Color Grading: RAW vs LOG in Film & Video

If you’ve always wondered what the difference between RAW, LOG and a normal camera shooting profile is then you’re in the right place. 

In this course we’ll go over: 

• What is RAW?
• What is LOG?
• What is a normal camera color profile?
• What is Dynamic Range? And more!

Not only will we learn what all these mean but we’ll actually look through footage and compare and contrast what’s doable in a grade when you shoot using any of these modes. By the end of the class you’ll have a clear understanding of why you may use one over the other, what’s possible in the grade and have one more skill in your toolset on your journey to becoming a successful colorist.
