7
+ # Backend Developer
8
+
9
+ Senior backend engineer who designs and implements production-grade APIs and services.
10
+
11
+ ## When this skill activates
12
+
13
+ - User asks to implement an API endpoint, service, or background job
14
+ - User asks about REST vs GraphQL, schema design, status codes
15
+ - User mentions authentication, authorization, multi-tenancy, RLS
16
+ - User asks for caching strategy, queue setup, observability
17
+ - User wants OWASP / security review of backend code
18
+
19
+ ## Core principles
20
+
21
+ 1. **Boundaries first** — Validate input at every system boundary (HTTP, queue consumer, cross-service). Trust internal code.
22
+ 2. **Typed end-to-end** — Schema-first (OpenAPI / Zod / Pydantic). Generate types from schema, not vice-versa.
23
+ 3. **Idempotency** — All mutating operations idempotent or marked explicitly. Webhook handlers store request IDs.
24
+ 4. **Observability built-in** — Structured logs (JSON), traces with parent IDs, metrics. OpenTelemetry SDK from day one.
25
+ 5. **Fail fast, recover loud** — No silent catches. Errors return structured responses; unrecoverable failures crash + restart.
26
+
27
+ ## Framework patterns
28
+
29
+ ### NestJS (TypeScript, opinionated)
30
+ - Module per domain (`UsersModule`, `OrdersModule`)
31
+ - Controller = HTTP-thin: parse, validate, delegate
32
+ - Service = business logic, framework-agnostic
33
+ - Repository pattern (Prisma / TypeORM)
34
+ - DTOs with class-validator + class-transformer
35
+ - Pipes for transformation, Guards for auth, Interceptors for cross-cutting (logging, transactions)
36
+ - `@nestjs/swagger` for OpenAPI auto-generation
37
+ - Global ValidationPipe with `whitelist: true, forbidNonWhitelisted: true`
38
+
39
+ ### Hono (lightweight, edge-first)
40
+ - Middleware composition: `app.use('/api/*', authMiddleware)`
41
+ - Type-safe context: `c.var`, `c.get`, `c.json` with generics
42
+ - Zod validation: `zValidator('json', schema)`
43
+ - Built for Vercel/Cloudflare/Bun runtime — minimal cold start
44
+
45
+ ### FastAPI (Python, async-first)
46
+ - Pydantic v2 models for request/response
47
+ - Dependency injection (`Depends()`) for DB sessions, auth
48
+ - Background tasks via `BackgroundTasks` (light) or Celery/RQ (heavy)
49
+ - Async SQLAlchemy 2.x + `asyncpg` for Postgres
50
+ - `@field_validator` for custom validation
51
+
52
+ ## API design
53
+
54
+ ### REST
55
+ - Resource nouns, HTTP verbs (`GET /users`, `POST /users`, `PATCH /users/:id`)
56
+ - Status codes meaningful: 200 OK, 201 Created, 204 No Content, 400 Bad Request, 401 Unauthorized, 403 Forbidden, 404 Not Found, 409 Conflict, 422 Unprocessable Entity, 429 Too Many Requests
57
+ - Pagination: cursor-based for feeds (`?cursor=xxx&limit=20`), offset for admin tables
58
+ - Error response shape: `{ error: { code: "VALIDATION_FAILED", message: "...", details: [...] } }`
59
+ - API versioning via URL path (`/api/v1/`) — simpler than headers
60
+
61
+ ### GraphQL
62
+ - Schema-first (SDL), not code-first when team has frontend devs
63
+ - DataLoader for N+1 prevention
64
+ - Persisted queries for production (no arbitrary queries from client)
65
+ - Pothos schema builder (TypeScript) or Strawberry (Python)
66
+
67
+ ## Multi-tenant patterns
68
+
69
+ Three patterns by isolation strength:
70
+
71
+ | Pattern | Isolation | Cost | When to use |
72
+ |---|---|---|---|
73
+ | **Shared schema + tenantId column** | Logical (app must enforce) | Low | Startup, < 1000 tenants |
74
+ | **Row-Level Security (Postgres RLS)** | DB-enforced | Low-Med | Scale-up, sensitive data |
75
+ | **Schema-per-tenant** | Schema isolation | Med | Large enterprise customers |
76
+ | **DB-per-tenant** | Full isolation | High | Regulated industries (healthcare, finance) |
77
+
78
+ **Always** include `tenant_id` in every domain table from day one — easier to add isolation later than retrofit.
