International Colorist Academy (ICA) was founded in 2009 by freelance colorists, Kevin Shaw and Warren Eagles to provide “training for colorists by colorists.”
ICA offers colorists a wide variety of technique-based courses, including basic color theory, digital intermediate and film workflows, telecine and lab grading, client interaction, and looks and styles. The classes and workshops cover a broad range of manufacturer color grading systems, and many are not system specific.
