Podcast S3 EP08: Bobola Oniwura, Lagos, Nigeria

Season 3 of the Color Tour Podcast has been renamed ‘Not on Tour.’ I cannot travel so the CT Podcast is being conducted on ZOOM. I recently chatted to one of Africa’s leading Color Graders Bobola Oniwura

He studied Architecture so calls himself the ‘Accidental Colorist’ Having moved away from designing houses he co founded a Creative Agency with friends and worked as the Creative Director. Their attempts to find a suitable colorist were not very successful so Bobola decided to jump in the hot seat and so started his color journey using FXPHD videos.
