The first-ever\u00a0FilmLight\u00a0<\/span>Colour Awards<\/strong>\u00a0has received an enthusiastic welcome from professionals across the imaging industry.<\/p>\n While the awards programme has been initiated by\u00a0FilmLight<\/span>, the awards are platform-agnostic and open to users of any grading system, from juniors to veterans, independents or those representing large global facilities.<\/p>\n \u201cI have worked internationally with colourists for over 15 years and have always been fascinated by the different ways that they respond to a picture,\u201d said\u00a0Jacqueline Loran<\/strong>, Director at\u00a0FilmLight<\/span>. \u201cThey are an incredibly hard-working set of creative people. I could see that recognition of the craft was something the industry was perhaps lacking, and this was a sentiment shared by the rest of the team at\u00a0FilmLight<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAs testimony to this gut reaction, the response has been overwhelming: we are genuinely delighted it got off to such a successful start. We are heartened to see that entries came from around the world and from people with so many different skillsets.\u201d<\/p>\n A global panel* of 17 industry luminaries, including cinematographers\u00a0Bradford Young<\/strong>,\u00a0Anthony Dod Mantle<\/strong>,\u00a0Danny Cohen<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Shanker Rama<\/strong>n<\/strong>, along with senior colourists\u00a0Peter Doyle<\/strong>,\u00a0Simon Astbury<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Anne Boyle<\/strong>, have embraced the initiative and started judging hundreds of creative projects.<\/p>\n Beatriz Pineda<\/strong>, Sr. Director, Non-Linear Distribution & New Technologies, HBO Latin America, commented: \u201cAs imaging technology leaps forward, we have also become more creative. Diversity of streaming platforms, higher standards for picture quality, new technologies for content processing and distribution… the possibilities for design and expression have expanded tremendously.”<\/p>\n \u201cIn Latin America for instance, I’ve witnessed a boost in quality, talent, and creative ideas on set and in post. I’m sure it will show through in this competition.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s often hard to quantify what a good colourist brings to a project \u2013 that inscrutable \u2018fairy dust’ that we sprinkle\u201d, said colourist\u00a0Jet Omoshebi<\/strong>. \u201cIt is nice to come out of the shadows and celebrate excellent talent with an award of our own.\u201d<\/p>\n Cinematographer\u00a0Eben Bolter<\/strong>, BSC, agreed. \u201cI\u2019m delighted to be joining a jury that will shine a light on colourists and celebrate their invaluable contribution to the art of cinematography. The DI allows us to reconvene and confront the reality of what happened on the shoot, making it the best visual story it can possibly be.\u201d<\/p>\n The programme has also benefited from the support of the American Society of Cinematographers, Imago (the International Federation of Cinematographers) and CSI (Colorist Society International).<\/p>\n The jury is now evaluating all the entries, with a shortlist of three in each of the four categories to be announced at the end of October. The winners will be announced as part of the\u00a0EnergaCAMERIMAGE 2021<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0event in mid-November. Recognising that people still struggle to travel, the awards presentation ceremony will be live streamed.\u00a0<\/p>\n In closing,\u00a0FilmLight\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Jacqueline Loran\u00a0<\/strong>said, \u201cI wish all our participants good luck. There are some truly excellent entries.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n ###<\/strong><\/p>\n *The judging panel<\/strong><\/p>\n Bradford Young<\/strong>, cinematographer, USA ###<\/strong><\/p>\n About FilmLight<\/strong> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Judging has begun, with a shortlist to be announced at the end of October and the winners revealed at\u00a0EnergaCAMERIMAGE\u00a0in November…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":28892,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[573,572],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wiadomosci-energacamerimage-2021","category-energacamerimage-2021"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.camerimage.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28883"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.camerimage.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.camerimage.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.camerimage.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.camerimage.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28883"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/archive.camerimage.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28883\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28893,"href":"https:\/\/archive.camerimage.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28883\/revisions\/28893"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.camerimage.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.camerimage.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.camerimage.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.camerimage.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/archive.camerimage.pl\/assets\/uploads\/2021\/10\/home_colourawards_fulljury_v6-01.jpeg\")
