Post NAB 2024 I was invited to the latest Colorist Society Hollywood meet up. Held on the rooftop at the Godfrey Hotel in Hollywood I chatted to a number of top colorists in attendance about how and why they joined the Chapter and what they are currently working on.

During my recent trip to the US I caught up with Christopher Young owner and Colorist at See Why Color in Brooklyn.

Thomas is the senior colorist and CEO of the Post House 'The Look.' They are responsible for shows like Sex Education, Top Boy and Landscapers.

The Color Tour Podcast is back with a fantastic live on YouTube Live chat re NAB/Colorist Mixer 2023.

Intro - Hosts: Warren Eagles, Kevin Shaw, Jeff Greenberg and 10 special guests

Kali grew up in a small country town. She progressed from Film School to junior coloring jobs via editing to the dizzy heights of grading Elvis. We chat about the early days of grading for tattoos right up to being a VFX colorist at D-Neg in Vancouver.

Darren has been colouring for over 20 years but has recently been better known for his Resolve tips YouTube Channel. He is also a producer, making high end corporate content shooting around the world.  I visited in July so ideal for our pub courtyard colorist chit chat session.

Rebecca Goodeve has a ton of varied experience for someone so young. She has worked at both large and boutique post houses, and built her own boutique post house in Leigh on Sea

Dave Hughes is an old school film colorist who worked all over Europe before returning to Ireland to run a Baselight at Windmill Lane in Dublin.

I recently chatted to one of Africa's leading Color Graders the ‘Accidental Colorist' Bobola Oniwura.

Maxine is a Hollywood A list Colorist. Her credits include big tent pole titles like Book of Eli and Black Panther in a list of over 60 films.

Setyo is as he says laughing, "I'm one of three gun colorists in Malaysia" He was born in Indonesian before moving to KL. He scored a job at the Blackmagic Design Post House as a VT op and worked his way up to being a senior colorist. Setyo now runs his own Color grading shop in KL.

Bob Festa has been coloring for nearly 40 years. As he says, "there is nothing I haven’t seen in front or behind me in a session!"

Gino is one of the leading color graders in Peru. I first met Gino when he came to my iColorist NYC class in 2012. It was great catching up again for the CT Podcast.

Juan started his first company aged 17 in Madrid, Spain. He prepped for his first color grade by reading the Mistika manual on a 5 hour car drive from Madrid to Malaga. Once in Malaga he graded his first short film and his career as a colorist was launched. 

I visited Toby at CHEAT in 2018. It is a fantastic facility situated in Hackney East London, very close to where I went to school. We checked out his facility and then went to his local pub for a pie and a pint

Walter is one of the world's leading Color graders. He has coloured over 100 features including Green Book, Star Wars The Last Jedi, and Dunkirk. Walter is currently working for Company 3.

Junbin Chen is one of the top colorists based in Singapore. This is our pre COVID-19 chat that took place at a post house called Iceberg. JB has coloured over 25 features, 20 TV series and 100s of TVCs.

Chema Alba is one of Spain’s premier color graders. Chema talks about the transition from film grader to coloring Netflix TV shows. He started out at a film scanning company. Handling film gave him the taste for colouring so he pursued the big manufactures to loan him a machine so he could practice.
This showed his enthusiasm, because at the time he wasn’t a colorist and the systems were over $300,000!

Marc Wielage is a veteran Colorist based in Hollywood. He has been grading for 40 years and has the credits and stories to prove it. The chat starts at his shop in Hollywood before moving to legendary Hollywood restaurant Canters. Lots of people know him from the many different color forums he follows. Marc has helped many colorists at all levels, so this is a chance to get his backstory.
