About Our Contributing Mentors

Our Contributors are digital cinema and video professionals actively working in the trenches every day, collaborating with and perfecting the stories of their clients. From narrative & documentary feature films to commercials, music videos, corporate communication, and cutting-edge distribution formats like Dolby Vision, our Contributors maintain a vibrant client base.

We all share a passion for educating others in the craft of digital cinema workflows for production and post production. We constantly look for direct, simple solutions to complex workflows and problems – and document those solutions for others to walk in our footsteps (and then make their own discoveries).

Mixing Light originally catered exclusively to professional cinema colorists and has recently broadened our reach to include those specialties directly impacting the recording, refinement, and distribution of our client’s stories.

What Mixing Light Provides

MixingLight.com provides four core products:


The Insights Tutorial Library

Are you looking for a constant stream of new information related to digital cinema and video techniques? Welcome to the Insights Tutorial Library!  Each week we add 2-3 items - InsightsInsights can be articles, videos, or podcasts focused on technique, creative possibilities, hardware/software, or the business of being a creative digital cinema/video professional.

All Insights are focused around a single thought. Each Insight is designed to be consumed in 7-15 minutes. This format is perfect for a lunchtime knowledge break or catching up on Insights that were favorited over the past week for a solid morning of weekend learning.

The Insights Tutorial Library requires paid membership to access, although a small percentage of Insights are free, in front of the paywall, for everyone to enjoy.

DaVinci Resolve Training

Are you learning DaVinci Resolve and want an organized, designed system leading to mastery? Our stand-alone DaVinci Resolve Fundamentals training courses are designed to get you up and running with the core concepts, features, and workflows of this popular all-in-one post produciton software.

Our Resolve Fundamentals training help newbies get off to a strong start and help experienced pros learn about features they've missed - but need to know about.

Members of the Insights Tutorial Library earn credits every month toward releasing our DaVinci Resolve courses. Every new member gets instant access to one Course of their choice. Then every 3-4 months, if they maintain an active membership, they earn enough credits to release another DaVinci Resolve Fundamentals course of their choosing.

Color Grading Practice Projects

Do you want access to quality Blackmagic, RED, or Phantom (or insert your camera) clips to practice with? And do you want those quality clips organized into a coherent story that replicates an actual client job? Then Practice Projects are for you.

Get access to camera-original footage in the form of a complete short. Practice Projects are fully conformed timelines, ready for immediate color correction. They are self-directed (no training is provided). Each Project mirrors specific workflows and challenges every aspiring and working editor or colorist needs to master.

Plus, every Practice Project is licensed for you to use in your demo reel and present it to your future clients as an example of your talents.


Colorist Flight School

When each of the MixingLight.com co-founders was ‘coming up’ in the postproduction industry, mentorship was a big deal – we were all assistants learning from master colorists and editors.  Colorist Flight School is meant to replicate that experience in our ‘gig economy’.  Each Colorist Flight School is based around a Mixing Light Practice Project (but not all Projects will get the full Flight School treatment). You’ll watch and learn from a professional colorist grading footage you own.  But no mentorship relationship works unless you can get feedback – Colorist Flight School allows you to submit your grades and get high-quality comments from a senior colorist.

Our Team

Over the past decade, Mixing Light has attracted a growing team of established post-production professionals. These Contributors document their mistakes, discoveries, and workarounds so others following in their footsteps can avoid years of unnecessary frustration and bad results from inexperienced internet advice. Mixing Light’s mission is to build the confidence of our members while accelerating their careers inside a supportive community.

MixingLight.com is owned and operated by a professional colorist and finisher, Patrick Inhofer.

He worked in an office with windows only one time in his long career. Sadly, he had to hang up blackout curtains because sunlight and high end picture don’t mix.

To dismay of some of his peers, Igor misses working on reality TV. Sometimes, late at night he’ll see a familiar show on some forsaken high number channel, and tell himself: “Ah, I remember that one.”

