Colorist Sean Coleman, formerly of Rushes/601, Los Angeles, has come aboard bicoastal Company 3’s Santa Monica shop. In his first project under the Company 3 banner, Coleman is handling final color correction on an adidas campaign directed by Lance Acord of Park Pictures, New York, for TBWA Worldwide, New York.
At Rushes/601, where he had been since 1999, Coleman was active in spots and music videos. His credits there included Nike’s "Before" helmed by Acord for Wieden+Kennedy, Portland, Ore., and five Nokia spots directed by Guy Ritchie (who has since joined bicoastal Anonymous Content for exclusive U.S. commercial representation) through The Richards Group, Dallas. The Nokia work debuted during this year’s Sugar Bowl college football game telecast. And Nike’s "Before" earned recognition at the ANDY Awards, One Show and D&AD competitions.
Among Coleman’s music video endeavors is "Mendocino County Line" for Willie Nelson and LeAnn Womack. Directed by Mark Seliger of Little Minx, Los Angeles, the clip won a Music Video Production Association Award in ’02 as best country music video. Coleman also served as colorist on the Seliger-helmed video "Stillness of the Heart" for artist Lenny Kravitz.
Coleman said that in joining Company 3, he is seeking to broaden the scope of his work in commercials and to explore new markets. He is especially interested in pursuing digital intermediate work for feature films, an area in which Company 3 has extensive experience. "Many of the commercial directors and DPs with whom I have worked have moved onto features, and I want to continue to work with them on those projects," related Coleman.
Company 3 is part of the Ascent Media Group family of companies. Ascent is headquartered in Santa Monica.
