This episode is sponsored by Colorist Society International and Mixinglight.com. On this episode of the Colorist Podcast, I continue the conversation with Director, Writer, and Colorist, Alexis Van Hurkman. In the last episode, I talked with Alexis about how he got his start in post, his experience at Apple, and starting his own boutique grading facility. There was so much great conversation in the podcast that I needed to break it into two separate shows. In this episode, we dive deeper into the tech side of grading. In the last five years, there’s been dramatic changes in color technology. High Dynamic Range (HDR) is making it’s way into the mainstream, and color managed workflows are improving with each day. And with that “bigger box of crayons,” we have more options when creating looks. The creative and the technical elements in grading are closely linked. In part two, we discuss:  The “Color Correction Look Book” and how to create subtle grades When to push a look further then your comfort level Grading HDR and the “hierarchy of highlights” Will HDR change the way that colorists grade Using ACES, Resolve Color Management, Truelight and other color management workflows The Colorist Society and how it will benefit the community in the future    HDR, Resolve, and Creative Grading by Alexis Alexis Van Hurkman Blog Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Ripple Training  Amazon: Titles by Alexis Van Hurkman   This episode is sponsored by:   Colorist Society International For more information on how you can become a member, visit, www.coloristsociety.com.

Episode 016: Alexis Van Hurkman, Part 2

This episode is sponsored by Colorist Society International and Mixinglight.com. Director, writer, and colorist, Alexis Van Hurkman joins me on this episode of the Colorist Podcast.  There’s been many twists and turns in the career of Alexis Van Hurkman. He bounced around from audio, editorial, graphics, and visual effects. Ultimately, each of those steps in his journey contributed to his skills as a colorist. Along with grading his own projects, he’s finished programs for The History Channel, The Learning Channel, BBC Four, and WNET. Many listeners will recognize Alexis’s book titles, “The Color Correction Handbook” and “The Color Correction Look Book,” as well as the manuals for Apple Color, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve. He’s also created several training titles with Ripple Training, featuring the newest features in Resolve. This epic podcast was one of the longest I’ve recorded yet. So long, in fact, that I’ve decided to split it up into two separate episodes. There’s a ton of great info and I didn’t want to lose any of it. In the first part, we talk about:  The complicated path in becoming a colorist   How writing increased his color knowledge and skills How he ended up working at Apple   Working with and without a color control panel   How the Fairlight page effects colorists Parallels between audio and color   Learning to work in a client driven environment Visual Effects and how it contributes to a colorist’s skills Starting his own one man boutique grading facility    Alexis Van Hurkman Blog   Twitter   Facebook   LinkedIn   Ripple Training    Amazon: Titles by Alexis Van Hurkman   This episode is sponsored by:   Colorist Society International For more information on how you can become a member, visit, www.coloristsociety.com.
