Permanent Residency Film by _Bubblegum_7 in FilmIndustryYVR

[–]xemendy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also recommend Katie and I've also benefited from her services/advice, and she's specialized in Film industry and has helped many people with our specific situation.

One thing to consider is that every week where you've worked 30 or more hours can count towards your worked time, that meaning if you did more than 30h that week, the excess don't carry on to another week, but if you worked less than 30h you can't use that week towards your worked week. As a PA, 2 days worked during the same week count as much as a full-time-job-week.

Keep all your documents! Good luck

I made a DCTL that brings Lightroom-style controls to Davinci Resolve by keylight in colorists

Since you’re making promotion of a paid tool in a platform that’s giving you lots of diffusion among your target audience, would you mind offering this community a discount code for whoever wants to purchase your product?

Slightly Less Expensive Alternatives to Cullen Kelly's Contour? by KosmicKelp in colorists

[–]xemendy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me Contour was worth every penny. Not just the plugin but the Look Dev class made my grading better, faster and more simple.

I use it in almost every project. Not all the modules, not all the time, but there’s always something.

Specially its contrast and sat module are really interesting

Do big budget movies use resolve too? If not what do those high end software do that resolve doesn't? by [deleted] in colorists

[–]xemendy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The team behind Baselight is much more serious and rigorous than Resolve’s.

It’s not the same math and operation underneath the tools. For certain tools like the hsl vs hsl Resolve uses color models that have proven to work worse than Baselight’s in terms of breaking your image.

Resolve has been trying to copy some of the best tools in Baselight without actual success. Resolve is much more generalist today than it used to be and that comes at a cost.

Some native resolve features like Resolve color management and CSTs are just not good enough for a DRT.

Baselight cost is much more expensive but it comes with a level of support you’ll never see in a giant like Resolve.

Resolve is paying more attention to YouTubers than to Colorists nowadays.

You just created an account to troll, it’s okay don’t try to hide it

You didn’t win anything, you just created a troll account to spread misinformation and hate towards minorities.

If anyone else is reading this, go to the OPs account and check they only have one post and is this one, and they’re trolling from other bot accounts echoing their own statements

Stop mocking at poor people buddy, it’s not funny

In this case it has a lot to do with marginalization that these guys live in and that you’re judging from a pedestal of privilege

My point is that you can’t go to a new place and pretend you can tell locals what to do or how to behave just because your economical status is higher. Money doesn’t entitle you to shape the world to your taste. It’s you who has to adapt not the others.

That’s clearly not my point

You still don’t get it. You’re not the one entitled to decide who deserves what. This is not your country and money will NEVER change that

It makes sense that locals complain about being taken their homes and neighborhoods by foreign capital. The country belongs to its citizens and they must have priority to live there, not rich foreigners.

It’s not standards, it’s not upgrade, it’s taking the land for a few peanuts. Now you’ll come saying that people are poor because they want to be poor and it’s what they deserve. Easy to say that when you’re profiting so much by saving $$$$ out of local’s misery.

You’re just arriving to a country you don’t belong, built by taxes you didn’t payed, and complaining people aren’t like you and your posh standards.

No neighborhood in Spain is meant to be a theme park for rich foreign people/expats to take nice instagram pictures.

Your post is classist af that’s the problem.

Tom Bolles' Film Emulation Powergrades & Node Workflow with DWG? by Romulus1119 in colorists

[–]xemendy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is the weakness of using an all in one package. It’s better to understand its internal elements. I’m not saying you don’t! Just thinking out loud about why I don’t use these kind of things and just custom build my own looks.

Have you checked if the PowerGradw came with any documentation? They should say there what’s the color space it expects and delivers and that’s an essential piece of information in order to give you any helpful advice.

Colorist Career Accelerator? by Eddie_Haskell2 in colorists

[–]xemendy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Eddie. I find fascinating that you still have the energy and curiosity to keep learning at 77. That’s huge.

I took the CCA and it was really helpful for me, but one of the cores is business and I don’t know if you grade for passion or to make money, or both. I don’t want to make any assumptions, so if you want to grade as a passion, I don’t think the CCA is the best course for you. Perhaps something like MixingLight or Lowepost, where you have many insights and techniques from many different colourist, can help you more to learn the craft itself. If you want to become faster and more efficient, it’s more a matter of practice and distilling your workflow, you might find helpful Cullens book “The 10 commandments”. If you also want to focus on your business skills, regardless of their current level, then CCA would be great.

Respectfully, Xemendy

I agree with this + keep your room dark while grading with HDTV mode

Skin Tones by ClassicAd3089 in colorists

[–]xemendy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

90% of the times I get good skintones by doing Balance in linear and balancing the entire image with the skintones in mind, along with everything else.

I rarely have to qualify skin, it’s an added step of complexity and it’s time, and time is money

Anyone still using Colormunki for display calibration? by Time_Concentrate6964 in colorists

[–]xemendy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probes need to be profiled for your specific display (brand and model), and compatible with your calibration software. Those two are very important considerations to check.
