DI Colour Grading

One of the main roles performed by Steve Shaw (who, let's face it, is Light Illusion!) is that of DI colourist - both as hands-on operator, and as DI supervisor. You can checkout his film history at the IMDB. Although not a complete list, it does give a flavour of the work Steve has been involved in.

What it obviously doesn't list is work performed in a technical support role, but that information can be found elsewhere within this website.

But here we are more interested in the role of DI, and of colour correction in particular.

However, it is worth reiterating here that DI is NOT just about colour correction - something that this website aims to help explain in some depth.

The following pages show some examples of before and after images graded by Steve for a selection of feature films, and helps show why DI is more than just colour correction...