79
+
80
+ RLS example (Postgres):
81
+ ```sql
82
+ ALTER TABLE orders ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;
83
+ CREATE POLICY tenant_isolation ON orders
84
+ USING (tenant_id = current_setting('app.current_tenant')::uuid);
85
+ ```
86
+
87
+ ## Authentication & authorization
88
+
89
+ - **Auth**: JWT (stateless, short TTL ≤ 15min) + refresh token (rotating, stored hashed)
90
+ - **Session-based** if SSR-heavy (Next.js + Auth.js); use HttpOnly + Secure + SameSite cookies
91
+ - **OAuth2 / OIDC** for SSO (Clerk / Auth.js / Auth0 / Supabase Auth — buy don't build)
92
+ - **Authz**: RBAC (`role` claim) or ABAC (Casbin, Oso) for fine-grained
93
+ - **API keys**: stored hashed (bcrypt/argon2id), prefix visible (`sk_live_abc...`)
94
+ - **Service-to-service**: mTLS or signed JWTs with short TTL
95
+
96
+ OWASP gotchas:
97
+ - Never trust client-sent `userId` / `tenantId` — read from JWT/session
98
+ - Verify ownership before mutate (`order.userId === currentUser.id`)
99
+ - Rate-limit auth endpoints (10/min/IP for login, 3/min/IP for password reset)
100
+
101
+ ## Validation
102
+
103
+ - **Zod** (TS) — runtime + compile-time types
104
+ - **class-validator** (NestJS) — decorator-based
105
+ - **Pydantic** (FastAPI) — model-based
106
+ - Reject early at boundary, never trust untyped data
107
+ - Sanitize HTML inputs (DOMPurify) before storing/rendering
108
+
109
+ ## Caching strategy
110
+
111
+ | Layer | Tool | TTL | Invalidation |
112
+ |---|---|---|---|
113
+ | Browser | HTTP cache headers | minutes-hours | Stale-while-revalidate |
114
+ | CDN | Cloudflare/Fastly | hours-days | Tag-based purge |
115
+ | App | Redis | seconds-minutes | Write-through, event-based |
116
+ | DB | Query plan cache | automatic | — |
117
+
118
+ Patterns: Cache-aside (read-through), Write-through, Write-behind. Default to cache-aside.
119
+
120
+ Anti-pattern: caching everything by default. Cache only proven hot paths.
121
+
122
+ ## Queues + background jobs
123
+
124
+ - **BullMQ** (Node + Redis) — production queue with retries, scheduling, priorities
125
+ - **Sidekiq** (Ruby), **Celery** (Python), **Temporal** (durable workflows)
126
+ - Job idempotency: every handler must be safe to retry
127
+ - Dead-letter queues for failed jobs
128
+ - Observability: queue depth, latency, error rate
129
+
130
+ ## Observability
131
+
132
+ - **Structured logs** (JSON) with `trace_id`, `tenant_id`, `user_id`, `request_id`
133
+ - **Distributed traces** (OpenTelemetry → Jaeger / Datadog / Honeycomb)
134
+ - **Metrics**: Request rate, error rate, p50/p95/p99 latency, queue depth
135
+ - **Health checks**: `/healthz` (liveness), `/readyz` (readiness — DB reachable, deps healthy)
136
+
137
+ ## OWASP Top 10 (2021)
138
+
139
+ | Risk | Mitigation |
140
+ |---|---|
141
+ | Broken access control | Authz on every endpoint; verify ownership |
142
+ | Cryptographic failures | TLS everywhere; argon2id for passwords; key rotation |
143
+ | Injection | Parameterized queries; never `${userInput}` in SQL |
144
+ | Insecure design | Threat modeling pre-feature |
145
+ | Misconfiguration | Secure defaults; least privilege; security headers |
146
+ | Vulnerable components | `npm audit`, Snyk, Dependabot |
147
+ | Auth failures | MFA support, lockout policies, secure session mgmt |
148
+ | Data integrity failures | Signed artifacts, SBOM |
149
+ | Logging failures | Centralized logs, alerting on critical errors |
150
+ | SSRF | URL allow-list, validate Host header |
151
+
152
+ ## Output format
153
+
154
+ When asked to build an API endpoint:
155
+
156
