Losing Contrast and Saturation of a show on TV screen.

Hello there. I'm Alan and for the first time in my life I work as a colorist for a TV show. I noticed that the grade on the show looks less saturated and constratie while airing on a TV. It desaturates the oranges way more than the other colors. Do some of my you the reason for this phenomenon?

David Kleve

The sensors in the camera array can only approximate what we see. I believe there a quite a few adjustments occur to get the colors to match what the eye actually does see. Film had the same issues wh...

Are you coloring to broadcast standards? That's your deliverable. Unfortunately each device - TV, smartphones, computer, tablet - can make the colors, image look slightly different. TVs have different settings which affect the image.

Happy with my color-grading

I'm really happy with this color-grading work I finished for my college project. Although I had studied and tried it before, it was the first time I did a complete project.

I just wanted to share it

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Mirielen Arantes. Congratulations on doing color-grading for the first time on a complete project! Is it a short film?

Ashley Renee Smith

Great job, Mirielen Arantes! Is coloring something that you're hoping to continue pursuing?

Sam Sokolow

Thanks for sharing Mirielen. I'm a novice editor who works on Premiere when I get the chance and I find color grading to be one of the more nuanced skills there is. Great work!

Bin Userkaf

Truly amazing. I adore the colors!

Niki H

Good job Mirielen! This job takes lots of practice! One of my friends is a colorist and she can watch footage and tell you who colored it. You develop skill but also a style.

Deadpool vfx

I just saw the coolest video!

Have you ever wondered how Deadpool moves his face in the original movie? Well I hadn't! I had assumed that the team had painstakingly motion tracked every single shot in the movie and replaced the mask with a cgi mask with cartoonish animation. ~~ WRONG!

It turns out tha...

Post-Production is huuuuge

If you visit the Post-production lounge often or you wish you visited more, I've got a question for you:

What areas of post production are you interested in?

Are you a picture editor, and all you care about is how the picture's worth a thousand words?
