About:
I am a professional colorist and have worked with brands such as Prime Video, Adidas, Toyota, Vizio, etc. Outside client work, I run a color academy with over 6000 students. My channel mostly focuses on the taste-making (subjective) aspect of color grading. With the rise of AI, I truly believe that most of the grunt, technical (how-to) tasks will be handled by the software, and the job of a colorist will be purely driven by their art and imagination.

You are an excellent instructor. No fluff and direct to the point. I'm a fan!

Best explanation I've seen on REC.709 ever! Simple, clear to the point! Awesome!

[CrashCarson]

WOW really explained it so simple. People need to see this to understand why we need to update! Rec2020, Dolby Vision/10+, 2000 nit 😂, 12bit, H.266/VVC, with Atmos/X!!! Really, a good video and you know it down to fundamentals. I like how you spoke about the stops and how even a cheap camera today can display more than SDR.

Very very informative. It’s good to learn a little bit more about those common terms I often gloss over.

First, thank you for yet another great tutorial. ❤️ I’m a FCM member and love your content!

Please, please be the first on the entire web to do a video on broadcast delivery directly from Resolve or if you edited in Premiere and have to send clips back there.

I have the TV Technical Specifications, but I still feel so confused what specs like ”Luminance(Y) -1% and 103%” or ”RGB video levels -5% and 105%” means and how to grade/render to meet those values.
Also confused about things like EBU recommendations and ITU-R BT.709-5 and such.

Great, simple, no BS explanation. Thanks.

Good primer on Rec.709. I’ve been grading in HDR for over two years. YouTube fully supports it as do most people’s phones.

Rarely I leave any comment but today I learn something new thanks a lot.

[bonjourchouquette]

This is very helpful, thanks. Would you be able to do a video on how to correctly calibrate a monitor for video post production? Been having difficulties getting uniform results across different makers. Thanks again!
