19th Mar 10
RodneyOn the 16th March 2010, we invited Robbie Carman as our featured speaker. Robbie is a colorist and noted author. He also is a trainer at NAB conducting 14 sessions at the 2010 National Associations of Broadcasters (NAB) in Las Vegas next month. Our members turned out in record numbers and enjoyed the detailed color grading session with Robbie.
While Richard Harrington was unable to make it, Robbie did an excellent job of teaching our members the secrets to color grading and provided a level of understanding that is much appreciated.
Here are a few photos to encourage the other DC/VA/MD interested parties to come on out and become part of a growing group of DC metro area professionals interested in networking, learning something new, and having fun winning awesome sponsor prizes via our DC Winner’s Circle raffle.
Given that I have a heavy travel schedule for April and three projects in work (Las Vegas: SUPERMEET, Digital Production Buzz production team and Dupont Registry luxury car filming event in Miami), the next meeting is scheduled for May. See our event calendar for details. Watch this website for upcoming announcements on future meetings. If you have comments on the March event, please post your feedback on this post for others to see and appreciate the value they bring to the group.

Last night was very informative. I’ve dabbled in Color before without really knowing what was really happening. I just went with it and fixed major color problems that I thought needed to be fixed beyond the 3-color correction in FCP. Then I got the heck out of dodge before I seriously disturbed the gods of Color. Robbie definitely dove into the software and shed alot of light (at least in my eyes) on the subject of Color. Now I will definitely use Color on projects that allow themselves to be color graded.
