Company 3 Vancouver has added sr. colorist Anne Boyle and colorist Aurora Shannon to its talent roster. Boyle comes over from Picture Shop while Shannon served as supervising VFX colorist at DNEG.
Boyle’s career has taken her from her native Dublin to London and then to Thailand, Turkey, the Netherlands, Montreal, and Vancouver for the past four years. She joins Company 3 after a decade at Technicolor (recently rebranded as Picture Shop), where she colored shows including NBCUniversal’s The Disappearance, The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair for MGM, and The Princess Switch, Messiah, and Hypnotic for Netflix.
Shannon has served in various color-grading-related capacities on over 160 feature films and significant episodic TV shows. She first joined Company 3 London in 2008 as a trainee in the scanning and recording department, where she soon became a colorist in her own right. Shannon subsequently took a position at DNEG in Vancouver as sr. VFX colorist where her responsibility rapidly expanded to overseeing all color work for their Montreal, London, and L..A locations. She led the VFX grading on many high-profile feature films, including several Marvel and DC projects, and major award winners including Dune, First Man, and Blade Runner 2049.
