Color grading isn't contrast and saturation.

1. Balance first. Fix exposure and white balance.
2. Separate skin from the background.
3. Then add the look.

Most people start at step 3.

Things nobody tells you about running a one-person agency:

- Half the job is email
- Your rate is a filter, not a price
- Personal work brings the best clients
- Say no more than you say yes

Apple is putting MotionVFX inside Final Cut: thousands of templates, tracking and grading tools for $129 a year.

Tools keep getting cheaper. A look that's recognisably yours doesn't.

Build the look first. Then pick the software.

I wish I had subscribers here, could be nice to talk to them and give them advice on Photography and Videography :)

[Allegra Jacchia @allegrajacchia]

Subscriber-only group chats are here. A great way to give your most loyal followers a space just for them and build a tighter community.

This is in beta for creators with 800 Subscribers or fewer, and we're hoping to open it up to everyone soon.

Set it up now in Creator Studio > Subscriptions.

@jtaby Yeah the colors and the tones

[Dylan @DylanCalluy]

Gear I'd buy again tomorrow: Leica Q3.
Gear that's collecting dust: Sony A7IV.

What's yours?

[Dylan @DylanCalluy]

@jtaby Yeah I’m doing more photo work with my Leica Q3 and eventually I’m thinking of switching my entire Sony kit to Leica or Fujfilm

[Dylan @DylanCalluy]

Crazy 🤩

Editors are handing whole cuts to AI agents now. Fine by me.

But the agent only cuts as well as the person briefing it. If you can't say why a shot goes there, it can't either.

Learn the edit first. Then automate it.

@ForeverKripto Leica Q3 :)

Japan 🇯🇵

[Dylan @DylanCalluy]

The goal is to have my @AzukiTCG cards signed by @steamboy33 or @Zagabond and graded 🤩

[AZUKI @AzukiManga]

The moment Zero marks Shao in a fire pact.
The first page @steamboy33 ever drew for AZUKI.

AZUKI Chapter 2: PACT is out now.

[Dylan @DylanCalluy]

Absolutely perfect 🤯

[Hassan @nutlope]

100% free & open source.

[Dylan @DylanCalluy]

Founders are swapping $250 UGC videos for AI-assisted clips they film themselves. Good.

Cheap content just got cheaper. That pushes brands to pay properly for the work that has to look like nobody else's.

Know which market you're in.

[Dylan @DylanCalluy]

Great for photographers 🤩

Rain is free light ☔️
Shoot low, find a puddle, expose for the highlights.

[Dylan @DylanCalluy]

Apple shows its first touchscreen MacBook Pro tomorrow. OLED, true blacks, Dynamic Island.

For grading on the road that OLED panel is the real news. The touch part? I'll keep my fingerprints off my monitors.

Would you tap your timeline?

[Dylan @DylanCalluy]

@gilesvangruisen Yeah definitely getting a Contax T3, a Leica M6 and a Mamiya 7II one day 😛

But for now I was looking into a Pentax MZ-S

[Dylan @DylanCalluy]

Looking into buying my first own film camera 🎞️

Which one should I get?

Preferably AF but rangefinder can as well.

[Dylan @DylanCalluy]

Modern films don't look flat because of digital. They look flat because everyone shoots safe for post.

Decide the look before you roll: motivated practicals, real contrast, shadows you're allowed to lose.
