Color grading in DaVinci Resolve
During the course, you will acquire the necessary skills for independent work in the DAVINCI RESOLVE program.
Color grading is the adjustment of color components to change the overall color and visual style of an image. DAVINCI RESOLVE is a multifunctional cinema color correction system. Unique in its functionality, BlackMagic DaVinci enables all users to experience the power of the best color grading system.
HOW IS THE COURSE ORGANIZED?
The course starts with the very basics: color theory, the main stages of color correction, working with source materials.
The course consists of lectures and practical sessions.
Classes are held in a computer class equipped with MacPro.
There are no special requirements for the level of training of students.

Nowadays, VFX artists use a variety of programs to create high-quality images that are difficult to distinguish from reality. For 3D modeling, animation and rendering – Maya, 3ds Max (wider range of modeling tools), Blender (free), ZBrush. For video post-processing – Adobe After Effects, Final Cut Pro and Nuke.
If you look at it, PC games are all VFX. But in the last couple of years, game technology has begun to actively penetrate the visual effects industry for film and television. Modern game engines, VR and tools built on these technologies allow to reproduce fairly realistic graphics in real time right during filming, thereby greatly simplifying filming and reducing the time for the production of final graphics. This process is called Virtual Production. And we also teach some of these aspects on our program.
