2025 LOOK DESIGN MASTERCLASS

10 hours of classes on grading, including case studies, look design, color management and more.

Toni is an independent colorist with over 15 years experience who works with notable post and production houses in the Philippines. She also offers her services internationally as a fully equipped remote colorist. Outside of moving images, she continues to pursue photography as a personal creative outlet. 

 

Toni entered the colouring scene fresh off university, when Film and Digital struggled to be the status quo, and formal training as a colourist was limited. This led her to more than a decade long path of learning and training on the job. Nonetheless, she had the opportunity to receive intensive training under the International Colorist Academy, and Certification as a Trainer for international brand, Blackmagic Design, specifically for Da Vinci Resolve. She has also received an Award of Merit for Color Treatment from the Cinema World Fest Award for her work in the 2018 film, “Quezon’s Game”.

 

With a firm belief that knowledge should be shared and to pay it forward, Toni is a seasonal professional lecturer at her Alma Mater, De La Salle University where she majored in Communication Arts. She teaches Post Production and an elective course on Color Grading, mentoring the next generation of visual storytellers. And, most recently, she has joined iColorist as one of their trainers, sharing knowledge across the world.


Toni will teach online and in person in English and Filipino.
