Three channels, every week
One real tip, not a tutorial
A single practical idea pulled from an actual project. The kind of thing I’d tell you if we were sitting at the panel together, not a 40 minute video.
My mistakes, so you can skip them
Underpricing a job because the project looked exciting. Trusting my eyes over the waveform. Being too loose with a qualifier and losing a shot. I’ve made them so you don’t have to.
Real projects, real reasoning
Occasional breakdowns of actual work, including a Bentley Bentayga grade, and why a certain look worked when the obvious choice wouldn’t have.
- Everyone should get the chance to learn color grading. Not just the people who can afford a mentor or an expensive course.
- I've made my share of mistakes. A career has its ups and downs, like anyone's. That's what I actually have to offer — not a masterclass where I play the expert, but what I got wrong and what I learned from it.
- This isn’t about me being better than you. I’d rather build a community that's happy to learn together than an audience that shows up to be lectured.
10,000+ people already follow the grades on Instagram. This newsletter is where I actually explain the reasoning behind them.
Then you’ll probably like Thursdays.
