Oliver Ojeil, CSI successfully petitioned to be included in the opening title credits for the new thriller “Shut In” in what he hopes will become standard industry practice.
“Give credit where credit is due,” seems like a simple proposition, but for colorists, it’s often been an elusive goal. When it comes to credit sequences for feature films and television shows, colorists often find their names listed far down in the end crawl or maybe not included at all. Considering that their work impacts every frame that appears on the screen, many colorists think that’s unfair.
The Colorist Society and International Colorist Academy (iColorist) marked the passing of 2021 with an upbeat virtual Mixer featuring a terrific line-up of speakers, tons of great prizes, and a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with old friends. Colorists and others from around the world logged into the 6-hour Zoom event, held December 4, whose sponsors included AbelCine, Dell, Dolby, Flanders Scientific (FSI), fxphd, Maxon, Mixing Light, Colorfront and SGO.
iColorist is continuing Color Space Cadets, its monthly series of interactive livestreams. The series began in response to high demand for ongoing learning during the pandemic as many professionals have had to forgo opportunities to improve their skills due to travel restrictions and limited funds. Color Space Cadets hosts discussions on film, color, grading and post-production with leading industry experts. The series is streamed live on YouTube on the last Thursday of every month. In the January installment, Heather Hay, founder of Mexico City post house Roman Rae, joined iColorist instructors Diego Yhama, Warren Eagles and Kevin Shaw for a lively discussion on grading for the internet. You can replay the session here.
