The Dark Art of Color Grading Animation vs Live-Action
Seasoned lead digital intermediate colorist John Daro joins me for this episode of The Color Timer Podcast. Our deep-dive conversation gets into the nitty-gritty of the art and craft of color grading animation, and John shares a ton of practical details for polishing animated projects.
“My father was in animation. So growing up, the very first thing I did in this business was he brought home a cell, and we painted it together.
John Daro, Senior Digital Colorist
And I remember him taking me to a telecine session, where they would get the film back to tweak the color because you have a bunch of animators, and nothing exactly matches.
Walking in to the telecine bay, looking at that. It looks like the Starship Enterprise and thinking: That’s what I want to do.“
