HD Expo's Color Camp 101

This past weekend I attended HD Expo's workshop, Color Camp 101 at LA Center Studios in Downtown LA. Instruction is provided to give a better understanding of color theory in the motion picture and television industry. So much information, my brain still hurts.

Special Thanks to: HD Expo, Andrew Balis, Nick Theodorakis,
Light Iron Digital, David Hollingsworth, Michael Cioni

Digital Imaging Engineer, Nick Theodorakis talks in-camera color correction on the Pansasonic P2 Camera shooting a DSC Labs Chroma DuMonde color chip chart

Desert Rose

I shot stills last weekend for the Desert Rose restaurant here in Los Feliz. The pictures were ultimately used for their new website created by my friend Jaimie, a talented artist and web builder. I wanted to create images that had a flow and motion to them. It wasn't all work, Donna and I got a chance to enjoy dinner. We highly recommend it. Great food, relaxing outdoor courtyard, full bar. What's not to like? Below are a few of my favorite images from the evening. Check out the completed site HERE.
