Behind the Color Science

We started as color graders who couldn't find the training we needed. So we built it ourselves, and now we share what actually works in professional environments.

How We Really Got Started

Back in 2021, three of us were working on different film projects around Taiwan. Each time we needed to match colors between scenes or create specific moods, we'd spend hours searching online tutorials that barely scratched the surface.

The gap was obvious. Professional color grading requires understanding both the technical tools and the artistic vision. Most training focused on button-pushing, not the decision-making process that separates amateur work from professional results.

We started meeting weekly to share techniques we'd discovered through trial and error. Those informal sessions grew into structured workshops, then into the comprehensive training program we offer today.

Technical Mastery

We teach the tools that working colorists actually use daily. DaVinci Resolve, Baselight, and Avid Symphony - with hands-on projects that mirror real client work.

Color Science

Understanding why certain combinations work involves both physics and psychology. We cover color spaces, gamma curves, and the emotional impact of different grading choices.

Industry Standards

Real projects have deadlines, client revisions, and technical constraints. Our training includes workflow management and client communication - skills you can't learn from YouTube.

Henrik Valtonen

Senior Color Grading Instructor

Experience That Translates

Henrik spent eight years grading commercials and documentaries across Southeast Asia before joining our education team. His background includes work with major Taiwanese production houses and international streaming content.

What makes Henrik's teaching approach different is his focus on problem-solving under pressure. He's been in the suite at 2 AM trying to salvage footage shot in challenging conditions, and he brings those real-world scenarios into our curriculum.

Students appreciate his direct feedback style and ability to explain complex technical concepts through practical examples. He's also fluent in Mandarin and English, making our programs accessible to Taiwan's diverse creative community.

Our Teaching Philosophy

Project-Based Learning

Every lesson centers around actual footage that presents real challenges. We don't use perfect test clips - we use the kind of problematic material you'll encounter in professional work.

Interactive Feedback

Small Group Format

Maximum twelve students per cohort ensures everyone gets individual attention. We review each person's work during sessions and provide specific feedback on their grading decisions.
