Mixinglight – Colorist Comparison – Grading Identical Footage & Comparing Notes

In this series, we distribute the same footage to two Contributors, give them the same set of Director’s notes, and after spending no more than 90 minutes grading the sequence, we get together and share the final results. We hope the result will be a deep dive into colour grading approaches, techniques, and workflows. In our first take on this concept, Kali Bateman and myself share our thoughts and insights for the grade. Patrick Inhofer selected the footage, gave us our creative brief, and joined us in the discussion.
