Colorist Society Hollywood: Mark Todd Osborne
The Colorist Society Podcast
In this episode, I talk with Senior Colorist, Mark Todd Osborne. Mark is known for coloring feature films like Need for Speed, Silk Road, and It Follows. But, in addition to those movies, Mark has graded a wide range of documentary subjects from Phil Spector to Sesame Street. Documentaries can have specific challenges for a colorist.
