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.

“As someone who is an amateur in the field, I find the class simple to follow. The lessons presented were more than sufficient
to grasp the complexity of color grading. I was impressed that despite the online setup, Sir Warren Eagles did not let it be a hindrance
for us to have an engaging and fun experience. Thus, proving that his teaching method is effective and efficient.”

“I want to thank you again personally for your Colorist Strategies course that I took back in February. It really made the difference in my last big grading project, both in commanding the room with some strong personalities as well as what kinds of tools I went for first. It wouldn’t have gone as smoothly or quickly had I not taken the ICA course when I did. Thank you again.”

“Kevin is definitely a great professional. A great technician, teacher and artist with unending patience for the huge number of questions from the class.”

“The Colorist Strategies course gave me insights into the quickest, most widely applicable and precise approaches to using toolsets that are prevalent in pretty much every color grading system. Approaches, looks and techniques that are often essential to any colorist working to a demanding schedule where an efficient high quality workflow is paramount. In addition to introducing a huge scope of technical information that has both increased my knowledge of the demands of various formats, LUT’s, different colour spaces and understanding some of the science behind light and color, the course has also shown me much faster ways of achieving in seconds what would have previously taken me hours. Thanks for saving me time and increasing my creativity!”

“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.”

“I want to congratulate Kevin on his teaching skills, and easy way to impart knowledge to his students. Coming to this course was a great learning experience, not only in understanding the psychology of color but also tips to apply in our daily workflows, that allow us to speed up our work and deliver even better results.”
Duarte Silva
“I can’t recommend Colorist Strategies enough if you’re starting out as a colorist. If you feel you’ve hit a brick wall with your workflow as I had, you’ll leave with fresh ideas and methodologies to approach any footage that comes through your suite.”

“Kevin’s class really gets “under the hood” of how color grading systems work. ACES, LUTs, and LOG grading are deconstructed so you can use them to their full potential. It gave me a new way to approach my grades that is cleaner and more efficient. Thanks Kevin!”

“I found the iColorist class to be exceptionally informative. Warren was not only very knowledgeable in the art of color grading but was also very generous in sharing his knowledge and experience.”
