Out Now - Creative Color Grading with Apple Color
creative-color-grading-web-2Curious Turtle is happy to announce the immediate availability of their new training course, Creative Color Grading with Apple Color.

Color grading is an essential part of every project and Apple Color brings you the toolset to give your footage the final shine.  You deserve more than "button pushing" training, so Creative Color Grading with Apple Color takes you beyond the basics of "how" and into the "what" and the "why" of color grading.

The aim of this course is to take you through the process of problem-solving and designing various grades that match the issues people face when working with Apple Color.  These include working with difficult footage, matching the narrative needs of the footage with color design and mastery of the ColorFX Room and LUTs.

More than EIGHT HOURS of Training and Techniques to Take You to the Next Level

This in-depth course, hosted by Ben Heusner Brownlee is designed to quickly bring you up to speed and then show advanced techniques that open up the power of the application.  We use a "Project Model" for our exercises, so you get to solve both common and complex problems that you will face when doing correction and grading work.  Across THIRTEEN PROJECTS and over EIGHT HOURS, you'll discover new skills that will add real value to your own projects.

Creative Color Grading with Apple Color focuses, of course, on Apple Color.  Although their are small trips into Adobe Photoshop, this software is not needed.  All footage and Color Projects (where appropriate) are included so you can follow along at your own pace.  Color projects are created in Color V1.5 and will open incorrectly in Color V1.

This course is designed primarily for people who have some experience either in Apple Color or another color grading application.  The first three exercises are created to make sure that everyone is up to the same level, before continuing onto the more involved projects.

Just Like Being in the Room

All recordings are made at full HD, 1920x1080 resolution, so you get the clearest, sharpest view of the action.  Coupled with that, the vast majority of the included sample shots are also Apple ProRes 1080P.

So What Do You Get?

  • Apart from the thirteen tutorials, you'll also get the video material to work along with.  Check out the course outline to see exactly what files are included.
  • All the Apple Color project files are included where appropriate.  So if you get lost, you can work backwards and dissect where you went wrong.
  • Access to email support.  That's right.  If you have a question about an exercise after completing our course, send over a mail and we'll get right back to you.
