ANTWERP
The Diamond City
The Power of Color Grading
In September 2021 I shot one of my first films; ‘Antwerp - The Diamond City’. A film that I ended up color grading multiple times. This was the original ‘look’ filmed straight out of the camera.
The first attempt at color grading
The look I ended up with on the first version of my film ‘Antwerp - The Diamond City’. The colors were intended to be bold and bright, to reflect Belgium’s rich comic book culture that I have associated the country with since childhood.
Perfecting the look
Due to an export issue, I decided to remaster the film several months after the first upload. I was now several months further into my color grading journey and I completely changed the look of the film, giving it more of a ‘film’ look.
