“The Skill Set of Professional Colorists”
Steve Hullfish, author, editor, producer
Steve Hullfish is an author, editor, producer, and all-around good guy. He’s written several books on digital production and color grading; including the particularly (and deservedly) well-received and original book on color grading, “The Art & Technique of Digital Color Correction“. In Part 1 we discuss:
- Shading Cameras
- Being trained by colorist Bob Sliga (circa 1997)
- Using scopes to develop a good ‘eye’
- Getting started with DV Magazine
- Publishing his first color correction book (NOT in black & white)
- Grading vs Correcting
- Working with a dozen professional colorists
- ‘Selling’ the grade
- Communicating with clients
