This workshop is designed for solo operators, small production companies, corporate video producers, stock footage entrepreneurs, or anyone who wants to work efficiently with Sony S-LOG and RAW files.

If you want to harness the full potential of Sony's high-end cameras, you must shoot with S-LOG and/or RAW. But if you aren't color grading your footage in DaVinci Resolve (or not using Resolve properly) you're missing a vital part of the workflow. Grading can elevate a good image to great, or a great image to outstanding. In fact, color grading can be one of the most impactful tweaks you can make to any footage you shoot -- and it is absolutely mandatory for S-LOG and RAW.
In this 4-hour tutorial video, well-known Sony camera expert, cinematographer, and educator Doug Jensen, explains why Sony S-LOG and RAW footage deserve a specialized workflow that goes beyond what can be accomplished in an ordinary NLE or by just applying a LUT in post and calling it good. Doug shows you exactly how you can easily use DaVinci Resolve to take your footage to the next level.

Whether you've already had some experience with Resolve or are just getting started, Doug will lead you step-by-step through the process of importing, editing, coloring, and exporting your footage. It's like having a private, one-one-one, 4-hour, training session with Doug at your convenience.

In his trademark no-nonsense style, Doug cuts through the clutter of confusing, misunderstood, and sometimes poorly documented features. He demystifies Resolve and provides practical, step-by-step instructions that you can follow at your own pace. More importantly, Doug explains the reasoning behind his recommendations, helping you understand not just how process S-LOG and RAW footage, but how to make better decisions when you’re color grading.
