Got laid off a couple of weeks ago. I worked with a fantastic team, and I’ll definitely miss them. I took some time to regroup and am now ready to embark on my next adventure.

Monica is one of my most favorite people.

She epitomizes the adage "the greats give back".

Now, it's our turn to be great.

One editing lesson I learned early on is, even if you know a scene or sequence won't work (because you might have the ability to cut it in your head beforehand)... you need to spend the time to cut it to the best of your ability so that the powers that be see that it won't work. And take their notes

Keep an archived copy handy of every DCTL version you ever use in a grade.

Future you will thank past you.

Resolve does not save them with its libraries nor in exported/archived projects.

Anora, this year’s best picture Oscar winning film, was color graded by Alastor Arnold!

He was the featured colorist in a short doc series about color in movies that I really enjoyed making for Portrait Displays.

Check it out to learn about his approach to color grading:

To see why uploading BT.1886 to YouTube is problematic

On any Mac display, load the Severance trailer on YouTube in Safari, choose a frame and compare directly against the same frame from the episode in the TV app

Now adjust display brightness and note how differently the image responds in each

I say it all the time but the Edit Index inside Resolve is one of the best tools to use when conforming. I use it on every project, yes, every single project. #postchat

Netflix should do a show about a late nineties one hit wonder and hire me on to do one of those consultant jobs where you don't have to do very much but you make lots of money

Wanted to hit on a #postchat #postsky #filmsky topic many experience but don’t talk about: IMPOSTER SYNDROME - I don’t care who you are, you’ve experienced it on some level. I’ve been editing 15yrs for streamers, networks, and still experience it CONSTANTLY. So how do I manage it?🧵👇
