I detect the use of the qualifiers tool in Resolve in isolating the skies and subsequently ramping up the saturation. CaptainHook's grade is a more cooler, mid-day kind of look, which in no doubt is marvelous.
Seeing all these images at 4K for 4K; coupled with global shutter, and then having two BMCC EFs in my arsenal, both valued at 6K, I feel weak at the knees, having troubled nights, palpitations .......I FEEL SCREWED.
May eventually cut my loses, sell one of my EFs and spring for one of these.
Hey Art, I also lean more towards warmth or neutral colors since most of my clients have no clue as to what options they have, but I (as did Captainhook) wanted to see how far I could push these Prores HQ files, and I must say it was fun trying to replicate Captainhooks look, But nothing I would normally do for a client unless they "Let me loose" and let me do something more artistic.
Fact of the matter is using Resolve is such a joy, just have fun with it.
Update: what i meant to say is that working with The cinema 2.5K and now the 4K Prores in Resolve 10 (light or Full) has been a joy, and I look forward to working with the BM Production cameras 4K raw soon!
As far as you feeling week in the knees I feel you have many great options, and I would think about it before jumping the gun.
