[Tig] compositors doing grading

[mike seymour]

I hope you don't mind me posting this but, I thought it might be of  
interest.

After discussions with people like Rob, and emails like this one  
below - from Tyler, earlier in the year,
I am involved with running on line da Vinci color grading courses, in  
sync with DOP
Hopefully it will allow a meeting of minds between compositors and  
colorists.

The course will be covering a lot, from on set to DI and it will  
start with da Vinci 2K and Resolve.
Since you could argue da Vinci is the most widely used professional  
colour correction system in global use today.
(- although Scratch, Lustre and other systems are all ones we hope to  
cover in coming months).

The training courses are not free but we aim to offer both download  
training and some 'real time' tutorials

the da Vinci training is part of www.fxphd.com,
and it is being done with the help and co-operation of the really  
helpful Singapore da Vinci team (thanks Peter!)

thanks guys


Mike
