Colour Science & How Cameras See Light
Why footage looks flat out of camera, what LOG means, colour spaces explained simply and setting up your DaVinci Resolve project correctly.
Colour Correction — The Foundation
Fixing exposure, white balance, contrast and skin tones. Using scopes — waveform, parade and vectorscope — to make decisions with your eyes and your instruments.
Node-Based Grading in DaVinci Resolve
Understanding the node tree, serial nodes, parallel nodes and layer nodes. Building a clean, organised grade that is easy to adjust and hand off.
Creating Cinematic Looks
Building a moody film look, a warm golden hour grade and a clean commercial style — each from scratch, understanding every decision you are making.
Working With LUTs
Applying technical and creative LUTs, customising them to your footage, and creating and exporting your own .cube LUT files to use on future projects.
Grading for Different Formats
How your approach changes between a music video, a brand film and a documentary. Matching shots, maintaining consistency across a timeline and grading for emotion.

Your Instructor
Brian
Director & Lead Instructor, Zoe Films KE
Brian is the founder of Zoe Films KE and has spent years grading real productions — music videos, brand campaigns, documentaries and street films right here in Nairobi. He built this course because he could not find one that taught colour grading the way it is actually done on set and in post.
This is not a course built around slides and theory. It is built around footage, decisions and doing the work.
“Color grading is not a finishing touch. It is a storytelling decision. This course will change how you see every frame you shoot.”
— Brian, Zoe Films KE
