GRADE MY R3D - HORROR SHORT

[Paul J. Helin]

Hi everyone!

I have previously posted r3d's from a project earlier this year and the results were so eye-opening that here I am again asking for the color-wizards of the community to step up and share some of their talent again. This time it's a short we finished shooting just a few weeks back. It's a dark toned monster-horror movie of a 8-year-old boy whom escapes a monster into the depths of the near-by forest. I'd love to see as many interpretations as possible - from a desaturated dark gloomy feel to more saturated fairy tale type stuff. I included some shots that are "easier" and some that might take a bit more effort. Looking forward on seeing what people can dig out of this material!

Thanks everyone!

-Paul

I know I'm a bit late to the party but after years of lurking, I realised I'd never registered here.

Love your grade Derek. Very talented!

Wow! Really cool stuff, guys. Makes me wonder if I should not turn to the community for the complete project instead of a local post house.

It is cool to see different interpretations of the same material and really shows the flexibility of r3d.

I might sound like an echo here but really nice work, Derek - I'd love to hear of your process.

Corey - like the two completely separate looks. I wonder though is the material pushed too far for motion?

Gavin - cool red tint to the material. The staircase looks marvelously odd

Rami - solid work as always. I've seen tons of great grades from you. Maybe the teal-orange doesn't show it's full glory in these shots but in general - I'm a fan of your work


Ben - I'm way more of a lurker myself, so welcome to the party! Don't think it ever ends over here Thanks for contributing to the grade-game. Liked how you took a different approach going towards green


In general - I'd love to hear breakdowns of peoples grades. Nice way to people to learn new stuff! Sharing is caring!

Paul, I agree with you that all of these grades are looking great. I've found a sweetspot for the RAW settings that I use on everything I do now. I then apply a Film LUT and proceed to grade from there. I've been experimenting with Adobe Speedgrade and that's what I've used for all of the grades I've posted in these "Grade my R3D" threads, something of which I think we should sticky a primary thread in Workflow or something that way we don't have 500 of these things floating around and maybe get some more people involved. Maybe a moderator, hint hint, could make that happen. But I normally use Resolve on all of the projects that come in and use the same process.

Edit: And nowadays, you are no longer limited to using your local resources. There are so many excellent people on here and elsewhere that it would be a shame to not reach out to them.
