Daphne FilmLight October 17 Share October 17 FilmLight Colour Awards reveals 2024 nominees Jury selects 25 nominees across six categories – winners to be announced at EnergaCAMERIMAGE on 17 November LONDON — 17 October 2024: FilmLight has revealed the nominees for the 2024 FilmLight Colour Awards. In their fourth year, the awards attracted over 500 entries from 46 countries across the globe and the independent jury of cinematographers, colourists and creatives have now revealed the names of the 25 colourists shortlisted across the six categories. Ahead of casting their final votes, the 2024 jury gathered to discuss the entries. During the discussion, George Miller, 2024 Jury Guest of Honour, talked to Jury President, Mandy Walker, and other jurors, about his evolving relationship with colour. “For the films I work on, we tend to get the colourist involved early,” says Miller. “The biggest problem, I think, is that visual effects can be so widespread – with people from all over the planet working on it. With this, there’s a risk of losing cohesion, and the colourist is the nexus of all these interactions. This is why I am so excited to be doing this and seeing all the wonderful work that is being completed across so many different platforms and media – it is a very significant moment and one that will develop even more.” This year’s nominees for the award for the grading of a Theatrical Feature are: Dune: Part Two – graded by David Cole at FotoKem Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga – graded by Eric Whipp at alter ego Poor Things – graded by Greg Fisher at Company 3 Saltburn – graded by Matt Wallach at Company 3 In the TV Series / Episodic category, the nominees are: Eric (season 1, episode 1) – graded by Toby Tomkins at Harbor Expats (season 1) – graded by Seth Ricart at RCO Griselda (season 1) – graded by Ian Vertovec at Light Iron The Zweiflers (season 1) – graded by freelance colourist, Manuel Portschy In the Commercial category, the judges chose: Air Canada, Ticket to Dream – graded by Wade Odlum at alter ego McDonald’s, We the (In)visible – graded by freelance colourist, Manuel Portschy Riyadh Season: Crawford Vs Madrimov, Everything Or Nothing – graded by Philip Hambi at The Mill Zara, SS24 STUDIO COLLECTION – graded by Tim Masick at Company 3 For the Music Video category, the judges selected: Brodka x Igo, Myślę sobie Ż – graded by freelance colourist, Nadia Khairat Gomez Kaismos, Sailed – graded by Sylvain Canaux at Saint Louis Nettspend, Nothing Like Uuu – graded by freelance colourist, Brian Charles Shake Stew, Lila – graded by freelance colourist, Manuel Portschy The Spotlight award aims to recognise the unsung talents in the industry.
