FilmLight presents Colour On Stage at IBC2019

Free programme expanded to two days to provide greater opportunities to see industry leaders in finishing demonstrate their craft

At this year's IBC, FilmLight (stand #7.A45) is hosting the free two-day seminar series, Colour On Stage, on 14-15 September 2019. The event provides an opportunity for visitors to participate in live presentations and discussions with colourists and other creative professionals at the peak of their craft.

From shining a light on the FilmLight BLG ecosystem in VFX, to the role of the colourist today, to understanding colour management and next generation grading tools - this event helps guide attendees through the opportunities and challenges of modern colour finishing and delivery.

Colour on Stage offers a good platform to hear about real-world interaction between colourists, directors and cinematographers, said Alex Gascoigne, Colourist at Technicolor and one of this year's presenters. Particularly when it comes to large studio productions, a project can take place over several months and involve a large creative team and complex collaborative workflows - this is a chance to find out about the challenges involved with big shows and demystify some of the more mysterious areas in the post process.

Originally staged as a one-day event at both IBC2018 and NAB2019, Colour On Stage has been expanded both due to its popularity and in order to provide sessions with artists throughout the production and post colour pipeline. This year's IBC programme includes colourists from broadcast, film and commercials, as well as DITs, editors, VFX artists and post-production supervisors.

To date, programme highlights include:
