[Tig] color

[warren eagles]

I saw Color (FCP2) at NAB and liked what I saw.
It is not going to make an impact in the top
post houses for either commercials or movies.......
but there is a huge market for color correction 
a few levels below that, documentaries, lower budget drama series,
extreme sports shows, preview grades etc. 
For budget reasons this work is currently being undertaken
by editors driving Avid, Final Cut, Smoke and other online
type systems. Some Editors I know are very keen graders 
and enjoy the challenge, others don't like it at all and
feel uncomfortable in front of clients when asked to grade.
If by using Color we can get these shows back into the
hands of a colorist then this has to be a positive.