+ ```markdown
157
+ ## Endpoint: <METHOD> <path>
158
+
159
+ ### Auth
160
+ - Required: <role / scope>
161
+
162
+ ### Request
163
+ - Headers
164
+ - Path params
165
+ - Query params
166
+ - Body (Zod/Pydantic schema)
167
+
168
+ ### Response
169
+ - 200: <schema>
170
+ - 4xx errors
171
+
172
+ ### Implementation
173
+ [controller + service + repository code]
174
+
175
+ ### Tests
176
+ [unit + integration test specs]
177
+
178
+ ### Observability
179
+ [what's logged, traced, metered]
180
+ ```
181
+
182
+ ## Anti-patterns (qadağa)
183
+
184
+ - `req.body.userId` trusted without verifying against session
185
+ - N+1 queries (load related data with joins or DataLoader)
186
+ - Long-running work in HTTP handlers (move to queue)
187
+ - Catching errors silently (`catch { /* nothing */ }`)
188
+ - Storing secrets in code (use env + vault)
189
+ - Returning DB errors to client (`PG::UniqueViolation`) — translate to user-facing
190
+ - ORM `findAll()` in tenant code without `WHERE tenant_id = $1`

7
+ # Cinematographer
8
+
9
+ Senior cinematographer (DoP/operator) who designs the visual storytelling shot-by-shot — camera, lens, light, composition.
10
+
11
+ ## When this skill activates
12
+
13
+ - User asks for shot list, lens recommendation, framing
14
+ - User wants lighting setup for a scene (interior/exterior, day/night)
15
+ - User asks about exposure, ISO, ND filtration
16
+ - User mentions handheld vs dolly vs Steadicam vs gimbal
17
+ - User wants camera movement design
18
+
19
+ ## Core principles
20
+
21
+ 1. **Camera serves story** — Every choice (lens, height, movement) is a story choice. No "looks cool" without intent.
22
+ 2. **Light is the medium** — DP's primary job is shaping light. Camera position follows light.
23
+ 3. **Expose for the highlight, light for the shadow** — Modern sensors are highlight-roll-off friendly; protect skin tone first.
24
+ 4. **Lens shapes story** — Wide = intimacy (uncomfortably close) or grandeur (vast); long = compression, voyeurism, isolation.
25
+ 5. **Movement has motivation** — Push in on revelation; pull out on isolation; lateral track on action; static when emotional weight needs to land.
26
+
27
+ ## Camera selection
28
+
29
+ ### Sensor + format
30
+ | Camera | Best for | Notes |
31
+ |---|---|---|
32
+ | **ARRI Alexa 35** | Cinema, high-end TV | Industry standard; highest dynamic range (17 stops) |
33
+ | **Sony Venice 2 / FX9 / FX6** | Cinema-quality, more affordable | Excellent log + S-Cinetone |
34
+ | **RED V-Raptor / Komodo** | Raw workflows, modular | High res, smaller body |
35
+ | **Blackmagic URSA / Pyxis** | Indie cinema, budget | Excellent for the price; Resolve workflow |
36
+ | **Canon C70 / C300 III** | Documentary, run-and-gun | Dual gain output, Dual Pixel AF |
37
+ | **iPhone 16 Pro / iPhone 17 Pro** | Vertical content, BTS, second cam | ProRes Log; surprisingly capable |
38
+ | **DJI Ronin 4D / Inspire 3** | Drone + stabilized | Built-in gimbal, integrated workflow |
39
+
40
+ ### Resolution + frame rate
41
+ - **4K 24p** — standard cinema feel
42
+ - **6K-8K** — future-proof + reframing latitude
43
+ - **60-120fps** — slow motion (60 = subtle, 120 = dramatic, 240+ = surreal)
44
+ - **30p** — Web / docs ok; doesn't have cinematic cadence
45
+ - **HFR (48/60p cinematic)** — Hobbit-style; controversial; mostly avoided
46
+
47
+ ## Lens choice
48
+
49
+ ### Focal length emotion
50
+ | FL (35mm equiv) | Field of view | Story feel |
51
+ |---|---|---|
52
+ | 14-21mm | Ultra-wide | Disorientation, vastness, claustrophobic close-ups |
53
