I finally decided to give it a go in Color. It took a little while to get the hang of things but the amount of control you have is amazing, and to be honest the render is much higher quality then rendering graded material in FCP.

I still have to hit this again with a few more grades but I am happy the way it is heading. More tomorrow.

What you see below is a screen cap of the entire layout, and then a video of some of the grading. I had to speed it up so you could see the process but I know it runs a bit long! Don't worry no one is obligated to watch the whole thing! (Aprox. running time 4:20)
