Mononodes – REVERSE ENGINEERING THE GRADE Course

Welcome to my course, where I will be sharing insights on how to reverse engineer a grade from scratch using behind the scenes images.

These images originate from still cameras, while the movies were shot on real film or cinema cameras, each with their unique color science. Therefore, the objective of this course isn’t to perfectly match a single frame. Instead, we will focus on analyzing the scopes and creating a simple node tree to achieve a look similar to that of the original film.

We will delve into the popular “orange and teal” techniques, and I will provide my personal viewpoint on the most efficient and visually pleasing approach to producing a complementary color scheme. This includes creating a basic node tree that allows me to replicate the looks of various movies using a minimalistic approach.

The goal is not to simply imitate, but rather to examine scopes, enhance understanding of color harmony, and adopt a straightforward, efficient method. This method will enable you to work quickly and consistently achieve pleasing results for your projects.
