You should work/study colors your own way in practice. I watched tons of YouTube videos, tried many-many LUTs, I was signed for a color-grading digital course - all these learnings give a solid foundation of basic understanding and knowledge of colors, but when it comes to practice, you always starting from zero. For me it took years to come to the point when I am quite happy with colors I can achieve in Davinci. Hey, thank you for your feedback! I must say color grading is always a very long and personal journey. I'd love to hear your thoughts! I hope you'll like it! Overall, happy with the result! We made the entire music video in just 48 hours (we had some severe time pressure), from creative idea to final upload on YouTube. I had a gaffer help me create light scenes, but for the rest, I was pretty much alone in the field. For the shooting, I didn't have any camera assistant – basically a one-man show.

Even though I have Crane 3 Lab, which fits a heavy camera even with Sigma 18-35 lens well, I didn't find a perfect solution for follow-focus and reasonable camera control when you work solo. We didn't use any stabilisation during the shooting itself, but over years and years of DOP experience, I learned how to balance my body to make camera movements less shaky – aka steady cam without any equipment haha.

Made post-production in Davinci Resolve 17 – some film emulation colour grading, stabilisation, cropping, etc. Last week I shot a music video entirely with my BMPCC4K, Sigma 18-35 lens and wide-angle 7.5mm f4.0 lens.
