Post-Production : Helping Directors & Editors by Sayantan Adhikary

Helping Directors & Editors

Hey everyone!

As a certified colorist working with global clients in film, music videos & branded content, I’m curious to hear how others approach color.

Personally, I rely heavily on custom PowerGrades, LUTs, and a clean DaVinci Resolve workflow to speed things up — especially under tight deadlines.

✅ I offer 1-on-1 consults for colorists starting out

✅ My custom LUTs are built for real-world results (not just YouTube hype)

✅ PowerGrade is available 

Discussion points:

 • What’s your go-to approach when grading fast-turnaround projects?

 • Do you build your looks from scratch or rely on LUTs/PowerGrades?

 • Any tricks that save you time but keep the grade cinematic?

Would love to hear your thoughts — let’s share and learn from each other!

Hey Sayantan Adhikary, thanks for sharing this post. I personally never got the swing of colors however I'm getting back into film and would like to get better at it. Any suggestions on where to start for someone who is fairly new?
