    LONDON --

    Colorist Luke Morrison has joined Electric Theatre Collective’s London office as head of color. He becomes part of an ensemble of color talent that includes Jason Wallis, Lewis Crossfield, Kaitlyn Battistelli, Ruth Wardell, Mathieu Caplanne and Tim Smith.

    Morrison has established himself as an impressive creative mind in the world of color over his already decade plus-long career, earning multiple AICE Awards, including a win in the Color Grading: Over 90 Seconds category for his 2018 Canadian Olympic Committee “Be Olympic” spot directed by Ian Pons Jewell.

    Morrison comes over from The Mill after spending the past few years setting up the color department at its Chicago office.

    Morrison said, “Working with and nurturing talent is something that I’m really passionate about, so seeing how Electric holds this as one of their core values is incredibly exciting. The opportunity to add my experience and help shape the company whilst building upon their impressive work is inspiring. Having known and worked with many Electric members in the past, I’m truly looking forward to working alongside them again.”

    To date Morrison has worked with brands the likes of JEEP, Mercedes-Benz, Beats, and most recently Dollar Shave Club, and has graded for noted directors such as Wally Pfister, Pete Riski and Mark Romanek.

    Harris Dickinson Toys With Ambiguity In “Babygirl” While Keeping a Secret From Nicole Kidman

    Tuesday, December 24, 2024

    Harris Dickinson was nervous to approach Nicole Kidman.

    This would not necessarily be notable under normal circumstances, but the English actor had already been cast to star opposite her in the erotic drama "Babygirl," as the intern who initiates an affair with Kidman's buttoned-up CEO.

    Dickinson, 28, grew up in Leytonstone, in East London — the same neck of the woods as... Read More
