Colorist

Denver Riddle

Hi I’m Denver.  Yeah I know like the city and no I wasn’t born or conceived there :P  In high school I borrowed my grandmother’s digital camcorder (the first "MiniDV" camera to the market which technically belonged to the university where she taught) and made extreme sports videos with my friends… luckily we returned it in one piece… She still doesn’t know what exactly I was using it for, shhh our little secret ;)From that moment forward I knew that I was destined to create things with video to either capture experiences or tell powerful stories.  When I discovered color grading I felt like it was a powerful extension of what I was capturing on camera.  A way to enhance the story and one of the keys to making it look like a big Hollywood production.And so I decided to pursue a career as a colorist but quickly found there weren’t many resources or many people willing to help.  It seemed like it was some sort of elitist club where you had pay your dues as an ‘assistant’ for a decade before you got a crack at the big fancy control surface.Well the good news is that isn’t the only way to do it and I did NOT do it that way.  I learned that armed with the right techniques and some practice it can really go a long ways and where it took me years to discover some of the techniques you can start learning them today!I’ve had the pleasure of working with various clients and fortune 500 companies, from national commercial spots to feature films, from the U.S. Ski Team to Facebook and Instagram.  I've been able to help thousands enjoy what I love and you can trust my experience and my commitment to hold nothing back.Do something great today and create what you love!

Working as a Cinematic, I really enjoy working with LUTs. However, even when working with LUTs, I still have to sometimes manually adjust the color to the desired color. LUTs greatly eases the job of getting to that desired color that I need for my various projects. As soon as Color Grading Central announced the release of Motion Picture Film LUTs, I understood that they prepared a surprise for people like me. Once the teasers were released, and I got to try it out, my expectations of it were highly approved. As I continue to work with LUTs, plus a few manual corrections, I can now reach not only the color I need but also the desired mood. So I highly recommend the Motion Picture Film LUTs to all filmmakers who wish to create their own style in the cinematic field. As well as those who don't normally use LUTs, rather just manually reach a certain color needed. Because it's a tool that will help create a particular mood to the picture.

Being VERY new in video creation (only started 3 yrs ago) and being even newer with video color correcting and grading I always marveled at other videos and wondered "how they make them look so nice and professional". I am involved at our church with camp videos, memorial service videos, announcements, etc. It is because of companies like Color Grading Central and "Team Riddle" providing the tutorials and the TOOLS to utilize, such as these MPF LUTs they create, that our videos have moved to the next step and provide a professional look and feel. I always thought a tool like the MPF LUTs were something only the very experienced were allowed to use. Color correction and grading was something VERY intimidating to start (and believe me, many mistakes were made). I decided to "TRY" Color Finale Pro and "slowly" acquired presets and now these MPF LUTs into my utility belt. It's very easy to download the "free LUTs" online but I can ABSOLUTELY see a difference in quality that the MPF LUTs provide over all the other "brands" I have tried...it's the difference between "weak" Steve Rodgers and becoming Captain America. Just utilize the video tutorials, take things slow if you are new, and be encouraged that with practice everyone can learn.
