    Looking to grade a film with a look similar to Saw. Any general guidelines I can follow?
    Thanks

    Have the DP shoot it the same way they did for “Saw,” and use similar art direction, lighting, costume design, and makeup, and there should be no problem. But there is no magic switch that will do it beyond lots of cooperation with all the department, several tests, and lots of skill and experience.

    I just today had similar problem.

    Trick was that i’m grading trailer for feature someone is working on and
    i have to mentally trace the ideas he had in the process.

    Somewhat trickier but doable as there is not photography and costumes
    on the way.

    I bet using different tools also affect images a bit differently.
