ColoristJEAN-CLÉMENT SORET @ MPC 

Long-term Mixing Light members probably know how much I love Jean-Clement’s work. He’s my favourite colourist and pretty much wins everything here in the UK or has done at some stage.

He’s graded feature films, countless commercials and continues to stay on the bleeding edge of grading trends.

I’m going to speak about his latest award-winning commercial above and what we can learn from it and take to our own everyday grades.

In the video Insight below I’ll take a look at

  • How Sharp It Is
  • Lack Of Grain
  • Consistent Look Throughout But Time Still Passes
  • What The Typical Look For This Era Is
  • Soften/Sharpen Tool
  • Making It Work On Some Other Footage

Now, let’s jump to the video and see if I can get inspired!
