Hi Nicolas, you can check performance of different Macs here: https://browser.geekbench.com/mac-benchmarks I would look for best single core performance. Latest Macbook Pros are relatively ok but older models had keyboard issues. Also overheating could be a problem. If that Macbook Pro 2017 you use in your company is enough for your needs the newest 2019 model should perform much better.

I keep these charts on my disk 😃

THE ART OF COLOR ACCORDING TO DIOR http://www.wmagazine.com/gallery/a-look-inside-the-art-of-color-according-to-dior/all

I remember I saw this video few months ago. This is the reason I have been waiting for new Mac just to see if they will kill Thunderbolt or no. There were such rumors that time. New MacBook Pro has four Thunderbolt3 ports - it means, there is no reason to hook everything up on one single Thunderbolt port. As I said before I would prefer to have good old tower with cooling instead of thin laptop. But as you can see in this video, the future is here already =)

I would prefer the old good tower too. But what can we do? I am really sorry, but I can't work with Windows. "Thunderbolt 1 is up to 85-percent performance and Thunderbolt 2 is up to 97-percent performance." (GPU performance - not bad, I would say...) This is a screenshot from their FAQ page:

And one more thing you will need in the near future =) http://www.macrumors.com/2016/11/03/owc-debuts-13-port-thunderbolt-3-dock/

This is the news I have been waiting for... http://nofilmschool.com/2016/11/bizonbox-3-thunderbolt-3-gpu-expander

And my favorite one =)

Colour In Storytelling:

And another web page: http://thecolorsofmotion.com/films

I have found interesting page showing color palletes from famous movies: http://digitalsynopsis.com/design/cinema-palettes-famous-movie-colors/

I would say that the most important thing is to have all footage colormanaged. This way all clips could be properly converted to another color space. If the small gamut color space is converted into larger one, all colors should stay as they are. If larger color space gets converted into smaller one, the most saturated colors are "moved" into that smaller space. But it usually means, that your footage will remain almost same, in the case you don't have pure red, green or blue color in there. Green is usually the most affected color. You can imagine someone wearing green reflective safety jacket, for example.

Unfortunately, I don't have this one. I use Fusion and Resolve. But I would say that Baselight should have similar tools?

and Beauty Blend in Fusion...

Here is another frequency separation tutorial (PART 1 - pls scroll down) In Depth: Skin Retouching Part 1: Digital Makeup http://www.toolfarm.com/blog/entry/skin In Depth: Skin Retouching Part 2: The Plug-ins http://www.toolfarm.com/blog/entry/in_depth_skin_retouching_part_2_the_plug_ins In Depth: Skin Retouching Part 3: More Plug-ins + Tutorials http://www.toolfarm.com/blog/entry/skin3 In Depth: Skin Retouching Part 4: DaVinci Resolve http://www.toolfarm.com/blog/entry/indepth-skin4-resolve

I have found another beauty retouching video: https://area.autodesk.com/blogs/discreetuk/beauty-retouching-in-smoke

This is great tutorial for really fast workflow. But it will give you slightly different results than frequency separation within Photoshop. This is also great video for skin retouching (published five years ago):

DaVinci is simply a great color grading tool. And it is an editing software too. I used to work with Final Cut Pro 3-6 and I would say that new DaVinci is already better. I also bought BMPCC - why would I use another software?

Personally, I would prefer to create my own new LUT from currently graded footage, instead of blending several LUTs together.

3D LUT Creator is a great tool. If you will find the way how to use it, you can achieve really great results.

Great news & Congratulatios...

Well done...

Here is another - also old one http://coloristos.podomatic.com And these are more about filmmaking https://www.indiefilmhustle.com/indie-filmmaking-podcasts/ http://nofilmschool.com/2016/05/every-no-film-school-podcast-so-far This is not a podcast, but I think it is good to keep your eye on it too http://www.scoop.it/t/colorist

I also use 3DLutcreator - this is really a powerfull tool. Bought it almost two years ago. You are able to manipulate colors in so many ways... here is YT channel with tutorials - I am also not connected to the developer in any way. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrBh8S42Q1ag4yuyQF3QnLA
