[Tig] Fwd: suggestions for becoming a colorist

[Matt Jackson]

Hi David,

Before you move to Sweden you might like to try and get some work
experience at a post facility. There is a brand new facility in
Achrafieh, Beirut. They have a Spirit 2K Datacine with a Pandora Pogel
color grading system.

Speak with the facility manager. Contact details on the web site. They
might have a position for a runner. It's a good starting point to see
the inside workings of the industry.

Good Luck

Matt Jackson

Thanks you guys for putting so much effort into answering me... i
really appreciate it.I currently live in Lebanon and study in the
capital (Beirut) at a school called International College. I'm an only
child. My other is Lebanese and my father is Swedish. All my life i
have lived in Lebanon but when I'm done with this year (school year)
I'm going to move to Sweden for a few years.
Over there school and university is free so that opens up lots of
doors for me. Actually I am sure that i will study at a university
there but the question is:
What should i study?
Iv got loads of people telling me I should go audio visual, graphic
design, and animation.
I have done a fair share of experimenting on a hm... not sure what you
call it :P
well the telecine is an Ursa and the panel is a Pogle. (not sure where
the words pixi and Pandora come in here but I'm sure you know what I
mean)
But most of the time its busy with all the projects going on so I
rarely get the chance to sit and work with it. So I, at times, sit at
home and make mixes of video clips iv downloaded from the net with the
help of Windows Movie Maker. Now that my parents are sick and tiered
of hearing: "OMG! this thing cant even play a clip backwards!" they
are getting me the Macbook for my birthday.
I will install Final Cut Pro but I'm not sure if I can get hold of final
touch.

Thanks again Rob and Steve! You really are great to put so much time
into answering me :D
