- This is a shortened edition of the Tao Colorist Newsletter.
- Your Publisher has been in Alberta, Canada this week enjoying the Great White North... with an amazing tour guide that many of you
know...
- Edmonton-based colorist Joe Owens C.S.I. had my Mixing Light partner, Robbie Carman C.S.I., and myself talk to local filmmakers about color grading, ACES, the Resolve Collaborative workflow, HDR and LUTs.
- The group of filmmakers were terrific. Robbie and I thank them and Joe Owens for hosting us!
- Of course, us East Coast USA kids couldn't just fly-in and
fly-out.
- I share this with you to explain why you don't have a full-blown Newsletter in your hands.
- But as 'they' say: There's always next week.
- We'll be back with a full edition in 7 days.
- Take the extra time this shortened Newsletter gives you by getting outside and enjoying nature for a bit. I heartily recommend it!
Happy Grading! |
