yeah they changed the way that log works in the newer versions. You can activate legacy log controls in the options though. But i just got used to the way it is now.
Awesome videos! Please do some more tutorials :-)
I'm not even done with the video and my jaw already dropped
Hi JuanI love your tutorial on the Blockbuster colour grading tutorial and wanted to learn more from you and how did you know which option to choose from and how do I learn more about this I'm ordering my new Pocket 4K and its on it way and would you be able to steer me in the right direction as to learn more about choosing colour space and Gemma curve.Its might sound silly but I want to understand the theory behind this and how did you come to chooses that option as you didFor a new starter in Davinci resolve, Where do we go to get a better understand your process and your waysPlease help if you canMany thanksVisy
Thanks a lot.
Are the practice footage still available?
Wow!
how can i get this in photoshop.i want to get it in pictures
..double thumbs up Juan! ...thanks mate.. :-)
Thanks bro good video
Please add 1080p versions of the footage. They don't grade correctly when they are downgraded through media encoder.
You're using incorrect settings in media encoder for footage to be graded. I know I'm a year late.
you are gold !!!!!!!
is footage from a c300 mark i make for a good grade?
looks about right
what software did you used???
The skin on the guys knee and the girls hair in the last clip is still breaking the qualifier. I don't think you covered enough range in the skin tone qualification. You bandaided it by qualifying the orange color in the cups . Besides that, I think the look with kodak is great. Hilights and midtones much too muted on the last clip. I liked the stock grade better than the adjustments you made. Lovely workflow regardless (maybe my monitors just shit)
Has anyone had problems getting the mid tones to go blue? In the video(7:02), he pushes it to 0.19. When I push it there, hardly any color difference; maybe different version of resolve?
Yeah, this is an old version of Resolve. For it to work you need to enable "Use legacy log grading ranges and curve" in the Color panel under settings.
@@JuanMelara82 Thank you so much!
Great 👍
Juan - great videos - do you have tutorials online for purchase? i'm a shooter but i'd like to move from adobe pr to davinci - and this is like starting all over again! cheers, simon
Can you something like this in premiere pro/ae?
does it have to be a stock RED footage to apply all that? how abt a dslr footage?
Use any log footage, do your base correction, then use the principles here for your grade.
I am trying this in Davinci 14 and I am not getting the same results... I wonder if its because of some change in the program?
Krishna Taveras Did you use the same LUT as he did in the video?
for Davinci 14/15 you need to switch ON the Legacy Log grading range: Project Settings>General Options> Colour - 'Use legacy Log grading ranges and curve'. Otherwise you won't see the blue appear anywhere near as strong in the midtone on Log mode
Juan, when is your next tutorial coming out?
do you have some of it on magic bullet?
Great tutorial. would you share this LUT, please?
Please make a video on david fincher colour grade
Great! But can u do a panasonic Gh4 video Grade?
You’ve just proved that Hollywood has as little originality in film grading as in making movies. Very informative though thanks.
Program use??
Juan, you videos are fantastic, cannot urge you enough to make more, I'm going to be rewatching your videos again and again.
I have an idea for a future video that I would love to see your take on. I recent shot a film in a courtroom, style was a comedy. Courtroom had mostly white walls, wooden furniture, and characters with relatively muted colour clothes. Was shooting slog3 on a sony fs7, exposed roughly 2 stops over, I had great looking footage viewing a relatively neutral 'Alexa' like lut on set, but I'm struggling to implement a look in post that really makes the footage shine. The white walls are obviously the biggest Issue, but I tried to introduce as much contrast on set and shape on set as possible. Would be interesting to see how you would tackle that issue, the nature of a comedy I feel limited how extreme some of the tones can go, but introducing any colour, the walls just kill me. Any ideas/tips?
It sounds like you might want to build out some masks for the walls you're talking about and deal with them on their own.
what software do you use Juan?
juan would u have an online course sometimes? really wanna learn from u .
Where did you go?
Believe it or not. I'm actually working on a new tutorial as we speak.
what happened to your website though? all the tutorials are gone. glad to hear you're working on a new tutorial though, it's been a while. welcome back.
I switched hosting provider the other week. They should still be here though: juanmelara.com.au/blog/ otherwise it could be a DNS issue...
Found them, the link you sent worked. thanks a lot. we'll be expecting the tutorial you're working on. Also if you can someday please create a tutorial on the warm look, like in the movies Selma and 42.
Can you do this for FCPX?
buenisimo!
Kind of a stupid question, bot how do you edit the footage? I'm editing in premiere, and it's pretty lame that it is near impossible to import all the stuff to resolve (edited with cuts and effects). So the best sollution is to export everything you need (all the footage seperate) to grade then export it again back to putting it together in premiere? Or is there something im not noticing.
Btw, you have the best explanation so far :)
Personally, I'd edit in Resolve as well. It has all the tools needed. Much easier than trying to import Adobe stuff.
But resolve does not suppert all the codecs. That is the problem. For example i have some m2t files that i wnated to add to a project (i know, its the worst...) but sadly i can't :(
I only work with mts files for now. I can work with that in resolve with no problem :) maybe even faster than premiere. I need to upgrade my stuff :D kinda like that ursa mini pro... Im currently using jvc gy hm70e (on manual settings), hero 3+ black and an iphone SE. I know its not the best setup, but i can do magic with these :D
Look up tutorials on exporting from premiere with an EDL.
