Stephen Nakamura – Company 3<\/h3>\n

\"oz\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stephen Nakamura is probably one of the most famous colorists around<\/strong> and works out of Company 3. His huge credit list<\/a> (80+ titles!) reads like a hit list of the best films for the past 20 years. You can see him grading some shots from David Fincher’s Panic Room<\/em> and Se7en<\/em> here<\/a>, but more importantly check out this interview about his technical and\u00a0artistic\u00a0approach to grading Oz The Great and Powerful<\/em> on the Digital Production Buzz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Aidan Farrell – The Farm<\/h3>\n

Aidan Farrell is a BAFTA winning colorist (for his careers work) and co-founder of The Farm post house in London. In this great podcast from FXGuide<\/a> Aidan shares some highlights and insights from his 25 plus years as a colorist<\/strong>. As an interesting aside he only works exclusively with Digital Vision’s Nucoda system. For extra colorist fun check out the other two colorist interviews on FX Guide’s site with Steven Scott<\/a>\u00a0(Cowboys & Aliens, Tree of Life, \u00a0Iron Man 2, Children of Men)\u00a0<\/em>and Peter Doyle<\/a>\u00a0(Lord of the Rings<\/em>\u00a0x3, Harry Potter x6<\/em>,\u00a0King Kong)<\/em><\/p>\n

Patrick Inhoffer – Thriving as a Colorist<\/h3>\n

In this Google Hangout conversation Tom Parish interviews<\/a> colorist and trainer Patrick Inhoffer on how to thrive as a colorist in 2013<\/strong>. Its great to hear how those who aren’t the global color grading super stars (everyone else) can up their game in 2013, find more work and become better colorists. At the beginning of the interview Tom mentions Mixing Light<\/a> which is a brand new membership site from Patrick Inhoffer, Robbie Carman and Dan Moran.<\/p>\n
