Colour Grading: Tips, Trick and Other Helpful stuff.
Okay so I've always been interested in the process of colour grading and have just recently started dabbling with Combustion.
I'm looking to move on with maybe Adobe After Affects or something similar to possibly do colour grading jobs for short filmmakers etc in the Brisbane, Australia area.
Any tips or information I should know? Anything at all will help.

Yeah. Learn to read scopes. That's where CC starts.
Call all the post places in town and see if they'll let you trade some AE or combustion work (free) to sit with their daVinci artist.
I'm currently tech editing the sequel to the book mentioned above (and doing a DVD on Apple's Color.)
But 'work' in the field is tough to come by:
First, most productions don't know they need Color correction.
The ones that do, will pay for it (but will go to post houses for it.)
They'll often combine the color correction step with onlining a piece.
Last, 'low cost' 'auto' correctors are now part of most NLEs.
Feel free to drom me a line if you have questions.
