"How to" books are a dime a dozen. What makes this book special is
that it is also a "Why" book. Hullfish sits down with world-class
colorists and records not only what they do but why they do it.
That's where the magic lies."How" is the question to ask if you
want to become a craftsman. "Why" is the question that creates
artists. I bought the first edition for "How" and came away with a
lot of "Why." This edition has lots more of both, with material
from several additional world class colorists.If you want an inside
look into the art and craft of the professional colorist there's no
better way to do it in book form. Whether you're learning to be a
colorist or just want to understand what really happens when you
decide something can be "fixed in post," you need to read this
book.
-Art Adams, cinematographer/educator, ProVideoCoalition.com.This
book just keeps getting better with each new edition. Steve
Hullfish's approach is designed to teach techniques that transfer
to a wide range of popular and accessible color correction tools.
The intent is to demystify the process, so readers can learn the
concepts and apply them, regardless of whether the software has
sliders, wheels or curves. Best of all, Hullfish features extensive
tips and tricks from some of the premier colorists in the country,
so you can learn from the masters. If you only purchase one book on
color correction, this is the essential guide to include in your
library. - Oliver Peters, Oliver Peters Peters Post Production
