Cecília

Color grading for the fiction short Cecília. The color follows the character's path: warm light in the home kitchen, dry daylight in the countryside, the blues of the bus station, the subway and MASP, and a sunset by the sea. Two cameras, Canon and Sony, matched into one look, with a film finish (Kodak 2383 emulation).
