Take this 5-minute color grading quiz and see how you measure up.
We all know by now about the power of color grading to give films and videos that polished cinematic look. Even better, color grading tools and techniques that were once a highly guarded science—held under tight lock and key in Hollywood post houses—are now accessible to everyone.
The draw of color grading’s potential to effectively communicate the vision and emotion of a finished film was so strong that filmmaker Denver Riddle moved from shooting to pursuing a career as a colorist. He recalls, “When I discovered color grading, I felt like it was a powerful extension of what I was capturing on camera. A way to enhance the story and one of the keys to making it look like a big Hollywood production.”
With the successful launch of several color grading tools such as LUTs and software like Color Finale, LUT Utility, and LUT Gallery, Color Grading Central wants to partner with filmmakers like you—to understand what’s holding you back and together create the next generation of color tools that will be a game changer in your filmmaking. According to Riddle, “We hear from people all the time who know how important color grading is, but are frustrated that they don’t know how to maximize the tools to get the best results.”

I really, really wish Nofilmschool were a place to avoid clickbait like this. Isn't the whole philosophy of the site that you can learn anything from an open, freely-sharing community, without feeling like "if only I had this one product my films would finally be worth watching?"
