Considering Colour
One of the exploring areas of cinematic production is Colour Grading and whilst the idea of colour manipulation for cinema aestehtics is as old as cinema itself, the prolification of the digital domain has taken Colour Grading as a creative process to a whole new level of both sophistication and acessability.
But whilst everyone might have access to a 3-way Colour Corrector this is a far cry from a tangible understanding of the duality of science and art (with just a touch of Philosophy) that is Colour Grading and the role of the Colourist.
So it is that would should thank colour professional
Kevin Shaw for his website FinalColor. Kevin has very genrously made public a set of concise and informative artices that explore some of the intricasies and sceience of colour grading and indeed of colour and light itself.
In particular his short articles
What is Colour and
When to Colour (PDF) are perfect for those who are wondering where to take the colour of their projects beyond just a contrast boost.
