CT201 Color Therapy mentoring class 1 day
CT201 Color Therapy mentoring class 1 day
This new mentoring class is ideal if you have a good understanding of the software but still have lots of un-answered questions about the industry in general. This is not a technical class, more of an information session on how and why I do things.
It features my ideas on how to best tackle a session at the same time as managing your client’s expectations. My aim is to make it as close as possible to simulating a junior working with a senior colorist in a full time position.
“Working with clients successfully is something you have to work at. It doesn’t come naturally for most, but confidence in the software will mean increased confidence in yourself. In turn this will reflect in front of your clients.
More and more colorists are working alone, this has been heightened by the knock on of the Coronavirus restrictions. The days of bouncing ideas from a fellow colorist down the hall, or sitting with a senior colorist like I did are not very achievable options in 2022.

Frequently asked questions
What kit do I need?
A laptop or desktop PC or Mac capable of running the latest Resolve software. 2 monitors mean you can watch the training on one monitor then use Resolve on the other monitor. Headphones and mic. Check you have a stable internet connection suitable for ZOOM with the ability to download around 15GB of media.
When are your group workshops?
My hope is to run a workshop every week when not grading a movie. They will rotate through RG101, RG201, RG204, RG301 & CT202. They will also rotate between time zones.
What if the class is not be in my time zone?
True, a fixed time zone will not suit everybody, so we plan to run in different time zones with a moderator/translator used where needed.

Please e-mail any requests with ‘How to do’ questions and I’ll do my best to fit them into the workshop. Questions are encouraged through out the workshop and are an important part of group learning.
