Colourist Training and Certification

CUSTOMISED TRAINING

As one of Blackmagic Design's officially Certified DaVinci Resolve Trainers and and Professionals, I offer both personalised and structured tuition using the industry standard colour grading software. Having conducted grading Masterclasses and demonstrations at  many major post-houses and Universities means whether it's in-house or you find yourself in one of my classes it's a great day and you'll get the best of what I have to offer for your learning experience.

In recent times, there has been huge demand for Zoom and online training sessions. It suits customers to study in the safety and comfort of their own environment and small groups get the most out of this type of training. Contact me here for customised training details.

I have trained aspiring and established colourists, great cinematographers, independent producers, editors and vfx specialists using Resolve. Artists have come from all over Australia and from large and small post & production houses bringing different levels of experience to the day. My unique, tailored curriculum focuses on grading theories, technical issues like HDR grading and RAW camera data, image processing pipeline and of course the tools to get the most from the application. We certainly don't follow the manual and always make sure to keep time aside for individual problem solving each day.

Along with the personalised training, I'm very proud to be associated with Digistor in Sydney to present DaVinci Resolve Certification Classes.

Thanks so much for the course last week. The amount of knowledge Cathy and Brad have on all of the software was incredible. They were able to impart there knowledge in many practical scenarios we discussed over the 3 days, very experienced and talented operators. They both mentioned that we could contact them at anytime in the future as well, really nice to meet them both. Thanks very much for your hospitality as well, you made Terry and I feel very welcomed at every stage of the visit. All the staff were very accommodating as well. Will definitely be recommending your courses to colleagues internally and externally of the NFSA. Thanks again. - Terry Stuetz Operator at NFSA

Hi Sarah, Randy thought the training with Brad was great. He came away with all of his long list of questions answered as well as more that evolved as they went. We found the process good too with the planning and discussion before the course very effective in making the most of the time on the day. Thanks for all your help in this. - Suzi Ting, Producer

I got a lot out of it and I'm putting everything I learnt to good use already grading a half hour TV show, jumping in the deep end I think is the term? I'm definitely interested in the advanced course if it happens so let me know once you guys have finalised details and I will hopefully be along for that one as well. Thanks again. - Max Thornhill, Editor Projekta
