For those who don't know, this is the latest Open Movie produced by the Blender Foundation. All VFX work is entirely done with Blender, a free 3D modeling and animation software. 

To serve the purpose of their movie projects to do stuff and learn from it, I tried my own color grading on this movie in an attempt to create a more interesting visual style and to add some atmosphere to the overall look of the film. I'm not sure if it's overdone or not, but I like it a bit more that way than the original. To some extent it's certainly a matter of personal taste anyway.

Opinions on this video or on color grading in general are very welcome. I'm still practicing and trying to figure out the best approaches for my own future projects.
