Thirty years. Eight countries. One very big screen
Senior Colorist at Sphere Studios. Baselight trainer on four continents. Co-creator of a real-time color grading tool, built with Claude AI
30+ years · 8 countries · ~30 feature films · 160,000 sq ft of screen · 1 tool built from scratch
Whatever the project, I've always chased the same thing: making the image feel right on the screen it's made for.
That has meant a lot of different screens. Network television and Disney musicals in Santa Monica. Super Bowl commercials. Twenty years leading the color team at Images & Sound in Auckland, on New Zealand drama, Oscar entries and festival documentaries. Baselight suites in Russia, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Vietnam and Australia. And now the biggest of all: I'm the first full-time colorist at Sphere Studios, where a matte edge that's invisible on a reference monitor can become a hundred-foot flaw.
Scale
Color that holds up at 240 feet tall. I grade on glass in Burbank, validate on Big Dome, our quarter-scale replica, and finish on the media plane in Las Vegas.
Worldwide
I've graded on location in seven countries and trained colorists from Moscow to Vietnam as a Baselight trainer. I'm used to walking into someone else's suite and making it work.
Tools
When the tool didn't exist, I built one. I co-created a real-time color grading tool, built with Claude AI, so I can grade live on Sphere's media plane while the client watches.
