In this episode, I talk with Mark Todd Osborne, a colorist in Los Angeles with over 18 years of experience. He has worked on films like Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End, Bad Boys II, Hugo, Need for Speed, as well as many commercials and music videos.

Mark got his start at Company 3 and spent 11 years there working with top colorists Stefan Sonnefeld, Dave Hussey, and Mike Pethel. 

He also spent some time at Cameron | Pace, working on stereoscopic projects on Quantel Pablo.

What’s most impressive about Mark’s career is ability to work in many different genres. Working in commercials, television, cinema, music videos, and even video games has been part of his successful career. 

In this interview, we talk about:

 

  • The challenges and benefits of being a freelance colorist
  • Using social media and how it impacts getting booked on jobs
  • Demo reels and the strategy behind them
  • Other colorist’s work that has inspired him
  • Working on your own system vs working at a facility
  • How grading on other systems can effect how you color
  • Doing VFX and roto during color sessions
  • Advice for new colorists
  • Where the business of color grading is going next

In this episode of the Colorist Podcast, I talk with Gray Marshall, Associate Finishing Artist at Technicolor in Los Angeles. At Technicolor, Gray has worked on the films Bridge of Spies, The Revenant, Captain America: Civil War, Ant-Man, and many others.

 

But before making his way into color, Gray worked in many other parts of the industry. His roots were in the camera department of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and later went on to being a VFX supervisor and owning his own company, Gray Matter Post. Gray is probably best known for epic VFX shots like the building collapse at the end of Fight Club. Working in all these different departments has given him a unique perspective on the industry. 

 

Some of the topics we cover:

 

  • When VFX should be done by a colorist
  • Working in Lustre and why colorists don’t use a panel with it
  • Should grading be completed before or after a visual effects shot
  • Stereoscopic challenges in grading
  • Comparing tools in color and VFX
  • The current state of ACES
  • The future of high end color grading, VR, and HDR

His commercial credits include work for IKEA, Jaguar and Levis, as well as the movies “Monsters” and “Streetdance 3D.”  In addition to his work as a colorist, Kevin is a founding member of the Colorist Society International, as well as a trainer for ICA.
