Adobe Speedgrade overview

Speedgrade works by applying primary and secondary color correction layers to an image.

Here I added a primary grade boosting reds in the highlights, greens in the mids and blues in the darks as well as more contrast and saturation. Then I applyed a secondary corection to both the skin and the lips to make them more natural. After that a added another primary to bring the whites back to white and black back to black.

Here I added another secondary corection to the branches in the back to get the color tint out of it.

This look would be saved out and applyed as a adjustment layer over already color corrected clips.

Technicolor Color Grading Test

So the Technicolor picture style is great for giving you a better dynamic range on your canon camera but it gets darks really noisy. At any rate here are some color grading test. Generally I used the waveform dragging my blacks down to black and whites to white then I would go from there. Highlights are yellowy while blacks a blue.

Color Grade

A quick color grade test (two 3 way color corrector things Stacked on top of each other one to correct the exposure and another to correct color of the corrected exposure (as opposed to using one that would correct the 3 channels using the factor of the uncorrected exposure)

Storm Disaster

I might of shot some of these clips but at least it was my camera. Cut by my friend may be color graded by him as well I don't know
