A career as a colorist is a rewarding experience. It’s your job to bring the cinematographer’s photography to life and meet the vision of the director. Simply put, you never stop learning. To keep up with the demands of the industry, you’ll need to be able to solve problems in the moment with the director or cinematographer at your side.
Master Colorist David Cole sits down in the color bay to teach the fundamentals of color grading, beginning with essential terminology, showing what each term means, along with his professional approach. David imparts his passion together with crucial information and concepts to give you the confidence you need to become an expert colorist. Then, he takes that terminology and applies it directly to the screen providing you with real-time examples to help you understand even the most complex of techniques.
