I have decided to learn Color now I have a camera that produces a nice enough image to be colour graded.
However, I have found that all the tutorials I have read and watched seem to be about balancing colour between shots and getting the optimum exposure for each shot. Whilst I realise these are important I already know quite a bit of this from photography and I am looking for some more sylised approaches to colour grading.
One that I wanted to achieve was a coloured split toned look similar to what I can achieve in Lightroom with my photos. Below are a before and after photo showing what the effect does.
Before:

After:

These affects are achieved by selecting a colour for the highlights and shadows from the split toning panel and then reducing the saturation and altering the balance until the desired effect is achieved.
If anyone knows of some more stylised approach to colour grading tutorials for Color then please share as I am looking to give some more "funky" looks to the films that I make.
Thanks for the help!
