Assistant Colorist

We are looking for a detail-oriented Assistant Colorist to support our Lead Colorist and post-production team. You will be responsible for the technical integrity of our workflow, from initial ingest and conform to final delivery. The ideal candidate is a DaVinci Resolve power-user who understands the science of color as much as the art of it.

Key Responsibilities

• Conform & Prep: Prep timelines for color sessions, ensuring all clips, transitions, and effects match the offline edit.
• Project Management: Manage project archiving, restoration, and media management across shared storage.
• Technical Support: Set up color suites, calibrate monitors, and troubleshoot technical issues during sessions.
• Rendering & Delivery: Execute final renders in various formats (SDR, HDR, Social, etc.) and perform rigorous Quality Control (QC) to catch artifacts or glitches.
• Color Grading: Under the guidance of the Lead Colorist, perform initial color balances, match shots, or handle "dailies" grading.
• Client Relations: Assist in client sessions, ensuring a professional environment and handling any immediate technical requests.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Software: Expert-level proficiency in DaVinci Resolve (Baselight or Lustre experience is a plus).
• Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of codecs, color spaces (ACES, Rec.709, P3), bit depth, and frame rates.
• Visual Literacy: A strong eye for color, contrast, and skin tone consistency.
• Organization: Ability to multitask and stay organized under tight deadlines.
• Communication: Strong interpersonal skills for interacting with directors, DPs, and producers.

Preferred Experience

• 2+ years of experience in a post-production house environment.
• Experience with HDR workflows and Dolby Vision.
• Knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects for round-tripping workflows.
