February already!
2021 is shaping up to be another strange and paradigm-changing year. We hope it will bring you some opportunities in these challenging times, and that you can find the time, energy and passion to keep connected and growing from your home or wherever you are.
In that spirit we have lots of new free resources for you, as well as some discounted live classes coming up. Join us in February for our free webinar series on 'Demystifying post-production: shooting for the grade', or for our free 4-part course on Mistika 10, covering finishing and color grading.
Catch up on recent episodes of the Color Tour podcast to hear about other colorists and their development and roles, and don't forget that new sessions from the Colorist Mixer are going up every week for you to watch on demand.
Plus, some new on-demand classes from fxphd - an update for Resolve 17 coming soon and a comprehensive Introduction to HDR. Finally, check out the next few live classes, including courses on Resolve, Calibration, and Color Theory, a bilingual class for Taiwan, and a Spanish-language class on DaVinci Resolve.
Hope to see you all at some Mixers, classes or webinars soon! Stay safe and stay colorful, Team iColorist
