Dalby comes to DigitalFilm Tree from NBCUniversal with prior tenures at Modern VideoFilm and Laser Pacific. He has served as final colorist for such iconic shows as “Cheers,” “The Wonder Years,” “Friends,” “Everybody Loves Raymond,” “Parenthood” and “Friday Night Lights,” for which he was nominated for an HPA Award for Outstanding Color Grading–Television.
Ramy Katrib, CEO/founder of DFT, said of Dalby, “He is one of the top colorists in the industry and continues to build amazing relationships with DPs and producers through his outstanding creative work.”
“I enjoy working at DFT because it’s a boutique facility and our team is very collaborative,” says Dalby of his move to DigitalFilm Tree. “I also like that we are a beta test site for Black Magic Design’s DaVinci Resolve, so I actually get to test out new builds and give feedback.”
