Today’s Lab
Mark Todd Osborne Says It All…
Mark Todd Osborne has been a Colorist for around 25 years now, based in Los Angeles, and is a fellow member of both the Colorist Society International and the Digital Cinema Society.
Recently he came out with a statement that is short and simple but says so much about our new place in the digital film community – one that is not always appreciated. “A colorist is an extension of cinematography, and we should always be in good communication with our DPs before, during and after production. Remember, the colorist is the new lab. We need to make the best decisions on how we will process digital camera negative properly and efficiently in order to be able to apply a consistent and pleasing creative grade throughout the project.”
