This was the first time I seriously delved into color grading. I wanted to create a consistent color scheme that supports the atmosphere I was going for while shooting this video. I also tried to go for an old "film" look, but unfortunately the custom grain I added did not survive Vimeo compression very well, so it is hard to spot. I used DaVinci Resolve for the first time while grading this, a program I will definitely continue using for color work in the future.

Exile was a very personal project. The music, atmosphere, shot composition and color were closely tailored to what I was feeling and imagining during my stay in Sumy that summer, and I hope I succeeded in getting those feelings across.
