This is the fourth installment of the world's most regarded training for professional colorists available today. With this training, we are creating a new generation of colorists who grow into professionals' ranks by acquiring necessary skills in a new and alternative way.
About
Colour Grading is traditionally acquired by transferring skills from Senior Colorist to his/her Assistant. Usually, the path to a professional colorist job would lead from a junior or assistant position at a post-production company. Depending on a person’s ability and sheer chance, one would gradually progress and grow into a Senior Colorist Position.
However, this cycle of new talent development has now become entirely obsolete. Post-Production companies have gradually stopped hiring junior staff, and this practice has now wholly ground to a halt.
Potentially this poses a severe issue for the entire industry. As the art and science of Color Grading are advancing faster than ever before, so grows the demand for skilled and experienced professionals. But if we do not have a clear path for skills development, the question is, how are we going to continue growth and meet up that demand.
We need to help a new generation of colorists grow into professionals’ ranks by acquiring necessary skills in a new and alternative way.
