Here\u2019s how to avoid that issue entirely.<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s surprisingly common to find\u00a0poorly colored independent films that inadvertently feature sepia-like tones in many scenes. This is almost always a result of poor technique in the color suite \u2014 and can scream amateur to any audience with a trained eye.<\/p>\n<p>More often than not, this issue is a result of <strong>pushing too much warmth into an image while color grading<\/strong> (in the shadows, mids, and highlights) and then<strong> desaturating the image afterwards<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 usually in an attempt to offset the overdone color work. This is a perfect recipe for a sepia look (if that\u2019s what you\u2019re going for) but a very poor approach to <strong>adding warmth to your image<\/strong> in a more general sense.<\/p>\n<p>In order to <strong>achieve a more natural warm look<\/strong> in your shots (without completely draining your footage of any other tones or colors) these are the steps you need to take:<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1-balance-your-image\">1.

At this point you aren\u2019t going for any type of creative look. You&#8217;re simply looking for a <strong>neutral starting point<\/strong> from which you can continue to build.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-warm-up-the-midtones\">2.

Doing so will give you a far more pleasing result when compared to pushing warmth into the shadows \u2014 or even worse, applying warmth globally to the whole image.<\/p>\n<p>There are certainly times when you should be warming up your shadows, but if you are working from a neutral starting point, <strong>warming up the mids first will set you in a much better direction<\/strong>. Doing so will add warmth to the areas you notice most (skin tones) but will leave the shadows and highlights cooler, which will help you <strong>maintain a nice amount of color contrast<\/strong> in your image.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-tweak-your-shadows-and-highlights\">3. Tweak Your Shadows and Highlights<\/h3>\n<p>Depending on how far (or not) you pushed your mids, you&#8217;ll likely need to <strong>adjust your shadows and highlights<\/strong> to complement whatever changes have been made so far. For instance, if you pushed a little too much warmth into the mids, it may have had a residual effect on your shadows\/highlights, in which case you&#8217;ll want to cool them off. With that in mind, be sure not to push your shadows too far in the cool direction.<\/p>\n<p>Unless you want a <a title=\"PremiumBeat Article\" href=\"http:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/blockbuster-looks-in-davinci-resolve-transformers\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Transformers-esque blockbuster look<\/a> with blue shadows and orange highlights, be very slight with your adjustments in the shadow department.

You should have a nice warm look from the adjustments made in step two, and the fine tuning you accomplished in step three should have helped add a noticeable\u00a0amount of color contrast. All that\u2019s really left is to <strong>adjust your saturation level<\/strong> to help everything blend in a little bit more. Depending on how saturated your image was to begin with, you may either need to<strong> dial your saturation up or down<\/strong> to get things looking just right. Nine times out of ten, I find dialing it down just slightly is the way to go.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, be weary if you feel like you need to push it way down in order to make the image look right. If that\u2019s the case, <strong>there\u2019s a good chance you have pushed things too far<\/strong> in steps two or three and might need to go back to the drawing board.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Got any color grading tricks to share?<\/strong>\u00a0Let us know in the comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When attempting to warm up footage in post, many inexperienced colorists will take a wrong turn and wind up giving their footage a sepia look.