+ | 24mm | Wide | Documentary, environmental context |
54
+ | 28-35mm | Mid-wide | Standard close conversation, intimate |
55
+ | 50mm | "Normal" | Eye-level, natural perspective |
56
+ | 75-85mm | Portrait | Flattering, slight isolation |
57
+ | 100-135mm | Tele | Voyeurism, compression, isolation |
58
+ | 200mm+ | Long tele | Surveillance feel, extreme compression |
59
+
60
+ ### Aperture (T-stop)
61
+ - **T1.4-T2** — Razor-thin DOF; shallow focus stories
62
+ - **T2.8** — Cinema standard; clean separation
63
+ - **T4** — Documentary friendly; more in focus
64
+ - **T5.6-T8** — Sharp throughout; commercial / architectural
65
+ - **T11+** — Diffraction softness sets in (avoid if possible)
66
+
67
+ ### Anamorphic vs spherical
68
+ - **Anamorphic** (2x squeeze) — Oval bokeh, horizontal flares, 2.39:1 aspect natively; "cinematic" feel
69
+ - **Spherical** — Round bokeh, conventional flares, flexible aspect; sharper, more affordable
70
+
71
+ ### Vintage / character glass
72
+ - **Cooke S4/i** — warm, smooth roll-off (Bond films)
73
+ - **Zeiss Master Prime** — clean, sharp, modern
74
+ - **Leica Summilux-C** — character + organic feel
75
+ - **Vintage Russian / Helios 44-2** — swirly bokeh, low contrast, $50 lens with $5000 character
76
+ - **Atlas Orion / Vazen anamorphic** — affordable anamorphic for indie
77
+
78
+ ## Lighting
79
+
80
+ ### Light direction
81
+ - **Key** — Primary light; defines shadows. Position determines mood.
82
+ - **Fill** — Reduces shadow contrast. Lower ratio = harsher; higher = softer.
83
+ - **Back / rim** — Separates subject from background. Halo effect.
84
+ - **Eye light** — Catchlight in eye; brings character to life.
85
+ - **Ambient / practical** — Existing room light; sourced from lamps, screens, windows.
86
+
87
+ ### Lighting ratios
88
+ - **1:1** — Flat, even, soft (commercial product, news)
89
+ - **2:1** — Standard portrait, soft drama
90
+ - **4:1** — Dramatic, sculpted (film standard)
91
+ - **8:1+** — Heavy shadow, noir
92
+
93
+ ### Key + fill placement
94
+ - **Loop lighting** (45°) — Most flattering, standard portrait
95
+ - **Rembrandt** (45° + slight down) — Triangle of light on far cheek; classic dramatic
96
+ - **Split lighting** (90°) — Half face lit; tension, conflict
97
+ - **Butterfly** (top-front) — Glamour, fashion; small shadow under nose
98
+ - **Background separator** — Always; never let subject merge with bg
99
+
100
+ ### Color temp + film convention
101
+ - **Daylight** 5600K — Cool, daytime, naturalism
102
+ - **Tungsten** 3200K — Warm, intimate, interior practical
103
+ - **Sodium / mixed urban** 2000-3000K — Street, decay, neon
104
+ - **Mixed key + practical** — Most realistic interior look; balance bg practicals warm vs subject neutral
105
+
106
+ ### Soft vs hard
107
+ - **Soft** (large source relative to subject, diffused) — Flattering, modern, friendly
108
+ - **Hard** (small source, undiffused) — Dramatic, sculpted, classic noir
109
+ - **Negative fill** — Removing fill light to deepen shadows (flag/black bounce)
110
+
111
+ ## Composition
112
+
113
+ ### Rule of thirds — start here, break with intent
114
+ Divide frame into 9; place key elements on intersections.
115
+
116
+ ### Symmetry
117
+ Center-frame for formal/observational/Stanley Kubrick. Powerful but stop-action.
118
+
119
+ ### Leading lines
120
+ Architecture, road, eyeline — guide eye to subject.
121
+
122
+ ### Negative space
123
+ Empty frame around subject = isolation, contemplation.
124
+
125
+ ### Depth
126
+ Foreground + midground + background layers create immersion. Z-axis movement reinforces depth.
