ICA 101: An Introduction to Colorist Strategies with DaVinci Resolve 12
A great introduction to Resolve 12 software, this class is ideal for first time users with little to no Resolve or colorist experience. This class mixes the operational side of Resolve with some practical real world training on workflows, basic color theory, grading approaches and techniques.
Among many other topics, students will learn:
• A complete demo of the system, looking at every area of the new software and how it works with the control surface
• Basic color theory, looking at the waveform, vectorscope and histogram as well as how different colors interact with increased saturation/contrast; why some colors complement each other more than others
• Using the pan, tilt, zoom and rotate controls to explore how far you can zoom in on a film or digital image; Keyframing in the timeline and auto tracking
• Resolve workflows including Film, Red, Canon, Arri Alexa, Sony F3 and other digital files
• How to create looks and styles within Resolve to get a project started, including orange and teal, cross process, bleach bypass, Schindler’s red coat, duotones and day for night

ICA 201: Advanced Colorist Strategies with DaVinci Resolve 12
This class is designed around a small, conformed sequence that students can keep as a take away. Eagles will work through the project from start to finish with students, looking not only at Resolve, but also using general colorist strategies. Students will be able to keep the project and stills, a great way to continue your learning. Among many other topics, students will learn:
• Starting with dailies, grade a look for editing from the RAW camera files
• Render ProRes or DNxHD for offline editing, H264 for the web
• Bring in audio .wav then compare the conform with the offline reference movie
• “Conform vs. Bake” – what are the pros and cons of each workflow?
• Primary grading – three-way color corrector, Curves and LOG grading
• Look creation - how to preview a look through the whole timeline using the split screen mode

ICA 205: Looks and Matching with Resolve
This two-day workshop is a creative class that concentrates on how color correction can bring your movie or sequence to life. We will review movie sequences, discussing how the color and mode enhanced the film. You will learn how to create the traditional Looks’ from movies, TV commercials and music videos. We will then focus on matching those ‘Looks,’ not only shot to shot, but also how to apply the look across a whole scene.
Warren will work with different cut sequences, each showcasing his techniques to get the best from each version. One will be a TVC beauty type commercial shot on the BMCC. This is great for doing very soft/mist type looks. He will also demonstrate with a war sequence shot on Sony F3. It’s fantastic for a "Saving Private Ryan" Bleach Bypass grade, a hot jungle look, or the classic Day for Night feel "House of Cards" reconstruction, based on the original scene shot on Arri Alexa. This will include dialogue and reenact from the original scene from the classic Netflix series. He will also address how to deal with the different challenges presented by each sequence. Students then get the chance to do the same in a timed situation, like a real session but with Warren playing the client’s role. Students are also encouraged to bring their own footage to work on and share with the class.
