It’s not a super polished piece you would work on for weeks or months — that would be unrealistic to put on video. Instead it is a very good example of a production work you can produce in a couple of days. The only little detail used a ready-made model for is the vase with flowers — the rest is modeled from scratch and captured on video.

In this 90 minute tutorial, Alexis Van Hurkman walks you through a wide variety of techniques he uses as a professional colorist to create stylized visual treatments. Designed for students with a basic understanding of DaVinci Resolve, this tutorial eschews a paint-by-numbers approach, instead providing an informal exploration of how to customize the types of looks frequently asked for by clients to create grades that are unique to the project at hand. The emphasis here is on the colorist's creative process, rather then detailed technical instruction. In the process, you'll learn how to apply different color washes to specific regions of image tonality, how to create variations on undertone and bleach bypass looks, how to emulate and customize cross-processing effects, how to preserve skin tones within extreme stylizations, how to enhance your look with subtle glow and bloom effects, different methods of constructing monochrome looks suited to specific color channel combinations, and more!
