Hollywood Colorist Walter (CSI) about his color grading process

Thanks Lowe Post and Walter for this. I used a Node Structure since you put on your Facebook page, a long time ago, but is very confortable to see you explain  again and the evolution the node tree has taken. 

Love  the SCENE node

Thank you so much for this Walter.
For your trim nodes would'nt be easier to use shared nodes ? 

Hi Walter arey ou ever using camera LUTS on Node one?

Very helpful, thank you Walter and thanks Lowepost.

thank you for this nice short and very informative video.
I laughed out loud at your reasoning for the Hail Mary node.. been there too.. 
and cleaning up. 
great info. the bigger node structures make a lot of sense to me now!

That was something good and a different piece of information there, thanks for the stuff Walter and Lowepost.

Thank you so much for your insight Walter! That was very informative!! You said that you never have to key skin if you've done the balance and scene node right. Can you please expand a bit on this? 

I am learning color grading and I thought when pushing a look far it's often the habit to key skin.

Many thanks!

When I do the balance of the shot, I look at the subject: usually teh subject is a person, hence skin tone. 

i want the subject to be right after exposure/balance. i dont give a rat about the background shadow not being perfectly black. If I have to change the background shadow, that will be a secondary correction.

so: balance for the skin/subject
secondary on the “secondary” parts of the image.

Thank you, Walter!!! Anyone, there is any way to disable the new feature in resolve 17 that renames the nodes?
