Colorist Society International (CSI) will host an interactive panel discussion on managing color for multiple deliverables, VFX and HDR at NAB 2019 in Las Vegas. CSI president Kevin Shaw and board member Hugh Heinsohn will moderate the event, part of NAB’s new Birds of a Feather program. It’s slated for Monday, April 8th at 3:30 pm in room N243 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The advent of HDR offers exciting possibilities for more dynamic imagery, but also poses challenges for managing color. “The proper color workflow is essential to ensure that creative intent is maintained as projects proceed through production, post and, ultimately, delivery to consumers across diverse media,” says Shaw. “We will describe best practices for color management and workflows on the set, during visual effects and animation, and in the color grading suite.”
The session is aimed at colorists, finishing editors and others involved in post-production, as well as cinematographers, directors and producers seeking insight into a medium likely to dominate the industry for years to come.
