Getting Credit

“All I did was simply ask for my onscreen credit to include CSI after my name. The Producer and the Director said, ‘no problem.’”

Colorist and CSI co-founder Jim Wicks asked for – and received – CSI credit for his work as Digital Intermediate Supervising Colorist on the feature motion picture ‘Monserrate, ¿cómo el cerro?’

The romantic comedy was shot in Miami and Columbia and is set for wide release in Latin America.

Said Jim: “You do the work – you should be getting credit for it.”

When you get CSI credit for your work, send us a high res photo and we’ll recognize your contribution in the newsletter.  Email us the photo and film information at: admin@coloristsociety.com


CSI Forums

Don’t forget there are two CSI forums.

If you are an associate or alliance member, the forum is a great place to ask questions or discuss things out of public view. There are some good forums out there, but sometimes it is better to discuss things among ourselves. Most recently, Roel Videler posted some helpful resources to the Associate forum. The main thread on the full member forum is a discussion on our goals and how to get there.


Both Member areas have exclusive CSI discounts, software suggestions, and download pages. If you have something to share, or something you are looking for use the forums or send it to admin@coloristsociety.com


As always, we appreciate our sponsors (and hope to add more to the list).

If you have news, photos, projects your working on, etc. that you would like to share with your CSI fellow members in future newsletters – send us an email at admin@coloristsociety.com with all the details.

Happy Grading!

Best, Jim and Kevin
