• Dan briefs you on a Black & White Tri-X look. If you grade to his brief and post in the comments, he'll play 'client' and offer feedback.
• I had a request from a couple of Mixing Light members to bring back the Grading Challenges so here we are and we are looking at building a dirty Kodak Tri-X Film Stock inspired look.
• I love dishing out a brief and seeing how every single one of us will come up with something totally different.
• If you’ve never taken part in one before please do this time!
• It’s essentially me role-playing as the client and setting a brief for the grade and also giving feedback on your attempts in the comments section
• I also wrap up things by doing a video Insight with the same footage and comparing my looks to yours.
• In a slight change from the usual format, I’ve actually included my attempt at the look in Part 1. I’d still urge you to try your own version for fun before watching my grade but if you don’t have the time you can freely enjoy my look building.
