Live Seminar: The Tao of Color Grading
About The Seminar
- Understand a simple physical truth about the human vision system – that your eyes and brain conspire to work against your ability to really ‘see’ the images you are capturing and creating.
- Become enlightened about how to combat the aggressive manner in which our eyes lie to us.
- Learn how the underlying methods used to digitally compress and process video can be leveraged to your advantage in the color grading process.
- Walk away with a simple workflow which you can immediately employ for quick, efficient grading.
- Learn how to use powerful image evaluation tools that are already built into the software you’re using.
- Discover the one color correction filter you probably never use – but should, and is an essential tool in Patrick’s bag of tricks.
Longer versions of the seminar include a live demo of the Euphonix MC Color colorist control surface and a discussion of various “boxes” (such as the AJA IO HD) to get an image out of your computer to a proper ‘broadcast monitor’.
