Grading workshop with Warren Eagles & DaVinci Resolve
Remember a few years ago as a DOP you had 3 choices Fuji, Kodak or Tape and grading suites cost over a million plus to build? Now you have heaps of shooting options and a DaVinci is free! Freelance colorist and Resolve owner Warren Eagles will be showcasing what the Resolve can do for your pictures, both on set and in the grading suite.
Warren will show you how to get started with the software, talking about and importing the increasing number of digital formats along with their pros and cons. He will discuss LUTs, and how they can simplify the grading process for all parties. Sony will be supplying an F3 camera and an OLED monitor. So please come and enjoy beer and nibbles supplied by Videopro & Sony! Tuesday 8th May at Videopro
