Entropy and how I learned to love grading.

This is a old abandoned apartment building that never got finished. Lots of textures here.

This video was learning experience for me. First time that I have used DaVinci for grading. I am a complete novice when it comes to grading so I did make a lot of mistakes.

Just like editing makes you a better cinematographer grading also makes you think a lot about what you are doing in the field.


Shot on gh2 and gh13

How do you feel like knowing about grading change your shots in the field? I am new to all that jive so I am curious about how it affected your shots.
 
Before I would be only focused on the subject, which might blind me to other issues that might be in the frame.

Now I am thinking more about the whole shot. I have also goten a feel for what you can get away with in post which makes you more confident in the field.

Grading forces you to look at everything.
 
Shot at 1:30 is great

Great use of the FOV and composition...on that particular shot it was stunning.
