Like a major league baseball catcher, the true mark of a seasoned colorist is the agility and ability to move the mitt around and dive for a wild pitch being flung from the mound. Like the best major league pitchers; even the best directors of photography will throw a low screaming outside curve into the dirt on occasion. It could be a technical glitch, a jumbo jet in the sky behind a 17th century love scene, somebody tripped over a cable at just the wrong moment, an assistant hit the wrong switch and burned something in….
Our job here is to keep the ball in play, and here is our challenge:
Send us your worst footage. We may be able to work with it. Footage that may be considered useless may actually be productively salvageable. This is less expensive than sending a dozen people out for a 10 second re-shoot. That said, we will not subject you to a wallet cleaning for our work, but we are fair and do not work for food. Usually.
Yes, before you ask, we can do 8k…..but bring your own hard drives.
