CSI Website Re-Design

Colorist Society International has a new look, and the re-designed website is now live.

CSI improved the look and feel of the website to better reflect the relevancy of the colorist within the motion picture and television industry.  The photos and movie posters featured on the site are the work of our member colorists and DITs.

Your name AND photo are now featured on the CSI Roster. Full Members should log into their accounts and update their profile by uploading a 300x300 photo.

CSI remains committed to giving you, our members, a more effective online experience. 



                                                                                                                      


Colorist Mixer
2017

 
How Long Does It Take To Color Grade A Video


The NAB Colorist Mixer was the best one yet.

Over 300 colorists, filmmakers, and industry executives celebrated the 5th annual Mixer high atop Las Vegas on the 108th floor of the Stratosphere Tower.


If you missed out this year and could not attend take heart.  Plans are already underway for next year’s Mixer In the Meantime, be sure to make plans to attend the Colorist Mixer at IBC in Amsterdam in September.

Warren Eagles, CSI, set out to answer the question every producer inevitably asks their colorist: how long will it take to grade this?

“Obviously, every TVC, movie or music video is different, so a rough guide is the best you can offer your client without seeing the footage. These examples are based on average budget projects. Hollywood movies and big TVCs will always take longer.”

See www.redsharknews.com for the complete story.

                                                      

One of the Most Sought After Postcards at NAB

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a moving picture is worth millions.

CSI proudly stands behind every word on the postcards that were given out during this year’s convention.

“Our members are the best professional colorists, DITs, color timers, finishers, color scientists working in motion pictures & television.

Jesse Glucksman, CSI‏ received credit for his latest work… “before the scroll. Happy to share the title credit space with the AE, who came through in the clutch & also deserves it.”



Mark Todd Osborne, CSI emailed us to say, “I’ve included a few pics from a couple of feature films coming out that have the 'CSI’ attached to my name: “A Little Something for Your Birthday” (starring Sharon Stone), and a Sci-Fi movie called “Replicate.”




Congratulations Jesse and MTO.
