Lee cited Company 3’s high caliber work and talent roster, noting that it’s a shop where she has always wanted to work. “I can’t think of a better place for me to get the support that I need for both commercials and long form.”
Lee’s recent credits campaigns with brands such as Rolex, WhatsApp, Volkswagen, Land Rover, Audi, Patek Philippe and Valentino, among many others. She has worked frequently with director Anton Corbijn, including on his renowned music videos with Depeche Mode and U2. Her recent collaborations with director Autumn de Wilde include the incredible visuals for Florence and the Machine’s much-anticipated releases “Heaven is Here” and “My Love.”
Lee joins the roster of colorists based out of Company 3 London’s shared home with Framestore. Lee will reunite with company 3’s sr. colorist/head of color Jean-Clement Soret and EP Ellora Soret with whom she has collaborated for many years.
Ellora Soret said of Lee, “Her talent, grace, and technical knowledge contribute to her being one of the most sought-after colorists in London. She has an eclectic client base and works seamlessly across both long form and short form”.
Stefan Sonnenfeld, president and CEO, Company 3/Method Studios and sr. colorist at Company 3, added that Lee reflects “everything we look for in a colorist. We are so excited to be bringing her expertise to our teams and clients.”
