Building upon our successful Craft of Editing series, The Craft of
Color Grading looks to explore the world of the colorist and the craft
of grading from an application-agnostic approach as much as possible.
The lead prof who has helped develop the course is Chicago-based Craig
Leffel, who has over 20 years of experience grading the top commercials
finished in the city. He'll be helped along the way with some of his
friends who are some of the top colorists based in the United States.
The goal of GRD201 is to tap Leffel's and the other colorist's years of
experience from both a creative standpoint as well as a practical
standpoint. So we'll not only be covering how to make beautiful
imagery, but also things such as how to deal with the often-conflicting
viewpoints of dealing with divergent views from clients. They'll also
be sharing some of their favorite grades they've seen from movies and
other projects and critically breaking them down and speaking about why
they feel it's top work.
Course members should be comfortable grading in their application of
choice. This is not a course designed to teach the operation of
software, but instead is about creating great looking imagery. The
primary software used by the colorists will be Baselight, but is taught
with the goal of showing techniques that can be used in any
application.
course syllabus
Class 1
Solid foundations. An intro to Craig Leffel's background and approach
to the craft of grading. The importance of setting up a solid starting
workflow which can then be built upon
Class 2
Continuing the Moving Day grade. Don't jump the gun and begin using
advanced features. Get your base imagery correct and sequence balanced
before diving into specifics.
Class 3
Finalizing the Moving Day grade. Craig examines windowing and other
techniques -- and the reasons and his thoughts behind doing them.
Class 4
Old School Tech: We dive into learning about film stocks and film
processing. Film might be hanging on for dear life, but clients and
others use film references to explain their vision, so this background
is critical to know. Optimus colorist Tyler Roth will grade some scenes
from Moving Day, attempting to re-create Technicolor looks as well as
processes such as bleach bypass and cross processing.
Class 5
Movie references. Clients use references to movies such as Minority
Report, Saving Private Ryan, and City of God. Tyler Roth will take a
single sequence and grade it a variety of ways, lending his
interpretation to these common requests.
Class 6
Guest prof Stu Maschwitz examines storytelling and the craft of grading
from the perspective of the indy filmmaker.
Class 7
The Politics of Grading: The reality of being paid to do work is that
someone else will also be involved in the creative decision making
process. And one of the most difficult things for artists new to the
process is managing the various personalities, desires, and motivations
of the client. Editor Liz Tate and Craig Leffel sit down to give their
insights gleaned over years of working in pressure situations.
Class 8
Craig is back to work on a grade with less than perfect source footage,
how to deal with issues of unknown formats and keeping an eye on
consistency between shots.
Class 9
A continuation of working with less than perfect source and unknown
formats, and Craig reviews the challenge submissions.
Class 10
In part A Craig shows his approach to grading the New Zealand footage
and beauty work. In part B, Craig sits down and answers student
questions from the term.
