I recently chatted to one of Europe’s leading Color Graders Dave Hughes
Originally from Ireland, Dave has gone full circle following stints in London and Brussels he returned to Dublin in 2005 to set up a Baselight room. He has an extensive 25 year career grading many different genres. Dave talks about grading a 20 year old Guinness TVC and his workflow for the new Netflix animated ‘My Little Pony’ feature film. It was great to talk to somebody who just ‘loves’ grading.
Topics discussed
- Working on TVCs in Europe’s big cities.
- What looks do the German’s, Dutch and Belgium’s like?
- Why they use Baselight at Windmill Lane.
- Grading the animated My Little Pony movie, what was it like?
- You are not a true colorist until you have graded a Guinness TVC!
- How he got a start in London.
