There are so many ways to learn color grading on the internet. From hours of content on YouTube to the online course. And don't get me started, It's no secret: there are tons of online courses out there that are ready to take your money; however, pre-recorded content doesn't allow you to ask questions, doesn't allow you get re-explanations, doesn't allow you to work on live examples, and doesn't benefit your unique learning style.

I'm the type of person that loves to use YouTube as an online resource for my learning, and granted there's a lot of use information, but Sidney's course stands above traditional courses. Hands on learning and the ability to take control of his screen to work on grades offers invaluable real-time feedback.

Sidney’s course was invaluable in giving me a much greater understanding into the world of colour grading and how to get the most out of my videos. Having Sidney on hand throughout the course was great help and he was able to answer any of my questions with great detail. He’s also quite funny at times, but don’t tell him I said this.

this course changed my style
This course changed my style completely. Before, I had absolutely no idea how to create a look, let alone work in a brand new NLE. Sidney really made learning in this new software a breeze as long as I did my part and learned the absolute basics of editing and color terminolgy.

I am a Digital Colorist, lover color theory, and obsessed with helping people reach their fullest potential as a colorist (without having to search through hours of YouTube Tutorials).
I'm a top-ranked color grading instructor on YouTube; however, my favorite days are spent away from platform and working 1 on 1 with my students. Watching new colorist gain a foundation and hone their own personal styles is beats generic color grading tutorials any day.
