To be effective and successful working in a modern production or post production environment requires knowledge about the issues and challenges related to color science. Regardless of position in the production chain, color plays a major role in telling a powerful story. DoPs and colorists are very sensitive to these issues, but post supervisors, engineers and VFX and animation artists must also have a firm grasp on color for a seamless workflow. In order to use color correctly, it is critical to understand what is seen at every stage in the production process, regardless of the nature of the display and viewing environment.

This webinar includes a brief talk from THX Senior Vice President Rick Dean; he discusses THX’s strategy for supporting improved color management in professional facilities through our product development efforts and our education program.

As Senior Color Scientist at THX, Michael Chenery has been teaching his popular color science classes worldwide for the past five years. In this session, Michael reviews the basics of color science presented in the Color Management 101 webinar and will then instruct how to create and use display profiles in professional facilities. These concepts are valuable for anyone working in color correction, VFX and animation environments.

In this webinar, attendees will learn:

• What it means to “profile” a display
• Best practices for creating and using color profiles
• Differences between different classes of calibration probes, including colorimeters and spectroradiometers
• What “decoupling” is
• Which colors are most important to measure
