Immersive experiences, cultural interpretations, and metameric failure, and more!
Peter Doyle is a colorist like no other. To write an introduction for a man who really doesn’t need an introduction is challenging. I’ve followed Peter Doyle’s career for the past two decades, ever since the release of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
During our conversation, Peter discusses the role of a colorist within the creative team, how to use language to put (new) filmmakers at ease, appreciating the cultural context of color, and a colorist’s explanation of metameric failure within the rise of laser projectors.
For the uninitiated, Peter Doyle is a supervising colorist at PostWorks NY, whose 70+ credits include The Tragedy of Macbeth, Paddington 2, The Edge of Tomorrow, Inside Llewyn Davis, and many more!
Craft is really the what and how, creativity is the why.
Peter Doyle, Colorist
Peter’s career has spanned both chemical film timing and the advent and evolution of digital color grading, and so his insights into the craft and artistry of color are fathomless.
It’s quite a heady mix, so strap in.
