Teal and orange is the blockbuster grade that pushes skin warm orange and shadows deep teal.
13Live-action footage, real people, natural skin and textures, graded in the blockbuster teal and orange look: skin and highlights pushed warm orange, shadows and sky pushed deep teal, punchy contrast. A city street in the late afternoon. A young man with curly red hair in a dark wool coat walks along the sidewalk past shop windows toward a small corner café. Wide shot, the camera tracking sideways beside him at walking pace from the first second. 0–2s: he walks past a row of shop windows. 2–4s: he passes a flower stall and a parked bicycle. 4–6s: he reaches the café and the camera eases to a stop as he does. 6–8s: he opens the café door and steps inside. Throughout: the grade stays warm orange skin against deep teal shadows, one continuous take.
