[Tig] courses offered in learning colour correction

[Peter Hartel]

There is a Telecine course offered here at Columbia College Chicago, in the Film & Video 
Department.  It is a course for advanced Cinematography and Editing students, taught by working 
professional Colorists.  There are prerequisites required, as this class is part of a curriculum, and not 
intended as just a training course for Colorists, more as a hands-on course to help Cinematography 
and Editing students understand the processes, workflow, and potential in film to tape transfer work.
We have a Bosch FDL-60 and a DaVinci 8:8:8 color corrector.  See www.filmatcolumbia.com for more 
information about our programs.  Sincerely, Peter Hartel, Faculty, Film&Video Department, Columbia 
College Chicago
