Hey Friend
It’s IBC 2025 week, and for the first time in 20 years I won’t be at the event as I am grading a feature doc here in OZ. I love the Amsterdam show and will miss catching up with all my industry friends.
Kevin, Nikolai, Diego, Blake and Gregg will be available on the show floor and at the Mixer. Reach out to say hi or to discuss any of your training needs.
In the meantime I have an IBC special -25% discount on my fxphd Resolve training and have announced an advanced class RG201 via ZOOM to be run in October.
Please check out our schedule below and if you're lucky enough to be heading to IBC, enjoy!

Why does colour sometimes shift from screen to screen, projector to projector - even when the image is the same? That’s Metamerism. | |
