Why Animators Need Colour Grading


What is colour grading, and why do animators need it? In film-making, colour grading - sometimes called colour balancing, or colour timing - is the process of adjusting the colour of every shot in a film to harmonise the overall look and feel of the film, and make sure that each shot flows seamlessly into the next. Colour Grading is an essential final step in the post-production of a short film, ensuring that every shot has the right colour balance. We're recommending this short video above which shows how to do successful colour grading in Adobe Premiere.

About Colour Grading
Colour Grading involves tweaking the colour attributes of a shot, including the amount of contrast, colour (hue), saturation, and intensity. The process is done at the very end of the film, to make sure that the colour design of the film is smooth and flowing from shot to shot.  Usually the process is done by the film editor, one of the most important and creative roles on any production.
