Welcome to my course, where I will guide you through reverse engineering a grade from scratch using behind-the-scenes images. These images are captured with still cameras, while the films were shot on various cinema cameras, each with its own color science. The goal of this course isn’t to perfectly match a single frame. Instead, we will focus on analyzing the scopes and building a simple node tree to achieve a look similar to the original film.

We will explore the popular “orange and teal” techniques, and I will share my perspective on the most effective and visually pleasing ways to create a complementary color scheme. This includes developing a basic node tree that allows us to replicate the looks of different movies using a minimalist approach.The objective is not just to imitate, but to examine scopes, deepen your understanding of color harmony, and adopt a straightforward, efficient method. This approach will enable you to work quickly and consistently.
