UPDATE: MC Color training

This is the blog post where I explain when the training will be coming out - and why it isn't here yet..
 

This is the first tutorial I've created for TaoOfColor.com. It's not strictly about color grading - but since many graders also handle prepping and finishing duties, I thought this was a good tip to launch with. 
 
It also allowed me some quality time with my screen capture software to figure out my workflow for the more ambitious control surface training I'm recording. The above link will take you to Vimeo. It will be posted on TaoOfColor.com in the next day or so.
 

 
Feedback on this newsletter is always appreciated.
 
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!
