Film Look Challenge Winner 🎬 Let’s Recreate It
Earlier this week, I posted three different film looks and asked you to vote.
Film Look #3 (Sinners) won.
So in this video, I walk through recreating that look step by step inside Resolve.
We break it down the way it should be broken down:
✅ Match exposure and contrast first
✅ Analyze skin tones and background separation
✅ Use curves for hue control
✅ Add subtle glow
✅ Finish with film grain
The goal wasn’t to perfectly copy it. The goal was to understand how to think through recreating a look.
Now it’s your turn.
🏆 CHALLENGE:
Download the reference still and practice clip from the classroom, or use your own footage, and recreate this look yourself.
Post your result in the comments below this post by next Saturday. 👇
You can:
✅ Use the provided practice video clip
✅ Use the reference still only
✅ Or use your own clip entirely
What matters is that you try to match the tonal balance, skin warmth, cool background, and overall contrast structure.
This walkthrough video will also live in the classroom for archiving purposes, along with:
✅ The reference image
✅ The downloadable PowerGrade
✅ The practice clip
Let’s see what you come up with.
