An early user of the Spirit Data Cine, Starnes was invited, along with five other American colorists, to visit the factory in Germany, where he was asked to provide feedback on a new film-to-data system.

Starnes returned to California in 2000 as Vice President/Director of Telecine at Westwind Media. That year, NYPD Blue became ABC's first high-definition primetime series - it was followed the next season by another ABC HD series, The Practice. In 2003, Starnes formed a business servicing clients with a DaVinci 2k color corrector placed inside West Post Digital, a boutique post facility. There, Starnes offered services to the rapidly growing reality programming industry, with clients including MTV, and such TV shows as Making the Video, Punk'd, Laguna Beach, The Real O.C., and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, among them.
In 2005, Starnes was hired back at Westwind Media as General Manager and Supervising Colorist.
