Color Mentor

In this episode, I'll be talking to Thatcher Freeman. He's a California-based colorist and software engineer. For his day job, he's an actual AI specialist. He's made great contributions to the color grading and software coding communities. He's also a filmmaker, so I wanted to talk to him to find out what makes him tick.

We discuss:
- Thatcher's background in film making.
- The difficulties on finding resources on color theory.
- Current industry trends.
- A colorist's value.
- The combination of art and technology.
- Freelance pressures.
- Subtle vs Pushed graded.
- Things that break the signal.
- Personal taste in films and watching as a professional.
- Thatcher's DCTL library.
- Advice for DCTL coding.
- Current Research.
