Anyone whos watching this and doesnt have the Master class. And is thinking of get it... DONT THINK! Its worth every penny you spend. He'll just help you take knowledge of colors to anotha level! There was once I worked as Camera man like a year ago(I went to learn mostly). So when it came to post production, it was the first time i saw Davinci resolve. So the whole time i was with the colorist & i was watching and dint understand anything. But the point is when i was leaving the only ADVICE he gave me is learn DR. When i got back home i couldnt find any videos that though coloring or anything about DAVINCI.... TILL i found this Master class and was the best investment EVER!! #NOREGRETS
On of my favorite parts of john wick is that the color is relevant to the narrative. When it’s blue, he’s super powered, when it’s gold he’s vulnerable. It subconsciously tells the story and really is enhanced by the grade. I feel like you could do an entire college course on the use of color in the john wick movies.
Again, I learn something new with your "look" walkthroughs. Today, it was the Low Range adjustment. Knowing what it can do is a huge help to knowing when to use it. Brilliant.
I don't believe but because of you, I feel much more confident with my grades lately. Gonna make a reel plus send you some stills of my upcoming short film. Biggest thanks goes to you
Hey man, Thank you so much for these moments. I'll say it again and I'm convinced that a replay of last Monday's Tuto would be all the rage...! Fixing blanks, etc.... ;) You're a killer !!!!!!!! Peace on U Will
Would you be able to go over your node tree in more detail? I'm newer to Davinci Resolve and am curious when are the best times to use parallel nodes vs. layer nodes and what the advantages of each are. Also, would love to see some horror movie color grading. Specifically Rob Zombie's Halloween remake. Great channel! Has been a huge help so far!
U taught me Davinci resolve from zero and recently I got my first paid project....qazi sir u gave me confidence and lots of skills.....thanku soo much sir ❤️
Hey some great stuff here, listen I always wondered in some videos you do change from Log to Rec709, in some you don’t, is there particular way or structure ?
My man, you do such sick work! Just found your channel a couple of weeks back. Although this is just kind of a hobby for me, I have been taking plays from your playbook and applying them to my field. Keep up the great work! I just bought Vegas pro a while go but finding your channel made it a no brainer to pitch that and switch to Resolve to learn. THANKS MAN! PS you do a lot of work for car companies. Could you grade out a POV driving scene in the rain? Regardless keep it up!
@@theqazman Right on. My first edit and grading I'm doing ever with Resolve (minus the tutorials) is my new go pro driving around town in the rain. My "hero shot" reference is the 1976 Fuji Grand Prix from Ron Howard's Rush. Its all a really flat analogous shadows and midtones minus the car colors popping, and that crazy yellow highlights in the dark blue rainy sky. I Think I picked a hard one for my first time, but I'm going to see what I can do. Keep rockin! PS what is the lead time on your shirts? I wanna see how many babes I can pick up wearing my no Lut B*tch shirt when I go shopping for some new kicks. I'm guessing 0 with my regular shirt, and 100 with my Qazi Swag.
Dude you are the best ! I am asking myself why arent you making some luts ? i mean , is there a reason or do you just want ppl to learn those stuff insted of using them?
So hyped on this my man. We all appreciate the time and knowledge you invest in us! The films and looks that you pick to reverse engineer are always so killer. On a more selfish note, I'm secretly praying for some reverse engineering action on 1984 (Deakins) and Lost City of Z (Khondji)! Keep up the sick content!
Hi Waqas, I want to learn more about color correction. Could you ake a video on how to color correct with various different footages? If you have a video already please let me know.
Since we're on the subject of color grading a Keanu Reeves film, can you please do a tutorial on how to do the Matrix trilogy color grade? Both their theatrical release version and their 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray version?
What's your process for grabbing all of your still frames? Do you have any sites you could recommend that you could keyword search for screengrabs of different movies? Awesome content keep it up... it's cool to be following for the last few months and see so much growth!
I'm really interested in seeing a video on your setup especially the TV or Monitor you have dead center and the colorist thingy with the balls (Not well versed with the terminologies so dont know what its called) Have you considered making a video like that?
