Your comment is dismissing the entire field of color correction. That is not just a thing for this project, it is a part of literally every movie and TV show you watch and has been since the inception of colour film.

I did not intend to dismiss color correction as a whole, my bad if it came across as such.

  Perhaps the reason you're dismissing it is because it is so ubiquitous (and well done) you have never really noticed that it was even a thing? :)

    It could be the case, yes. My friend studied and works in optics (physics & CS) but we have not talked about it, not even sure color correction is something related to optics but could be. Perhaps the time to ask has come now. :P

      Usually color correction happens in post-production, where optics are developed pre-production. Definitely, poorly designed lenses will have color casting and fringing issues, but color correction is largely about balancing colors across various lighting conditions / sources. (Think Daylight vs. Warm bulbs. Now think about how many lights are in a football stadium.)

Are they dismissing it, or are they just ignorant (which is totally OK) and need to be shown the way? They've literally asked if it's "really important", perhaps we could answer that question?
- johnisgood 2y ago
  In all fairness, I edited my comment, I did say "I don't think it's important", but it was indeed due to ignorance, as well as ask if it really is important.

    Might be, or is?

      I know of a great way that you could find out whether your questions are answered in the article!

        Sorry, didn't get to the end of your comment. What's the answer?

I got into color grading still photos last summer. In my case it is not "correction" to the truth but rather making a set of images conform to a brand image. (I had a day when I went out to a beauty spot and packed the wrong lens, I made up a story about another photographer who had a camera from an alternate timeline and developed a method to take distinctive pictures with a cheap lens) Funny the only kind of picture that I don't color grade are sports photos because I don't want to mess up the color of the jerseys, though if I was careful in how I did it, it would be OK. I have been struggling to develop a reliable process for making red-cyan anaglyphs and one step of the process would be a color grade that moves colors away from reds and cyans that would all be in one eye or the other eye. I've got to figure out how to make my own LUT cubes to do it. https://resolve.cafe/developers/luts/ https://resolve.cafe/developers/luts/

  Sounds interesting, is there somewhere we can see your work?
