How to Handle Animation and VFX as a Colorist
Colorist Keiran Lee shares insights from his career journey working on major animated feature films such as Lego Batman and the extremely collaborative nature of animation color grading.
He also reflects on the role of mentorship, having worked alongside respected colorists, including Eric Whipp and Olivier Fontenay. He also discusses his leap into freelancing after his decade-long tenure at Animalogic.
“We had time to play. We would have sessions with the production designer or directors where they would come down and just play with a scene. That ability to play is where you find those happy accidents.”
– Keiran Lee
