What Is Red?: a Film Colorist Explains What a Colorist Does

Frederik Bokkenheuser, a colorist at the state-of-the-art post-production house PICTURE SHOP whose work includes #Archive81, talks about setting the mood and look of a project, and how post-production is like playing in a band.

Bokkenheuser also talks about why filmmakers shouldn't try to "fix it in post": "A lot of times you are actually stealing time from your own project by saying 'fix it in post.' When you point your camera at something, if it doesn't look good there, it isn't going to look good in post. ... We're able to do a lot of things in post, but fix it in pre — please?"

He also talks about the exciting job of reproducing past formats for Netflix's Archive 81. #filmmaking #movies #moviemaking #filmproduction #postproduction
