Theme Song by Hello Control: bit.ly/hellocontrol - Фільми й анімація
I recently worked on a commercial where the director was really stressing colors to convey story elements. It was interesting to think about that, and after watching this it just amazes me how much details goes into telling a story such as the character wearing something contrasting to draw attention, or the color difference between scenes. Always a treat to discover something new like that.
This is not a film mentioned by critics ever, but I found The Last Five Years to be a good example of telling a story with color. The original stage musical used time cards to show us where in the relationship the scene took place between the two main characters, but the film, instead of using those time cards, used warmer tones for the early, happy stages of the relationship and contrasted that with colder blues for when the scene was placed toward the end of their relationship. Increasingly warmer (almost completely orange) at the very start and almost a monotone blue for the end of it. I thought it was a brilliant use of color and a great way to cinematically give the audience a timeline without the time cards.
Whiplash is a pure master piece
Love the grading of this movie
Ollie K is a great friend of mine and ex-lecturer :) amazing to see him sharing his knowledge on the channel that started it all for me!
My mind doesn't want to believe how deliberate the color grading is. Truly Amazing
Gosh Ry, that shirt is amazingly bright. I dig it :) thanks for posting this. This was so helpful :)
Nice shirt in need of ironing :)
Such an incredible film! Loved this episode! Thank you for this.
Look forward to the podcast. I know you and your team will knock it out of the park. Best day & Best wishes to you & yours.
Hard Candy has some amazing story telling with colors!! One of my favorites!
Amazing video guys! Would love to see more content on colour theory!
i could listen to your soothing voice for hours.
cant wait for the podcast.
I enjoy these Mzed bits. Makes me want to subscribe but I'm broke.
same, their cinematograpgy breakdowns are sooo helpful
Thanks for the kind words! Keep an eye on our site, we've got a Summer sale coming up (and you can pay in instalments).
Idk where you're watching Whiplash but the dad was *definitely* wearing blue in that scene, plus he was very supportive of Andrew's drumming he just didn't want him to get hurt and he didn't understand how passionate he was about it
Such an amazing explanation! Love it!
Hope you guys do videos like this more! & longer too! Well done! Keep er up
Im still waiting the summer short film from Andrew VIDEO COPILOT!!!!!!!
Dave Phoenix how long ago is that now? I took a UA-cam break last year and you just reminded me of that myth
3 years now, since 2015 waiting for Andrew Kramer....
He said he was cancelling it cause the anticipation he felt was too great and would disappoint too many people because of the long wait and expectations
Well that is a lot longer than i thought, damn. But i understand, it was a Film Riot comment section meme, for only a little summer short project
Yes cant wait for the podcast and film riot is the best!!!
Podcast, YES!
Awesome informational video, thanks Film Riot!
Great video! Podcast? Shazam? Ohh man, couldn't be any more hyped!
A podcast?
Sweet christmas.
at 4:20 he talks about the taint of the color a bile-colored color and how the main character has to 'endure' his surroundings. Very great use of explaining color here.
This video should be titled "Why Whiplash is the greatest movie ever made"
Uncle Mikki Productions you are wise 🤘🏽
True dat.
Uncle Mikki Productions lol, its pretty good but not comparable to big masterpieces of cinema histor
YEAAAAH!!!!
I wonder if he’s wearing a red shirt for film riot 🤔
The podcast sounds amazing!!!
Bit late to this but from what I've gathered from this film and your analysis is that green seems to present obstacles or struggles. I think blue seems to present the vulnerabilities of Andrew or when he is vulnerable. And yellow presents when he's in the zone or in a moment of success. In the final scene of Andrews performance starts in blue light because Flether tricked him into doing something he doesn't know how to do. But when andrew takes over and does caravan is when the lights turn yellow. What I also noticed is that Andres shirt colour fluctuate between wearing white, black over white, and black to obviously symbolise his evolution into his obsession. And how since Fletcher also consistently where's black when he's teaching and when he isn't he wears a different colour. Andrew subconsciously tries to match this colour of black to symbolise in the end that ultimately him and his teacher are on the same page
this is a powerful tutorial. never knew that til now. its still hard to put it into work though
Very insightful in color design! 👍🏻
Also, super pumped for the podcast!
yesss...podcast is coming!!!❤
I have a podcast show like that, too. Plenty of room for more of them. Looking forward to your interviews.
I had noticed this without knowing 😂 So amazing 😍
That stain on his shirt though... reminds me of that tide commercial. Is it laundry day? xD
Can’t wait to listen to the podcast Ry!
This is awesome
Amazing!
i love this guy hes a pro with color
great stuff
I've been watching a lot of old episodes recently. I've been around from the start. Not with this channel i'm commenting from, but I've been a long time follower a long the years, there is not an episode that I haven't watched. I've seen every episode, short film, bts video and so on. I watched Filmstate when that was a thing and more-- i'm really looking forward to watch Ballistic!
Great lol, now we're going to see a bunch of people trying to follow this and making skin tones beyond over-saturated
lol
Gotta start somewhere.
You mean like Michael Bay and his "orange/red" actors :D ?
