Description

This Introduction Course

In the last 3 courses we've focused on the layout of both the color page, as well as DR in general. In this course we'll dive deeper into the actual craft of correcting and grading your footage. Note, this is not a course based on a specific grade, but rather multiple techniques that will help you understand DR17, so you can create things yourself (a lot more fun). Get your pen and paper ready, and let's start coloring!

What will you learn?

We'll talk about the different camera profiles- and which is better for grading. But also how you can correct your footage to prep for grading. Once all that is out of the way, we'll start with basic grading techniques. Im sure that after this course you will be able to treat any kind of clip that comes your way with ease.

Who am I?

My name is Sjoerd (a very common Dutch name that is quite hard to pronounce for everyone outside of our tiny country). I started shooting skateboarding videos back when I was about 14-years-old which eventually evolved into the things I do today. Right now, I work as a cinematographer based in Holland, but luckily shooting everywhere in Europe.

My main passion lays in documentary filmmaking. The art of telling someone's story through beautiful and powerful images is amazing. I also have a strong passion for extreme sports, like snowboarding, surfing, skateboarding and climbing. A lot more about me can be found on my YouTube channel, check the 'useful links' section if you're interested.

Instructor's Courses

Hi all,

I started out as a kid, filming my buddies skateboarding. I was that kid who still tried nailing the kickflip, while my friends flipped down 8 stairs already. This, though, gave me the opportunity to film what they did and, in doing so, get better at it. I quickly discovered a talent for finding compositions and searching for interesting angles to improve the shot.

Now, many years later, I hardly ever film skateboarding. I do, however, practice the amazing art form of filmmaking every day.

Another big passion of mine is to teach others the craft I've taught myself over the last 15 years. YouTube is a great resource for me, but Skillshare enables me to go more in-depth about important topics. So, I'm glad you found me here!

Enjoy the courses I so carefully put together for you and, of course, I'd love to hear your feedback!