@@theqazman Yea about this Masterclass I'm really considering it as I've been looking for a good Class (Not 5 minute tutorial) so far I think your Masterclass might do it however the scepticism in me will like to know if there is some kind of video of yours that let's me know what I can expect to take away from this class. I was going to email you but I've had no luck finding your contact. I'm looking into making videos shot on the BMPCC 6K, Ursa Mini Pro G2, Inspire 1 RAW & Inspire 2 with X5S in CinemaDNG also so I will be working with some RAW Footage I will also in the future like to go into short movies to post on Vimeo & TH-cam and I know nothing about Coloring Footage, I have some experience with Video Editing and Photo editing but I never liked the look and colors of anything I've done Photo or Video so never started a TH-cam channel or Opened an Instagram account what I'm trying to say is Learning to color at an Intermediate (at the very least) to Advanced (Hopefully) is my goal here I will like to be able to replicate the look of movies like Haunting of The Hill House, Game Of Thrones, The Witcher etc I Really would love to get to a professional level because for the type of content I'm looking to make (More in the realm of Cinemaric Short Videos not Vlogs) I feel the color/look will play a very heavy role in telling the story (Sorry this comment is so long it's just couldn't find your email and saw you replied to my comment so I figured while you're here).
Thanks for another game changing Tutorial Qaz!! I am not in a financial position to do your masterclass... live in South Africa and earning Rands ;/ But I know it's totally owrth every penny. I've recently switched from cutting in FCPX to Resolve on a PC and strugglin' a bit, or should I say Resolve is strugglin' a bit with H.264/265 coming out of my XT3... very fustrating and almost makes me want to go back to FCPX...but your tutorials keep me in this world. Thanks for your time and energy put into these tutorials !!!
Start bringing in your projects in Resolve first. Get familiar with the process called bake and blade. Watch my one hour color grading training. Link is in the description of any of my videos.
IDEA FOR A COLOR GRADING TUTORIAL: one from crappy footage (from a canon M50, midrange smartphone or similar) to “professional” look. Something us unable to access REDs or ARRIs could relate to 🤗
Do you ever use some of the more stylized DaVinci Resolve OFX like "contrast pop" in your professional works or do you find it easier to recreate the results with other tools? I find some of the effects give really interesting results but they don't seem to be used regularly among professional colorists.
Hi, great video! By the way did you render this on Da Vinci Resolve? Which settings? My uploads look really bad and compressed. And cant get vp9 codec like yours. Can you help? (My videos are also 4k or 2K but only shows 1080p option on TH-cam)
Hi Qazi, first of all congratulations for sharing all that content with the audience. I was wondering how you grab those stills from movies to use as a reference for grading the footages? Do you capture the signal from a blu-ray device?
I have tried many tutorials from your channel but I am unable to succeed in all cases. Mainly I have download the footage from filmpac.com and then tried color grading by following your tutorial. I am successfully graded Star Wars, Mad Max, The Jungle Book looks because I find exact footage from filmpac but I am not succeeding in The Witcher, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Joker, John Wick looks. I also watched tutorials from other channel regarding shot matching and doing same technique to achieve a perfect grade but I unable to succeed in all cases. Now my main concern is that do you please make some tutorial about how to select the video footage to try a same grading because now I am thinking that the selecting footage is more important to achieve exact grading as in tutorial. Hope you will understand my concern and that is also useful for other subscribers of this channel.
Is it possible to create a high quality grade, maybe cinematic look, using just a few nodes like four or five? Rendering and animation is my currently job, and I'm looking to understand color in a pro level without getting to deep into. Stills: imgur.com/a/umOStb6 Free log footage from: th-cam.com/video/xdKDQc_W288/w-d-xo.html Your tutorials is helping me a lot, thank you!
Sure but I wouldn't do it. It's much better to set up your node tree as I show you because it makes it a piece of cake to pin point a problem and make adjustments when you are in a session with a client. Last thing you want is to stumble over and give off that you don't know what you are doing.
hi there - ffeature film colourist here - if i may - skin tones need more scientific approach (i have proper cinema grade monitor and still don't go by my eyes), I would make sure darkest shadows are actually black... and sharpening is suicidal in cinema... from my experience anyway (unsless you have really terrible shot that needs massive trickery and can't be reshot) - regards
I have to disagree brother. Worked on plenty of commercials myself and always just by analyzing grade by any big movie under the sun there is no hard set rule about where the shadows need to be and where the skins need to be. Watch Midsommar, Traffic, John Wick, O Brother where Art Thou (just to name a few) and you'll know what I mean.
