The My.Blue Edition – Sunday Color Grading Newsletter

This annual salary survey is open through the end of October. I urge all readers to add their details (anonymously), whether you’re a student, freelancer, staff, A-lister, or facility owner. This helps us all understand trends and rates in our industry, because these details are otherwise almost impossible to find. Results are publicly available and broken down by city, so you can understand your local market.

“Surveys are administered annually, allowing the industry to anonymously share a snapshot of who we are, how we work and what we are paid.

If you’re wondering how much to get paid for a job, what post production pay rates are in your town, or how much to pay someone to work on your production, the information can be found here.”

“Colors are not a static entity, but are subjective both in personal and in cultural terms. So it is no surprise to see a little online test go viral based on the very arbitrary demarcation between blue and green. Sure, navy and forest are very different shades. So are emerald and sapphire. But where do you place turquoise? Is it green or is it blue?

The test can be found at the ismy.blue and it simply asks you to decide between shades of green and blue. Click on a button and place the color in one of the two camps. After a few selections, you are given a boundary hue.”
