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.
A colorist is more than software. Grading is an art, science, and business. We cover all three.
All instructors continue to work as well as teach, so training draws on current information and working experience.
We host collaboration & networking – virtually & through the world’s only global colorist mixers & summit. Alumni contact us for support and advice – for life.
We mentor you, and help you excel – through industry and class discounts; crucial updates; and adding you to a searchable database of certified colorists.
We keep classes small and guarantee one-on-one time. We offer individualized, interactive, collaborative learning that can be customized for projects or organizations.
We partner with the best and biggest manufacturers to bring you tech advancements first. Each instructor has a close partnership with a major supplier to keep you at the cutting-edge.
We’ve helped over 10,000 people advance their skills. We teach students, universities, film schools, post-production houses, broadcasters, studios, and national archives.
We’ve trained people to start out, to change career, to refresh advanced skills, to grasp new technology, to reach a new understanding of color theory, to unlock new wells of creativity.
Our classes accelerate learning, helping you improve exponentially, because researching alone can take you only so far.

“The colorist strategies class is something every (relatively) new colorist has to take. The class lets you think about how to build up the grading of a shot and how to apply it within the whole grading of a project. Thanks for giving me different insights in color grading!”

“Our training with Warren Eagles was a really great experience. The two days were worth it, as he carefully monitored our steps
to make sure we’re all on the same page. All the explanations were clear, and all our questions were answered in a detailed manner.
This kind of training experience was epic.”
