I’m a beginner in color grading and I’d really appreciate your constructive feedback on this personal project. I put together a split-screen showing the raw S-Log3 (top) and my current grade (bottom).
I feel like my shot matching is weak right now. There's not much unity between the cold, snowy street shots and the indoor zoo shots with artificial lighting.
I want to tie it all together with a cohesive look, but I’m afraid that throwing a global tint/look over the timeline will ruin the white balance I just spent so much time fixing.
How do you usually approach shot matching across completely different lighting environments without destroying your foundational balance? Also, please point out any mistakes you see with my contrast levels or skin tones!
Thanks in advance!
