Fernando Matallo October 21, 2016 Share October 21, 2016 Hello guys, I'm colorist from Brazil and i hold european passport. I'd like to go to europe to do a filmmaker course or post production (that gives me more skills as a colorist).I googled and i found some options but does anyone have any suggestion? Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites
Nicolas Hanson October 21, 2016 Share October 21, 2016 (edited) Hi Fernando, I guess you have checked http://icolorist.com/courses/? How experienced are you? You could sign up on some of the online courses to get some basic insight, but I would recommend that you hunt a junior position in one of the studios it you are passed that part.

Bruno Mansi October 22, 2016 Share October 22, 2016 If you're considering online courses, I'd recommend FXPHD. For $79 a month, you can access all their courses and get access to VPN versions of some of the best software out there. They are fairly VFX biased, but they do have production courses that deal with things like lighting and camera techniques, as well as their 'background fundamentals' series. They also have a couple of courses specifically on colour grading. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites
Tom Evans October 22, 2016 Share October 22, 2016 A bird whispered in my ear that Lowepost is searching the market for instructors that can host a fundamental online class. It will probably take a while before it's up an running, but no doubt these guys deliver. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites

Nicolas Hello Tom Evans, thank you for your feedback. I'm going to check this course. Actually, i don't have a lot of experience i've made some jobs but i'm new on this field and i emailed my showreel around 500 post production companies in europe and north american looking for a internship opportunity but i did't get it. I make sure that if i do a course i ll enhance my skills and maybe get a chance to work in a post production company. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites

Nicolas Hanson October 25, 2016 Share October 25, 2016 You could enter the color industry a lot of different ways. I think you could manage to learn the basics by working yourself through all the theory online, practice the fundamentals and put everything color related high on your priority list. I started working as an editor, moving on to online and color work on documentaries and TV shows. That was actually great because it was no look development involved, simply balancing and matching thousands of shots and setting the levels where they should be. Link to comment Share on other sites

Hi Nicolas, thank you for your answer. I'm looking for a filmmaker course as well in Europe and i found 1 course in Malta call handsonmalta but i did not find any review about it. I'm considering this idea but i'm trying to find a school and place that provides me more skills and opportunity for a internship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites

I tried to find any review about this school but i did not find any information. Thank you -) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites
Abby Bader October 28, 2016 Share October 28, 2016 There are a lot of courses like that out there, but I would be a bit careful. If you can get the tutors names I will look into it for you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites

Abby Bader November 2, 2016 Share November 2, 2016 I couldn't find any official tracks or IMDB credits so I would definitely go for ICA or online training. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites
