Brian Woos \u201916 perfects hues before movies screen or stream<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/iframe>\n \n<\/p>\nA moment of serendipity led Brian Woos ’16 to his career. During a student internship at a film company in New York, Woos walked into a room and saw a panel replete with buttons and wheels. Sitting at the panel was a colorist, finessing with shadows, highlights, and luminosity to ensure everything looked seamless on the big screen.<\/p>\nAt the time, Woos didn’t know the colorist role existed. Now, he’s the one sitting at the panel, carefully tweaking elements like brightness and texture.<\/p>\n“One of the most underrated parts of the job is seeing the creative changes,” says Woos, who works as a colorist for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.postworks.com\/brian-woos-colorist\">PostWorks New York<\/a>. “When you work on a movie or TV show, you see like 30 different versions of it before it comes out — alternate endings, beginnings, and middles.<\/p>\n“The colorist is at the delivery stage for the final visual effects,” he continues. “You color-grade in real-time, watching through a projector the way people are going to be seeing it in the theater.”<\/p>\nChallenge.
