Bicoastal postproduction studio Modern Post has added colorist Taylor Schafer to its roster of creative talent. Bringing almost a decade of experience in the post industry, Taylor has made a career journey that includes roles as an assistant editor at AMC Networks and as both an assistant editor and colorist at Uppercut. Notably, she pioneered and expanded the color department, becoming that company’s first colorist. Schafer’s portfolio includes collaborations with brands such as Volvo, Meta, Verizon, MLB, Oscar de la Renta, Dockers, and Victoria’s Secret.
Schafer noted, “Modern Post has grown their finishing department a lot over the past year and I’m thrilled to contribute to the color team. The opportunity to work alongside another colorist and bounce ideas off each other is amazing.”
“Taylor’s work fits in beautifully with the Modern Post style and aesthetic. She is able to work alongside our team of editors to elevate their creative vision with the subtle art of color,” said Modern Post managing director Charlyn Derrick. “It’s also really exciting for us to bring on a female colorist. Having visibility across all levels and types of roles is something that is extremely important to us.”