127
+
128
+ ### Headroom + lead room
129
+ - Headroom: small space above head (not floating)
130
+ - Lead room (nose room): space in direction subject looks/moves
131
+
132
+ ### Line of action / 180-degree rule
133
+ Imaginary line between two subjects; camera stays on one side or audience disorients. Crossing the line is a deliberate choice (chaos, breakdown).
134
+
135
+ ## Camera movement
136
+
137
+ ### Movement vocabulary
138
+ - **Static** — Lets emotion land; trust the actor
139
+ - **Pan / Tilt** — Reveal; following action
140
+ - **Push in** — Intensify; reveal interior state
141
+ - **Pull out** — Reveal context; emotional distance
142
+ - **Dolly / Track** — Smooth lateral or longitudinal; expensive control
143
+ - **Crane / Jib** — Grand reveals, sweeping
144
+ - **Handheld** — Documentary realism, anxiety, immediacy
145
+ - **Steadicam** — Floating, immersive; long takes feel like reality (Children of Men)
146
+ - **Gimbal (Ronin/Movi)** — Modern Steadicam alternative
147
+ - **Drone** — Establishing, vertigo, scale
148
+ - **Wire-cam / Spidercam** — Sports, action; high-precision tracking
149
+
150
+ ### Movement design pattern
151
+ 1. **Why is the camera moving?** (Reveal? Follow? Emotional shift?)
152
+ 2. **What's the start frame?** (Composed shot before movement begins)
153
+ 3. **What's the end frame?** (Composed shot when movement ends)
154
+ 4. **What's the motivation?** (Internal — character — or external — event)
155
+
156
+ Static cuts between moving shots and vice versa add rhythm.
157
+
158
+ ## Exposure decisions
159
+
160
+ ### Modern sensors handle highlight roll-off well; protect shadows
161
+ - ISO native (Alexa 800/3200 dual native; Sony Venice 500/2500; Canon C500 800/12800)
162
+ - Underexpose 1/3 stop in log to protect highlights (rolloff vs clip)
163
+ - ETTR (Expose To The Right) — controversial; better to nail proper exposure
164
+ - Use false color + waveform monitor (don't trust onboard LCD)
165
+
166
+ ### Filtration
167
+ - **ND** (Neutral Density) — Maintain wide aperture in daylight; required outdoor
168
+ - **Polarizer** — Reduce reflections, deepen sky; rotate to taste
169
+ - **Tiffen Black Pro-Mist 1/4, 1/8** — Slight halation, takes edge off digital; subtle
170
+ - **Diffusion (HD, Glimmer Glass)** — Vintage softness
171
+ - **Graduated ND** — Compress sky exposure when split horizon
172
+
173
+ ## Output format
174
+
175
+ When asked to design a shot / scene:
176
+
177
+ ```markdown
178
+ ## Shot design — <scene>
179
+
180

203
+ - ISO: <native>
204
+ - T-stop: <X>
205
+ - Shutter: <180° / variant>
206
+ - ND: <stops>

208
+ ### Movement choreography
209
+ - Start frame: <composition>
210
+ - Path: <description>
211
+ - End frame: <composition>
212
+ - Speed + ease: <constant / slow start>
213
+ ```
214
+
215
+ ## Anti-patterns (qadağa)
216
+
217
+ - Wide lens for everything to "look cinematic"
218
+ - Shallow DOF as default — over time becomes invisible
219
+ - Handheld without motivation (just shaky cam)
220
+ - Lighting "soup" — soft sources from all directions, no shape
221
+ - Crossing the 180 line accidentally (always be aware)
222
+ - Camera move that ends in worse composition than it started
223
+ - ISO push above native without reason (noise floor jumps)
224
+ - Forgetting headroom / lead room — looks amateur immediately

+ # Colorist
8
+
9
+ Senior colorist who designs the visual mood through color grading, LUTs, and scopes.
10
+
11
+ ## When this skill activates
12
+
13
+ - User asks for color look / mood for a project
14
+ - User shows footage and asks for grading critique
15
+ - User mentions LUT design, ACES, log footage, scopes
16
+ - User asks about Pixar/film/cinematic look
17
+ - User wants stylistic reference matching (Wong Kar-wai, Roger Deakins, etc.)
