It is full of excellent advice for embarking on a career as a colorist and I recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about the responsibilities and craft of our profession."—Kevin Shaw, President of Colorist Society International"Color correction is often the most misunderstood stage of the filmmaking process. It can be daunting, confusing, and even in some cases, completely forgotten. This reputation often derives from its traditionally over-complicated explanation and arduous approach by its masters. In Color Grading 101, author Charles Haine walks readers through this crucial post production process in a way that is grounded, universal, and personable. Whereas most books on the subject matter are geared solely towards aspiring colorists, this work is intended to serve a multitude of crew members on all levels."—Matthew J. Pellowski, Film and Television Director and Showrunner"Everything you wanted to know about color grading but were potentially afraid to ask! A great ‘101,’ helping anybody interested in color grading to get to grips with an often-misunderstood area.

This edition emphasizes digital and emerging media, and includes new color photography relevant to contemporary visual storytelling andTrade Review"John Larson’s passion for telling stories that matter finds the heart-pounding dramas in the lives we too often don’t notice." Andrew Lehren, New York TimesIt's true that some people are born storytellers, while others practice and study ceaselessly to improve their work. John Larson is a rare combination of the two."I watched his storytelling for more than 30 years. It started good and then got better. Even more amazingly, he can tell you how to make that happen." Howard Weaver, two-time Pulitzer Prize Winner, McClatchy "I would argue that John Larson is the Tom Hanks or Denzel Washington of TV journalism. He is not a one hit wonder, or even a one-decade wonder. His body of excellent work stretches more than 30 years. I can count on one hand a list of whom I consider to be his peers, and have a couple of fingers left unused." Al Tompkins, Senior Faculty, Poynter Institute, USA"This is a must-read in my classes! The writing is clear and conversational and captures the essence of strong visual storytelling, being prepared and curious. The lessons in this book transcend the classroom and this text has become the bible for doing it right."-Jerry Gibbs, Curry College, USAJournalists have important stories to tell. Stories that can provide a check and a balance to those in power, bring to light societal wrongs, and empower citizens to feel as if they are a part of the process.
