I've never done professional color grading before. All my footage is HLG2100. I kept my ISO at 400 or 500. Don't recall exact shutter speed, I might tone it down a couple steps for any reshoots though. Unless that's a bad idea.

I am going for a warm color palette, but don't want to blow anything out too much. Does it feel oversaturated?

Some of the shots are slightly inconsistent, since warmer, since more violet, some higher in contrast, etc. It's noticeable enough to me. What's the best way to align the footage to make to appear like it's all part of the same cohesive scene?

I played around with LUTs and curves for a few hours, but honestly I have no clue what I'm doing. I noticed a few things I wanted to mask out, but the atmosphere of the shots actually makes it harder to hide imperfections since the scene lighting is constantly flickering.

Using Premiere Pro. I can pull up After Effects but it's just so slow to edit there. PP is already at 100% CPU utilization most of the time and I have a threadripper.

Any seasoned tips to make my life here easier?

For context, this is a music video. Nothing festival worthy, but I would still like the final output to be as good as I can get it.

Thanks!

Pushing Execution Commentary aside, which I still feel has a lot more in common with the earlier albums like Showbiz/OOS, etc...

I would say that the song that sounds unlike anything else they've ever made, is Prague.

If it weren't for Matt singing, I would have never guessed in a million years this was a Muse song. They never made anything else quite like it.

Other thoughts?
