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.

“An excellent course that I thoroughly enjoyed. Something for both the novice and the pro.”

“I wanted to write you and thank you again for the course. It has been a great experience. The course has been a booster of knowledge and experience for me. In three intense days I have learned so much about coloring and being a colorist: coloring techniques and theories, but also general advices about workflows, for example, or how to best work with clients, and much more. It has been exactly the experience I was hoping for!”

“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.”

I have been based in Los Angeles for the past 29 years and would like to say that taking Warren’s class taught me so much! It was brilliant!.. Could not recommend it enough to all colorists!”
