REVERSE ENGINEERING THE GRADE
“Reverse Engineering the Grade” is a project where I collect stills from “behind the scenes” and compare those images side by side with scenes from the final movie. Furthermore, I try to match the grade using only 4 Nodes: Offset, Contrast, Saturation, Lift Gamma Gain. My goal is to get as close as possible to the final look, but at the same time I want to keep the node tree minimal and clean.
BLOG
In my blog I talk about observing film grain, halation, lens characteristics and color. I share my thoughts on courses, YouTube channels, codecs, and so on. The latest update is about “Why I build LUTs“.
Have fun discovering the site.
