Our names are buried deep in the long list of film credits, and our names and contributions to Oscar nominated motion pictures are rarely if ever talked about in acceptance speeches. But you can be sure of one thing: Colorist Society International is working to change all that.
 CSI was formed with the deeply held belief to help give a voice to the colorist, just as there is recognition for our colleagues in the fields of editing, sound mixing, sound editing, and cinematography.
For now, though, we must be content to read in silence the names of the colorists who helped co-author the beautiful images for the motion pictures nominated for Best Picture, and Best Cinematography.
You can read the list here in silence. For now. But not in silence for long.
Getting Credit
Rebecca Goodeve, CSI
Rebecca emailed us to say, "I'm currently grading a feature, Making Noise Quietly,which I think will be the first feature (that isn't a documentary) that I've actually caught them before they've already done the credits to make sure they've got the CSI in there." Congratulations Rebecca!

Irwin Young: Film Processing History
and Color Blindness
Mitch Jacobson, Alliance member of CSI, is a New York City-based editor/colorist. He is the owner of Category Five Studios and author of Mastering Multicamera Techniques (Focal Press).
 Mitch Jacobson
Mitch recently talked with the legendary Irwin W. Young, the 90 year-old owner and chairman of DuArt Media Services. Irwin is a pioneering film innovator, angel-to-the-artists, and an expert in his field – and he is colorblind.
 “Being colorblind made me very attuned to black and white images in the area of contrast and how it looked or if there were any defects or problems in the film. Because I had this handicap, I was excellent. I had an advantage in my training because I didn’t have the color Irwin W. Young
and my eyes are more Owner & Chairman
perceptive to neutral DuArt Media Services
densities”.
