Colorist

Denver Riddle

Hi I’m Denver.  Yeah I know like the city and no I wasn’t born or conceived there :P  In high school I borrowed my grandmother’s digital camcorder (the first "MiniDV" camera to the market which technically belonged to the university where she taught) and made extreme sports videos with my friends… luckily we returned it in one piece… She still doesn’t know what exactly I was using it for, shhh our little secret ;)From that moment forward I knew that I was destined to create things with video to either capture experiences or tell powerful stories.  When I discovered color grading I felt like it was a powerful extension of what I was capturing on camera.  A way to enhance the story and one of the keys to making it look like a big Hollywood production.And so I decided to pursue a career as a colorist but quickly found there weren’t many resources or many people willing to help.  It seemed like it was some sort of elitist club where you had pay your dues as an ‘assistant’ for a decade before you got a crack at the big fancy control surface.Well the good news is that isn’t the only way to do it and I did NOT do it that way.  I learned that armed with the right techniques and some practice it can really go a long ways and where it took me years to discover some of the techniques you can start learning them today!I’ve had the pleasure of working with various clients and fortune 500 companies, from national commercial spots to feature films, from the U.S. Ski Team to Facebook and Instagram.  I've been able to help thousands enjoy what I love and you can trust my experience and my commitment to hold nothing back.Do something great today and create what you love!

I really appreciate being walked through each step in a hands on style so that I can learn quickly. I benefit much more with this teaching style over simply watching a lecture and taking notes because its training me to use the tools right away. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this!

Impressive result, well explained. Focus is purely on the technical how-to. Also great to have the sample files for self-trial. I kind of miss the science part behind it but it works.

I was sceptical, but found this excellent. My only quibble is that sometimes the tutor assumes knowledge.
