“Kevin’s colourist classes were very insightful. I learnt so many things about colour harmonies, designing grades and working with clients that other software specific courses won’t cover. I also loved all the international contacts I made with colourists from all over the world.”
Guido Schneider
“After 20 years of commercial grading on a wide variety of platforms, I recently found myself in a position where I needed to be able to get up to speed on Resolve very quickly and I did not have the time or the luxury to be able to learn it ‘on the job’. Without hesitation I contacted Warren and explained my requirements and he tailored a two day Resolve course, specific to my needs that was focused on advanced colour correction techniques. I can’t recommend it highly enough, it was an investment in my future career, that ensured that I learnt the system correctly from the beginning and enabled me to compete at the top of my game and not worry about my lack of in-depth understanding of the Resolve from holding me back.”

“Getting access to someone with Kevin’s experience and knowledge is a very rare thing. You’ll gain insights to knowledge – theoretically as well as practically – only veteran colourists have. A wonderful experience that will change the way you work and influence your perception of colour permanently.”
Yves Roy Vallaster
“Thank you very much for everything, was a great class and I’m very happy with the knowledge. I hope you come to Colombia very soon.”
