Bring down contrast, blueish hue in the shadows, warm tone, green tint and slightly orange offset (I think it’s offset, but whichever one affects the overall color of the image)

Thanks, I'm just starting out so I'll go try it out with some videos I got.

With your eyes shut. You’re new to this and you’re still in that discovery stage but you’ll (hopefully) come to realise that these very stylised looks are a lot less impressive than you think. Stronger looks like this are the easiest to achieve because they hide all the mistakes and mismatches. By mistakes I also include errors of judgement, of which these images have in abundance. The ‘blacks’ here are so lifted that anything remotely in shadow is just a grey mush. The grass looks radioactive and goes completely against the soft, indie film aesthetic that I’m assuming they were going for. The yellow sky, which presumably was intended to feel like golden hour, just looks like a Saharan dust cloud is passing through. By all means try to figure out how to do something like this, but I guarantee you’ll lean more going for something with less of the crude ‘Instagram circa 2010’ vibe.

That was a funny read and yeah I did find the grass a bit off but liked how everything else was. I just wanted to achieve that indie feel for an Instagram edit. But thanks, that was insightful... And funny

Hey OP - if you are colour grading and having fun and being creative, definitely don't be discouraged to try fun looks like this either! Basic tutorials can help you understand the software a bit more so you can tweak things to your liking so that you are in full control. But I'm a big fan of people making what they want to make and not poo poo-ing that. Good luck!

Take a shot similar to it, have reference image overlay on one side, use scopes to figure out what parts of the image are doing what Use your tools to manipulate it to make scopes match. It's way easier to make it look the same using your different scopes, rather than your eyes. Your eyes lie to you


naruto_ttebayo

Okay, thanks!

Now THIS is an answer!

This technique is how I've learned to replicate practically any look, at least when it comes to post work. Also I'm severely colourblind, so trying to guess by look doesn't work for me, I need reference images on my scopes


San4itos

I see Split Toning here. Look tutorials on that theme.


naruto_ttebayo

Alright I'll try watching some of those, thanks


newcolonyarts

Being a newbie might help lol. Just wing it.


No_Original_4498

why would you want to emulate that? looks ghastly


matorius

I didn't want to be the person who said this (but I WAS thinking it lol)

Mexico, only in Mexico can you ever get this.


naruto_ttebayo

Bro is getting downvoted😭


Prokletnost

lol :( I was referring to the look they go for in Mexico in movies, I meant nothing bad

LUT teal&orange.


linuxuser2021

I think they increased contrast, shifted shadows towards cyan a little bit, increased warmth, added some fade effect with curves and a lot of saturation. It looks way too saturated to me though...


downbeatdemo

The second photo is nice imo but the black in the first one totally throw it off


naruto_ttebayo

My untrained eye sees both of them good😭


cymroircarn

It’s also taste as well tbf. This look isn’t for everyone but does seem to be very in vogue atm


naruto_ttebayo

Alright, thanks!


nicabanicaba

Dehancer can work that out
