Jordan Lee Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I'm sure you've all seen this kind of low-contrast, desaturated teal/orange commercial colour grade before, but I can't quite seem to get the look right on my own. Obviously a lot of it is how it's shot and with what kind of lighting and camera, but what kind of steps would you personally take (using Lumetri in Premiere for example) to work toward this kind of aesthetic? I've tried a mix of lifting the blacks/shadows, bringing down the highlights, lowering the contrast, playing with the curves, but everything I try just looks cheap next to something like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikkor Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 You could try a low contrast lens (vintage lens) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I really don't think it is a grade at all. I think it is just a SLog 2, CLog, etc. OOC to be honest. Probably the reason you can't get a grade something like it. Nothing written in stone you even Have to grade a in camera Log. It might be modified a bit but maybe not..

TwoScoops Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 It's not just the grade. It's what it was shot on, probably Alexa, F55, whatever, and the way they are lighting it. (i.e. some of those interiors they are likely bouncing a lot of fill, which obv drops the contrast.) kaylee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelsinkiZim Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I see a few techniques but imo I would call the general look low-key lighting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-key_lighting I often find commercials fall into either high key beauty or this. it’s a look camera peoples tend to shoot on Reds, but I guess every cinema camera with good dynamic range can do it. however, Kendy Ty does it with a T2i? I would look for those keywords + resolve tutorial etc on the inter webs. At least that’s where I would start, but I am certain the is more to it than a grade. silhouette, noir lighting etc kaylee and Trek of Joy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
