| Digital Media World gives Aussie colorist Deidre McClellan, CSI, a nice write up on her workflow on the film, ‘True Blue.’ “McClelland cites careful use of Color Boost in DaVinci Resolve Studio’s Color Match palette as a great way to get the most out of the colors of the outback.” The film, shot on ARRI Alexa and RED Epic, work within the authentic color palette of the region where the film was shot.  Dee McClelland, CSI
Says Dee, “With so many different looks to define and keep track of, this ability to create several versions and display them on the screen for the client to assess was a great help.” You can read more about Dee and her workflow here: http://www.digitalmediaworld.tv It is good to be recognized for the work we do and the craft we bring to the projects we work on.

This means that all CSI Full Members who work on productions listed at IMDb can now choose their CSI designation at the Guild Affiliations page of IMDbPro. This is reserved for CSI Full Members only. Said CSI co-founder Jim Wicks, “CSI represents a unified voice for the professional colorist in the film and digital entertainment industry. The partnership with IMDb further solidifies and promotes our craft within the industry.” | A CSI committee was formed with the idea of preparing language and core ideas to be used in legal and contract documents to help colorists with their clients. Dario Bigi, Marc Wielage, and Josh Petok, all CSI Full Members, are working together, and will submit their results to the leadership.

Margus Voll, CSI, emailed us with this in the subject line, “Time To Be a Bit Proud.”
“The film I color graded received the ASC Spotlight Award,” wrote Margus. “Maybe it is important, as well, for Colorist Society International.” Most definitely.
“It’s really essential that color timing, digital or otherwise, be recognized as an art form and should be part of the Academy,” says Dale.
Dale, who was an early and enthusiastic supporter of Colorist Society International, talks exclusively with Josh Petok in the latest episode of The Colorist Podcast. You can listen to the Podcast here:
