Hey Friend
It was great to meet up with peers and hear from this year's FilmLight Colour Awards this month at our Mixer in Poland. Meanwhile, Warren has just returned from the US having run sold-out classroom workshops with our partners AbelCine. If you are interested in hosting an iColorist workshop or would like a personal one-on-one class (at your location or via ZOOM) please email us for more details.
As we wind down, we reflect on a strange and disrupted year and all of our friends and peers affected by the strikes, war in Ukraine, Israel and Palestine, and other happenings.
We hope you and your loved ones are safe, and have a peaceful and warm break. Here's to resolution and progress in 2024!
If you find yourself with time on your hands over the holidays, grab an on-demand HDR or Resolve course now at 30% off until Mon, or revisit our tutorials, podcasts, and industry insights on iColorist.com to stay fresh and up-to-date.
Best wishes, Team iColorist Send us a message |

If you want to better understand colour and grading, but don't know where to start - or, if you want to go back to basics and refresh your knowledge end-to-end - this one's for you!
We often get asked what order to take classes in, or how to learn grading from the ground up. So in 2024, Kevin will run a full colour curriculum start to finish. Broken into three modules, these classes will cover everything so you can go from colour novice colour confidence in just SIX MONTHS.
Join at any point that suits your needs. Classes will be held online Saturdays 9am-12pm UK time.
Registration will open soon - but places are limited. Contact Kevin now to pre-book your spot. |
