What
An official Blackmagic Design course held over eight online classes that is designed to teach you professional colour grading techniques, master fundamental colour science concepts and improve your colour grading workflow. After successful completion of the course, you will be prepared to take the Colourist Guide Blackmagic Design User Certification Exam. Stay connected after the course finishes with an exclusive invite to the community Discord group for ongoing support and networking opportunities.

Who
This interactive course is for colourists, cinematographers, content creators and tertiary students. It is designed to cater to different levels of grading experience, from novice to intermediate. No knowledge of the colour tab is required, but it is recommended to be comfortable using DaVinci Resolve for general use.

This eight class term is held online via Zoom. It's important that all attendees have access to DaVinci Resolve if they wish to follow along. All required training material is included and will be sent to all attendees before the course begins.

  • How much does the course cost? 💰
    The cost of a course varies depending on whether it's held in person or online. Whatever the price, it gives you access to either a weekend workshop or an eight term online class and an exclusive invite to the community Discord server for ongoing networking and support.
  • What if I can't attend one of the course days? ⏱️
    All sessions will be recorded and made available to attendees after the course is complete, so missing one day isn't necessarily a deal breaker. It's up to you, but I highly recommend making time to attend all of the sessions.
  • How much DaVinci Resolve knowledge do I need before signing up to the course? 👀
    It is preferable to have rudimentary knowledge of how DaVinci Resolve functions, but don't stress about it. I would advise participants to watch a few YouTube videos or video courses before signing up, but if you have any queries or concerns send Luke an email at hello@lukerosspost.com
  • Why are you offering a Discord server invite? 👥
    It's helpful to have a friendly community that you can ask questions when you get stuck or need a hand with a problem! My Discord server is a place where past and future attendees of my workshops can ask questions, share their problems and successes and more.
