We were the first colorist academy, formed in 2009 to help colorists across the world advance the craft – building on the pioneering work that’s already been done, instead of starting from scratch.

All instructors continue to work as well as teach, so training draws on current information and working experience.

Our classes accelerate learning, helping you improve exponentially, because researching alone can take you only so far.
As someone new to colour correction, it was a terrific introduction, hands on and realistic. I feel I now have the skills to start grading with some creative targets and directions in mind.
The course was really a turning point on my career. Having the chance to review all the theory involved in color grading was amazing, all the people at the class were so motivated and focused on learning. If you want to became a world-class colorist, you must do these courses.
Helpful and very welcoming. Very experienced teacher with real problem solving skills. This course is a turning point in my career!
One of the best courses I’ve attended. Warren’s 25 years of experience lead to new ways of looking at problems creatively and provide practical guides to respond to different problems with enthusiasm and eagerness… you’ll be amazed by the results.
The ICA courses are the only colorist courses worth considering. I’ve become a better colorist after the course, whatever software I choose to use in the future.

I first saw a demo of daVinci Resolve in 2005. It was a $400,000 system, the hardware rack was the size of a doorway and it took a Resolve engineer two days to install
