SOON, WHAT IT IS TO BE A COLORIST?

Being a colorist, is one of the most complex activities within the area of video and post-production ...

 The colorist is actually the professional who creates an atmosphere through the colors, making the film more consistent with the final purpose of the project. Whatever it is. Running so that everything is more harmonious with the concept of the film.

And in fact, it creates high value in the captured images. Making them unique, unique. For the truth is that, to construct specific atmospheres, it takes diverse questions: they are technical, they are artistic or of much aesthetic sensibility.

But I believe that the very essence is knowing how to perceive and capture in a very different way, through his trained look, all the pertinent details of the scenes and the project as a whole.

The colorist definitely creates the personality of an image, a scene, a context, an environment of a movie.

It is also true that resources today are much more accessible, but ownership, mastery in work, is achieved in continuous exercise. With a lot, a lot of training, Nothing different from this. Having software A or B, does not make you a professional. "To have is not to be." I always say this to people, although some people are surprised by this.

It is not enough to "have" certain programs. And today there are many options: Apple's DaVinci Resolve, Technicolor, Color Grading and Color are just a few. And this professional, in professional practice, will be required equally on both sides of the brain. The left and right brain will work simultaneously, to enhance and apply the analytical sense and

The aesthetic sense. My experience in this sense began in fact, already in college design time, where it was absurdly curious for graphic production, printing systems and consequently color management.

Understand light, understand how light changes and integrates into color. In my opinion, adding more or less light, is the most complex component and also the most important for good color construction. Understand the color nuance and its variables.

Understand how the base composition of colors are determined: Hue, Saturation and Intensity.

I really like using this expression: build.

For it is a construction indeed, most of the time. Gradual and evolutionary in image quality.

In addition of course, a high dose of same natural ability. It's like driving: almost, anyone can learn.

But to become a successful racing driver is for the few. To become pilot, only the especilalistas conquer this level. It is very important also, to learn well the engineering of the video, because the colorist is actually the last to move in images and must be aware that their material is within the various technical standards, specific formats and purposes existing on TV and Cinema. The keen perception and aesthetic sensibility are decisive in the final quality of the work. It's no use reading books, taking courses, studying colors, if you do not have a good, "trained" look, really trained.

The gift is with you or not. And he, it's natural like that. Being a good colorist depends on your natural ability to perceive details, as well as on the technical knowledge acquired. And for this reason, more is required of this professional. It's like learning to drive. Almost, anyone can. But to become a successful racing driver is for the few. Having the color domain, being built, is critical.

I really like this expression, "built".

And seeing ink being mixed, sensing this sensory process, is of vital importance. That's why I lost count of how many graphics I visited in each piece of work that I followed in the off-set "mouth of the machine". Of course offset uses the CMYK system and RGB video. But making blends of color is of utmost importance, be it in the 2 processes. To train the look, this is everything

For a colorist. It is vitally important to understand the temperature of the colors and the sensations that they mainly provoke. Applying the proper exposure and filters will allow you to produce high quality images.

A work done with property in color, creates a huge differentiation in the atmosphere of the video. This is a fact. Creates value in the video. We can not forget also that the masters of classical painting have taught us much,

Because we will have to work the perception and develop the critical sense of enlightenment. Rembrandt, can you show us these concepts of light and the use of colors, in their balance.

Balancing, will always be the key word, everything. You need to understand that different color systems of a video or film can reproduce different results when displayed on different vehicles.

Being a good colorist is not easy at all. And by the way, nothing that is truly personalized will be.

NEVER.

For it requires multiple knowledge and tireless practice. That's why in the market many are publishers, but few are colorful.

Working color without criteria can do more harm than good. Being a good colorist, involves a rare mix of technical and artistic knowledge, but mainly, a privileged look with a high critical sense. It is a profession that requires constant learning because technology changes all the time. And this requires a responsibility to change the final images of every project, since this is the last step.

This profession is quite challenging, but very rewarding, because the colorist certainly builds concepts and languages in the video. He is responsible for the quality of the scenes of a good movie. Be it a movie, commercial, social or cultural film. TV series or any other vehicle that needs qualified images.

When possible, observe and compare the raw images and also those edited by colorists ... It will be an invitation, for a great trip ...

To the next!!!
