Congratulations on being intrepid enough to track down my small corner of the web. I'll likely be rattling on about my latest writing project, color correction observations, or production that's underway (which at the moment is my web serial, Starship Detritus). Whatever the topic, you're welcome to browse through and comment—I'm glad to hear from you.

Coming this fall. I'm currently working on this platform-agnostic book covering all aspects of professional color correction, in theory and practice. This book pulls together information ranging from room setup, detailed color and contrast theory, practical correction techniques, QC adherence, scene balancing, image ideals, all the way to a wealth of creative techniques—this book has something for colorists at all levels. Available for pre-order from Amazon.com.

On behalf of Ripple Training, I've created a one-hour set of instructional videos covering every new feature in Color 1.5. If you already know Color, and just want to get up to speed with what's new, these will give you a focused tour of the new features and workflows available in this upgrade to Final Cut Studio 3. Best of all, these are available for immediate download in iTunes! New Features in Color 1.5.

I used to write an ongoing series on grading in Color in the digital newsletter Edit Well. Many of my articles from the series, and others from experts in Final Cut Studio applications, have been collected into the verbosely named book Edit Well: Final Cut Studio Techniques from the Pros.

My own book, the Encyclopedia of Color Correction, is a focused compilation of color correction methods and information I've found valuable while working with my own clients. Combining color correction techniques with technical information relevant to colorists and finishing editors alike, it's an invaluable resource to post production pros who are using Final Cut Studio. Available now from Amazon.com.

If you're a fan of video tutorials, I recorded a series of 13 video lessons that provides over four hours of training spanning every room in Color. Buy it now from Magnet Media.
