Colorist


While producing a TV series for PBS in the early 2000's, I developed a love for color grading and color-correction of footage. Starting first in Apple Color to deliver to the stringent specs of PBS, I soon moved to Davinci Resolve. Over the years I have been the colorist of hundreds of commercial / corporate video productions, music videos, feature films, and TV commercials.

I'll help your project look its best aesthetically and technically - for broadcast, web, or film festival. Rates scale with the scope of the project and I accept low-budget and pro-bono work from passionate creatives.


Testimonials

"As a Director of Photography, I do my best to make every shot look as good as it can. When I know Joseph will be the colorist on a project, I am able to film with confidence that whatever I bring him will look exceptionally better after his magic touch."
