Look Inspiration – Colorized Film Look

Day 21: 25 Insights in 25 Days Holiday Marathon

Back again with a new look to share with you guys!

This look has evolved from trying many different things that are all combined to make a pretty nice look!

I was trying to create a soft painterly look with diffused highlights and naturally drifted towards a colorized film look.

I’ve included my DRX files below for you to try at home.

We will be taking this footage from here :

You will also need to grab the free Gorilla Grain sample here and have that in your media pool.
