This is a five day class for those that have some experience working with color but need to fill in gaps in their knowledge of color theory, color science and grading techniques. The course is designed to improve skills, efficiency and creativity as includes learning techniques so that you continue to learn at an accelerated rate beyond the classroom.
The course starts with theories on the physics and psychology of color. How does the brain interpret visual data? How do we define a color gamut and what are the key differences between sRGB, rec 709, DCI P3 and BT 2100? We then look in depth at grading tools, processing order and the quickest cleanest solution for common grading challenges.
Kevin introduces his own grading theories along with useful approaches to looks, aesthetics and color. We discuss the cultural meanings or concepts styles impart to an image or project.
The course includes methods for all genres from music videos to feature films and from internet, to broadcast and cinema. There is a devoted section to changes that HDR displays bring and you will explore the different techniques and deliverables required for HDR projects.
