I’ve also been working on the concept of powergrades, which is a major theme of this colorist’s work. I’ve been taking even more notes on this video, which has been insanely helpful so far:
I’ll still be using the LUT I’ve mentioned, as well as the adjustments I’ve already made, but I will be applying the powergrade on the individual clips themselves and seeing how it turns out. I will post some screencaps showing the differences between the LUT as is and the LUT with the powergrade in the future.
