This advanced workshop expands on the instructor Devan's previous introductory class, diving deeper into the industry-standard software Davinci Resolvethrough demonstrations and hands-on practice.

Colour correction dramatically affects the mood of your scenes and enriches your storytelling process. If you've dabbled enough to realize the basics, this advanced workshop will deepen your understanding of colour science and the powerful variety of advanced tools available in Davinci Resolve to fine tune the look of your film and video project.

This workshop is structured around a single project provided by the instructor -- a short film made up of a compilation of scenes that will present you and your classmates with various artistic challenges. Though all participants will be provided the same short film project, you will be free to take the project wherever you want artistically, based on your own interests.

Topics covered:

• In-depth exploration of the post-production workflow in a professional context
• Matching footage from different camera manufacturers
• Suite setup and display calibration
• Stills gallery management
• LUT usage and creation
• Lightbox: groups, flags, and arranging footage to streamline workflows
• Designing distinct look swatches
• Color space transforms
• Layer mixers & parallel nodes
• Advanced film emulation tools
• Timeline grades vs Group grades vs Clip grades
• Exporting stems and film delivery

This workshop's schedule gives participants time between sessions to practice on their own and come up with questions.
