News, reviews, thoughts, career advice, and
humor for professional Video / Film
Colorists & Finishers. Delivered Sundays.
Curated by a professional color grader and
the CEO of MixingLight.com.
It’s a short newsletter today. But that makes sense
since here in the US we’ve jumped our clocks forward one
hour – shortening the day. So I’m helping us make up for
lost time.
I’ll see you next Sunday!
Happy Grading!
Sincerely,
Pat
Inhofer Chief Photon Wrangler,
Publisher MixingLight.com

from existing (and emerging) leaders and teachers in
our industry.
“As of March 8, 2025, [Technicolor’s]
shutdown is ongoing, with operations
ceasing in early March across various
regions. The color grading industry is
at a crossroads, with professionals
advised to stay informed and adaptable.
The long-term impact may include a more
fragmented market, with smaller entities
filling the gap left by
Technicolor.”
There are many angles to this story,
including the human aspect. I’ve linked
to a Grok summary from 44 web sources
that it found. At the bottom is a list
of key citations with links to articles
and discussions. Feel free to discuss in
the comments for this Edition on the
website.
“Below is a (non-exhaustive) list of
some current training courses and those
who provide them. There is a slight,
unintentional bias towards training for
the technical aspects of the cinema
industry. If there are any missing
opportunities or that cover a different
area within the exhibition industry,
please email
tips@celluloidjunkie.com.
Most manufacturers and suppliers offer
training to their partners and customers
on an individual basis. However, if you
are looking to undertake any training in
professional or personal development
independently, these are some of the
organisations that openly offer
training.
Note: Please note, this list is
specifically for cinema exhibition.”
