    Colourist · Teaching since 2019

    Noor Adeyemi

    Colour, light and the edit, taught the way the job is actually done.

    I grade features and commercials for a living and teach the whole job, in order, with the boring parts left in. Every course is one purchase: watch forever, keep the files, get every update.

    What Colour Grading Foundations teaches

    For editors and filmmakers who grade their own work and want to stop guessing

    • Read any frame by eye and on the scopes before touching a control
    • Balance and match a scene so nobody notices you were there
    • Build a look from a reference still and save it as a LUT that behaves
    • Grade skin first, and know why
    • Deliver a grade that survives the client’s laptop

    From people who took the courses

    I had watched a hundred grading videos and still could not match two shots. Module two fixed that in an afternoon.
    Tomasz WierzbickiWedding filmmaker, Kraków
    The lighting masterclass paid for itself on the first job. I stopped guessing and started placing.
    Ayesha RahmanDocumentary DP, Dhaka
    Mentorship is the best money I spend each month. Notes on my actual cuts, from someone who does this for real.
