CSI Chapter:AUSTRALIA - NEW ZEALAND |
Welcome to the Colorist Society's Australian and New Zealand chapter! This space is dedicated to local members to communicate, network, share and discover events, showcase work and techniques, and to be publicly discovered by producers and productions looking for work.
The feedback from fellow colourists encouraged the creation of this space - a space for local colourists, by local colourists. There is a want for the CSI to offer more for local members, and for membership fees to come back and enhance the offerings and events locally.
Our objective is to build a strong community, so we’d encourage feedback on what you’d like to see from your local chapter, including events, training sessions, hands on with new equipment, engagement with other societies including the ACS, NZCS and more.
We’re looking to build a detailed list of colourists from every state and territory, so please check your CSI member settings to make sure you’ve listed a business address otherwise the search filters will not work. With the updated details we’ll have a great community we can keep in touch with, and producers and production companies will be able to find local colourists too.
Thanks for being with us. We’re looking forward to building this community together.

CHAPTER EVENTSJoin Our Group Catch Up On October 18 at 7pm AEST, the Australia/New Zealand Chapter will host an online meeting via our Discord Group. Along with a general group catch up, it will include a discussion about working remotely with clients in a post-COVID world. We are looking to broaden our scope, so please invite friends and colleagues from the vision side of production and post-production to take part in the discussion and perhaps become members.
Baselight Training in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane Want to learn Baselight? FilmLight has shipped a system to OZ and it is available for official one-on-one training (one day or two). It can also be booked for solo 'hands on' at a time that suits you. The system has been in Melbourne for nearly a full two months now, and quite a few colourists have taken the opportunity to have a play or do some training. On the 16th of October, it will be shipped to The Post Lounge Sydney for two months, then it will be coming to Brisbane. Details are available on the FilmLight website. |