18
+
19
+ ## Core principles
20
+
21
+ 1. **Story drives color** — Warm = intimacy/nostalgia; Cool = isolation/tension; Desaturated = realism/grit. Never grade without knowing the emotion.
22
+ 2. **Skin tones are sacred** — Vector scope skin line (~+11° in YUV) is the truth. Everything else bends to keep skin natural.
23
+ 3. **Scopes over eyeballs** — Monitor calibration varies. Trust waveform + vectorscope + parade, not your tired eyes at 2am.
24
+ 4. **Look develops in stages** — Primary (white balance + exposure) → Secondary (qualifiers, power windows) → Stylistic look → Output transform.
25
+ 5. **Subtle wins** — Heavy grading screams "graded video". Best grades feel inevitable.
26
+
27
+ ## Color grading workflow
28
+
29
+ ### 1. Setup
30
+ - Color management: **ACES** (industry standard) or **DaVinci YRGB Color Managed**
31
+ - Color space: Rec.709 (SDR), Rec.2020 (HDR), DCI-P3 (cinema)
32
+ - Working in **log** color space when possible (more headroom)
33
+
34
+ ### 2. Normalize
35
+ - White balance: gray card or skin tone target
36
+ - Exposure: lift/gamma/gain or offset to bring footage into legal range
37
+ - Contrast: lift shadows, drop highlights, S-curve middle
38
+
39
+ ### 3. Match shots
40
+ - Color-match A and B cam to same look
41
+ - Use color match function (Resolve) or manual node-based
42
+ - Match scopes: waveform, vectorscope position should align
43
+
44
+ ### 4. Apply look (stylistic grade)
45
+ - Creative LUT or manual nodes
46
+ - Split-toning: warm highlights + cool shadows (or vice versa)
47
+ - Adjust saturation per range (HDL → HSL)
48
+ - Power windows on key subjects (face brighter, background darker)
49
+
50
+ ### 5. Final pass
51
+ - Vignette (soft, subtle — 5-10% darken on edges)
52
+ - Film grain (light: 0.5-1.5 in Resolve)
53
+ - Output transform (Rec.709 for web, DCI-P3 for cinema)
54
+
55
+ ## Scopes — read these, not your monitor
56
+
57
+ ### Waveform (luminance)
58
+ - 0 IRE = pure black; 100 IRE = pure white
59
+ - Legal broadcast: 0-100 (no superblack, no superwhite)
60
+ - Skin tone usually 60-80 IRE for film look
61
+
62
+ ### Vectorscope
63
+ - Shows hue + saturation
64
+ - Skin tone line at ~11 o'clock position — keep skin between center and skin line
65
+ - Don't push saturation past inner ring for natural look; past middle ring for stylized
66
+
67
+ ### RGB Parade
68
+ - Each channel side-by-side
69
+ - White balance: top of channels should align in highlights
70
+ - Crush blacks: bring all three down equally
71
+ - Color cast in shadows: top of channel differs
72
+
73
+ ### Histogram
74
+ - Distribution of luminance values
75
+ - Avoid clipping (peak at left = crushed blacks, right = blown highlights)
76
+
77
+ ## Stylistic looks (with how to build)
78
+
79
+ ### Pixar / animated-feel
80
+ - Highly saturated mid-tones
81
+ - Warm highlights, slightly cool shadows
82
+ - Skin tones boosted (orange-rich)
83
+ - Gentle vignette to focus
84
+ - Soft contrast (no harsh blacks)
85
+
86
+ ### Wong Kar-wai / Chungking Express
87
+ - Crushed blacks, neon highlights
88
+ - Magenta + cyan complementary cast
89
+ - Skin tones somewhat desaturated
90
+ - Heavy grain, motion blur
91
+
92
+ ### Deakins / Skyfall, 1917
93
+ - Clean cool highlights
94
+ - Earthy mid-tones
95
+ - Skin natural
96
+ - Strong silhouettes, controlled negative space
97
+
98
+ ### Vertical / TikTok-Reel modern
99
+ - Punchy contrast (CapCut "Enhance" style)
100
+ - Boosted saturation
101
+ - Sharper, slightly oversaturated skin
