A few months ago Jard design got in touch to ask me to help with some colour grading of a piece of video they had edited. Have I mentioned before that I bloody love colour grading! Years ago it was a part of the post production process that scared me a bit. The last time I had a real life job (with a salary, office and a boss) colour grading was something I hired very expensive freelancers for. They were like mystical wizards with these magic balls they called "control surfaces". A lot of videographers dislike it, but ever since I've been using #blackmagic Pocket Cinema cameras, shooting RAW video and almost 100% using #davinciresolve (Adobe you still have your meaty claws in me) the colour grading process has been my favourite part of the end to end process of making video. So to get asked to do only colour on a job was an absolute pleasure. It's a really different way of working mainly because I'm given a direction only about how they want the colour to look everything else is decided. Video people! If you have any colour work that needs doing or want to talk colour I'd love to have a chat. Did I mention I love colour grading? #videography #colourgrading #colourist #formula1

Have you noticed the growing trend in job postings for Senior Graphic Designers that require not just design expertise, but also mastery of animation, video editing, 3D modeling, sound design, and more? It’s as though employers are looking for an entire creative department wrapped up in a single role. While staying versatile and continually evolving our skill sets is important, the demand for expertise in such a wide range of tools and fields—Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, 3D software, and beyond—is simply unrealistic. Each of these disciplines takes years of specialized practice to master. It's even more disheartening when these hybrid roles come with compensation that doesn’t reflect the breadth of expertise being demanded, ultimately devaluing the creative industry. We should be encouraging specialization, recognizing the value that each creative discipline brings to the table, and ensuring roles are fairly compensated for the skills required. Let’s work towards an industry that respects the craft and the professionals who fuel it. #CreativeIndustry #GraphicDesign #Designers #FairCompensation #RespectCreatives
