On this installment of Making Media Now, host Michael Azevedo chats with colorist Rob Bessette. Any of you who are familiar with the post-production process are likely familiar with what a colorist does. But for those aren't…take a listen and discover.   As a Colorist Rob alters the color of images that you see on screen in order to better tell a story.  It's his job to manipulate and enhance color to evoke emotions or create feelings that stem from the subconscious, and occasionally fix mistakes (yes, they do happen from time to time).    Rob's home base is in Boston but he works with people from all over the world.  He's been working as a Colorist at Finish Post (www.finishboston.com) for the past fifteen years.   Making Media Now is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum.

Rob Bessette joins me on this episode of the Colorist Podcast. Rob is a senior colorist at Finish Boston and specializes in coloring commercials. With over 11 years of experience, Rob has had the opportunity to color spots for Toyota, Coca Cola, Sam Adams, Subway, Chili’s, Dunkin’ Doughnuts, and many others.    Rob became a colorist though a more traditional path. He worked his way up from the ground level while working at night, and then mentored with a seasoned colorist. For several years, he had the opportunity to learn telecine and graded a lot of film.   I first met Rob while he was working the Blackmagic Design booth at NAB. He had the experience of hearing people’s opinions from all over the world while demoing the latest software that he had to learn at a breakneck pace. We talk about: What drew him to working in commercials  How working with great directors and directors of photography shapes the way he grades Strategies for working with food that will make you hungry Opinions on working with the full panels and what he would change about them Strategies for creating a great demo reel How he uses social media for marketing and networking Working the Blackmagic booth at NAB and learning the software in one day Why the inexpensive price of entry for color grading is good for the industry Colorist’s work that he admires Software other than Resolve he would use to color commercials   Rob Bessette - Colorist Website http://robbessette.com Finish Boston http://www.finishboston.com Twitter http://www.twitter.com/robsbessette Instagram http://www.instagram.com/robsbessette   This episode is sponsored by mixinglight.com.

While I was attending NAB 2013 I meet Rob Bessette a colorist from Boston demonstrating the new features for Resolve 10. Like most other Resolve users I was excited to hear about all the new goodies coming but I was very curious what Rob would have to say after returning home to Resolve 9. What was that like after a week of using Resolve 10? Background on Rob Bessette: Rob is lead colorist at www.Finishboston.com for the last three years and began as a colorist 8 years ago. He worked with a senior colorist for 5 years learning the tools of the trade. Rob mainly works on commercials but does indie features also and is starting to do some dailies work as well with all the footage being shot in Boston. Rob says he really enjoys the mix of creative work as well as the technical aspects - a 'real interesting blend'. I can relate to that. During this interview I'm mostly interested in Rob's experience in using Resolve 10 and the reactions he received during the week from the NAB crowd. For those of you wanting all the nitty gritty details you can see this feature list and there is an excellent 20 minute video of Rob demoing Resolve 10 also available.