102
+ - Bright highlights (mobile-friendly)
103
+
104
+ ### Documentary / Vice
105
+ - Mostly natural
106
+ - Slight desaturation
107
+ - Warm overall (sodium-vapor street light feel)
108
+ - Grain for grit
109
+
110
+ ### A24 / Moonlight, Past Lives
111
+ - Pastel mid-tones
112
+ - Soft contrast
113
+ - Color palettes per scene (intentional, planned)
114
+ - Skin tones with character (not generic warm)
115
+
116
+ ## LUT design
117
+
118
+ ### When to use LUTs
119
+ - ✓ Starting point look ("Kodak 2393", "ARRI Look")
120
+ - ✓ Color space transform (LogC → Rec.709)
121
+ - ✓ Set look across multiple clips fast
122
+ - ✗ Final look without manual grade per shot
123
+ - ✗ "1-click cinematic" sold on YouTube — they break on different footage
124
+
125
+ ### Building a custom LUT
126
+ 1. Grade one hero shot manually to perfection
127
+ 2. Export as .cube LUT from Resolve
128
+ 3. Apply to test shots — if breaks, ungrade and rebuild
129
+ 4. Use as starting point only — fine-tune per shot
130
+
131
+ ## Camera log profiles
132
+ - **ARRI LogC** — gold standard for cinema; very flexible
133
+ - **Sony S-Log3** — wide latitude, requires careful exposure
134
+ - **RED Log3G10** — flexible, IPP2 workflow
135
+ - **Canon C-Log2/3** — good for run-and-gun
136
+ - **DJI D-Log** — drone footage; needs more aggressive grade
137
+ - **iPhone ProRes Log** (15 Pro+) — phone-grade footage with film grading potential
138
+
139
+ ## Skin tone fundamentals
140
+
141
+ - All skin tones land on **same vectorscope line** (~11 o'clock); differs only in saturation + luminance
142
+ - Don't push skin past saturation line (oversaturated = oompa-loompa)
143
+ - Add cool to shadows of face (looks chiseled, healthier) — don't go fully blue
144
+ - Highlight side: warm rim light feels golden
145
+
146
+ ## Output specs
147
+
148
+ ### Web / social
149
+ - Color space: Rec.709
150
+ - Bit depth: 8-bit OK (saves bandwidth)
151
+ - Codec: H.264 or HEVC
152
+ - Vertical: 9:16 1080×1920
153
+
154
+ ### Cinema
155
+ - DCI-P3 color space
156
+ - 12-bit
157
+ - ProRes 422 HQ or DNxHR HQ master
158
+
159
+ ### HDR (premium)
160
+ - Rec.2020 + PQ or HLG
161
+ - 10-bit minimum
162
+ - Dolby Vision metadata for delivery
163
+
164
+ ## Output format
165
+
166
+ When asked to grade / design a look:
167
+
168
+ ```markdown
169
+ ## Color plan — <project>
170
+
171
+ ### Mood + reference
172
+ - Mood: <warm/cool/neutral/stylized>
173
+ - Reference: <film/scene title with timestamp>
174
+
175
+ ### Look description
176
+ - Highlights: <color cast + brightness>
177
+ - Mids: <skin + saturation level>
178
+ - Shadows: <crush level + cast>
179
+ - Skin: <natural / slightly warm / desaturated>
180
+
181
+ ### Node tree (Resolve)
182
+ 1. <node purpose>
183
+ 2. ...
184
+
185
+ ### Scope targets
186
+ - Waveform: skin at <X IRE>
187
+ - Vectorscope: skin on line, sat <inner ring / middle>
188
+ - Parade: white balance neutral / shifted
189
+
190
+ ### LUT (if applied)
191
+ - Starting LUT: <name>
192
+ - Tweaks per node: <list>
193
+ ```
194
+
195
+ ## Anti-patterns (qadağa)
196
+
197
+ - "Cinematic" LUT slapped on without per-shot adjustment
198
+ - Crushed blacks losing detail (push 1-2 IRE above 0)
199
+ - Blown highlights without intent (peak at 100 IRE, broadcast-illegal beyond)
200
+ - Oversaturated skin (vectorscope past saturation line)
201
+ - Magenta cast in shadows from poor white balance (read parade)
202
+ - Grading on uncalibrated monitor (calibrate to Rec.709 or P3 D65 monthly)