It doesn't always work, but for this it did. I think this is great to know for student filmmakers, because most student films tend to go either dead, monotonous colors or extremely oversaturated. Knowing the in-between and when to use certain techniques would be a great help.
Did you know that you are one of the favorite channel of a Turkish UA-camr called Barış Özcan. He told about you in a Live Broadcast. Turkish people will love your channel. Thanks to Barış Özcan. :)
Hi, I wanted to ask you, how do you set your camera exposure for indoor night scenes or low key indoor scenes ( with lighting) you mentioned you try to get the most in camera, do you mean you underexpose without crushing the blacks too much? I shoot with eoshd c-log 80d 2.8 lens
And another question I’ve tried all different log pictures profile and eoshd c-log is the one I prefer for color grading even if it’s not real log, should I keep the 18% middle grey around 40 ire or should I expose like neutral prolost profile in the middle?
Thank you in advance, bless you✨
Film Riot Podcast!!!!
I like your short films
Hey Ryan, where are we going to be able to listen to your podcasts? Soundcloud?
I was just noticing this sort of thing while watching Defenders a couple weeks ago
I wouldn't say the beginning has correct skin tones or white balance, there is a definite green tint in the WB. I find a lot of films go towards a more green bias in the white balance even when the colors are supposed to be normal. You really only ever see perfect white balance in reality television or comedies.
"Realistic" colors in movies for the last 15 years or so have been either grungy browns and greens or cold, steely blues.
It's extremely rare for whatever reason to see anything that actually resembles reality anymore.
Yeah, using true white makes it feel less cinematic for some reason. But I think he was just trying to make a point in how it didn't have aggressive tinting like the other scenes.
Another good color direction is the clothing in baby driver.
I was on board with the podcast as soon as he said Andrew Kramer
The red-headed drummer is named Ryan Connolly in the film!
Nice
LOVE YOOU
Here's an idea... Bring back FilmState!!
Can you make a video about subjectivity scenes
Where can we find the podcasts?
Please make video on film marketing.
I need it.
You can't watch the whole video without any *spoilers* . First watch the amazing movie, then the amazing video.

Why has ryan never been on Movie Fights???
Hi film riot
I watch much fewer podcasts than I would like because....you know...time.That said, I'm definitely going to watch the Film Riot podcast.
Whiplash was such a gorgeous movie
How can i work with Triunefilms? i live here in Texas and would love to be part of the team
Commander Shepperd This isn't an official comment but based on other YT channels probably have good connections or have a really good CV and apply while they are hiring.
xWood4000, do you know where i should apply?
Commander Shepperd No idea, probably only possible to know if they say publicly that they are hiring.
ok thanks! im going to keep trying :(
Kek (笑´・艸・) Cool episode guys !!! I really liked the way a dude said saturated color implies “Unhealthy” or “Disgusting” relationship.
I'm a simple man, I see Whiplash on the thumbnail and I click
Bring back film state!!!
WHY HAVEN’T YOU MADE A FEATURE YET??!!
This shirt lol ;)
Was the thumbnail Whiplash, or did I see it wrong? Nvm, I'm pretty sure I saw it right, because it was one of the main focuses of the video.
1:25 before the video begins.. 🙄
WHEN is ballistic coming???
Are there any good FREE (or really inexpensive) editing programs that allow color grading for beginners? I would need one that can run on a lower end PC. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
Short answer NO. For color grading there is Resolve free full version, but needs a good deal of power. The same goes for the great HitFilm Express. Also free but.... you need a good GPU.
Thanks for the response. I currently have VSDC free video editor. Is that any good?
I have a 500 gb hard drive and 8 gb of ram on my laptop, so you know.
VSDC is considered a good free editor. Your laptop is very minimal for Video Editing but will work with VSDC. Professional video editors that do FX and Color grading ALL recommend more memory and a video card (GPU) with a lot of power. Onboard video on most laptops and PCs just are not powerful enough to render without lag and stuttering. I am not an expert by any stretch, this is just what I have learned as I am getting started in video editing.
Thanks for the advice. Even if you are not an expert, you certainly know more than I. :)
Hey guys, I'm interested in micro-budget filmmaker solutions to not having much money for equip. but still are able to

..."when I soar it".
He looks like he's sitting in a world from "Her".
*Colour is the correct way to spell Colour :-)
Very informative video, disliked because Ryan's shirt is wrinkly...
Just kidding I gave it a thumbs up.
Your hair is more grey now.
Hey Film Riot! loved the video, Im a 19 year old filmmaker and am trying to get some feedback on my last short film! I would love if anyone wanted to check it out and leave me some feedback, Thanks guys hope you enjoy "Lake Crest Drive"
I LOVE you guys so much and how you teach film but honestly I don't like when you show other peoples teachings. I subscribe to film riot because I like the way you guys do things. I am always really dissapointed when I click on a FilmRiot video and it's you just saying "Watch This" I will always watch every video you put out but to me I feel like I lose a week of Film Riot.
I can understand that. Thanks for the feedback!
"John Wick 2 and 3"???
