Portrait Displays and Colorist Society Continue to Foster Opportunity for Colorist Community
The last year has presented many obstacles for nearly every industry and required Portrait Displays and Colorist Society to become adaptable in a dynamic landscape by pivoting to remote learning engagements and virtual events like the upcoming Colorist Mixer in December 2021. This, however, in no way hindered the efforts of the two organizations to foster opportunities and increase the education and awareness of the colorist community.
As the scope of colorists continue to expand beyond film and video, so has Colorist Society. The association has begun to pave the way for Chapters to form on a global level, with contributions and backing from Portraits Displays by way of innovative technologies and products, technical support, and panel appearances.
“Colorist Society is pleased to promote the need for better calibration and display matching, and to spread those needs beyond reference displays. We see a future of joint activities with Portrait Displays as our overall goals align,” said Kevin Shaw, President, Colorist Society. “We also look forward to implementing more Colorist Society Chapters around the world, including our most recent Colorist Society Hollywood Chapter. This is an A-list, invitation only group made up of exemplarily colorists and thought leaders in the industry that will serve as role models and mentors to our members.”
Exciting times are approaching the colorist community, with eyes on AI and machine-learning applications, new virtual set technologies, cloud-based workflows, and evolving display technologies. Portrait Displays and Colorist Society are on the frontline of emerging tech with plans to ensure that members will be kept up to date on the latest in color technology and production tools.
“Since its release earlier this year, Calman’s brand new Aurora Color Engine has received immense praise from the most color critical users in the post-production and color grading communities,” commented Tyler Pruitt, Technical Evangelist, Portrait Displays. “We’re excited to be on the forefront of developing technology and look forward to bringing even more enhancements to the industry in the near future with the support of Colorist Society.”
Portrait Displays looks forward to ushering in another exciting year in collaboration with Colorist Society. To learn more about the Colorist Society, please visit https://coloristsociety.com/.