Igor has colored theatrical trailers and campaigns for films by George Clooney, Aaron Sorkin, Oliver Stone, Joe Wright, George Miller, Spike Lee, Jim Jarmusch, Nicolas Winding Refn, Terrence Malick, James Gray, Todd Solondz, Richard Linklater, and many other directors.

Zeb Chadfield

Zeb started his career in Post Production based in a small fishing town in New Zealand. Cutting tape to tape and working to buy the tools to train on, he was drawn into the world of picture finishing after seeing the process of colour grading Lord of the Rings.

Learning about creating distinct feelings and emotion through the use of colour made him decide that is what he needed to do for a career. After being brought on to train the stunt coordinator for a feature film in editing at age 18, Zeb gained the confidence to move to Australia and look for more opportunities in the television industry there. He predominantly worked across comedy sketch series and reality TV while he honed his craft and decided to move to the UK where he would have more access to work on documentary series and features.

After a few years as head of picture at a London facility, Zeb suffered a major mental breakdown and rather than moving away from an industry he loved – he decided to set up a company to try and do things differently and become a home to like minded finishing artists. The Finish Line is now a team of over 25 artists doing their best to show the post production world that you can do great work and have a great quality of life in the process.

COVID-19 brought him back home to New Zealand, where he is currently freelancing as a colourist and working full-time as a Content Producer. He could be tempted to return full-time to Baselight as a Colourist Assistant or Colourist in the near future.

For many years, besides his portrait work, he ran a color lab printing portraits (especially competition prints) for other noted portraitists. He and his wife won many awards in professional image competitions along with serving in professional trade group leadership positions.

Neil became enamored of Adobe SpeedGrade when he transitioned into working with video media. His passion for the color, tonality, and the "feel" of images made him far more suited to spending time learning to make things pretty than editing a tight program. Neil got thoroughly, passionately hooked into studying and practicing the colorist toolset.

Since then, his continual efforts to learn and passions to help others resulted in being asked to join the Adobe Community Professional program helping with the video apps, specializing in color and image quality along with motion graphics. He has given online presentations on the creation and use of "Mogrts" (Motion Graphics Templates) in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, and was a proofreader for Jarle Leirpoll's ebook "Making MOGRTS: Creating Motion Graphics in Adobe After Effects".

Rich Roddman C.S.I.

With almost 30 years in the TV production industry, Rich likes to tell people he fought in the trenches of the digital revolution. This gives him a unique perspective for what worked (and did not work) as we moved from the old analog world towards today’s fully digital workflow. But technology continues it’s ever-changing pace, widening the gaps between production and post-production abilities and expectations; Rich continues working at the front lines, updating and refining his workflows and skills.

Rich's career as a DIT began in 2005 when the production company he worked for acquired one of the first Red One Digital Media cameras in the Tampa Bay marketplace. This revolutionary camera taught Rich the need to educate local DoPs and operators; helping them get the most from their images and developing successful digital workflows. From On-Set through Post Production, Rich emphasizes smart, fast, and redundant data transfer while maintaining the highest color fidelity through color grading and final delivery.

DELAUNAY Christophe

Christophe Delaunay is a hobbyist colorist based in France. Like many, in 2009 he embraced the DSLR revolution where all seemed possible with affordable gear. But he wasn’t happy with the final images from his footage: something was ‘missing’. Until he found a tutorial from Stu Maschwitz on how to create a Summer Blockbuster Film Look with Colorista II. It became clear that polished videos were as much a matter of color correction as camera gear.

Christophe then searched the Web for color grading tutorials. Back in 2010 there was very little training and even fewer were teaching the philosophy of color grading, beyond the software interface.

Fortunately, Tao Of Color (created by Mixing Light co-founder Patrick Inhofer) released the ‘In Tents’ Masterclass. Patrick provided students the required knowledge to try to grade a real short film, including all the footage. That was the beginning of the relationship with the Tao which then parlayed to MixingLight.com.

Josh Petok C.S.I.

Josh Petok is a Colorist who helps reality shows look their absolute best. From his beginnings on “The Surreal Life,” he strives to intensify drama or comedy while still keeping the presence and authenticity of reality TV.
