The winners of color grading system developer FilmLight‘s 4th annual Color Awards were presented Sunday at the EnergaCamerimage international cinematography film festival in Toruń, Poland. Honored colorists included Company 3’s Greg Fisher, who was recognized for “Poor Things” (theatrical feature); Manuel Portschy, for “The Zweiflers” (TV series/episodic); Nadia Khairat Gomez, for Brodka x Igo’s “Myślę sobie Ż” (music video); and Company 3’s Tim Masick, for Zara’s SS24 Studio Collection (commercial). Raúl Lavado Verdú at Misterio Color Lab won the Spotlight category for “La Espera” (“The Wait”) and Douglas Dutton (Baltic Watches’ Harmonical Diffusion) received the award for emerging talent.
Director and guest of honor George Miller helped to open the ceremony, before the awards were handed out by jury president and Oscar-nominated cinematographer Mandy Walker. “Each artist has shown a resonant point of view into how we can both view and reflect the world on our screen,” she said. “It is brilliant to celebrate how different colorists can collaborate to shape different projects. Color is a universal language, and it has been our honor to celebrate the vivid brilliance of creatives from all over the world. From stark dramatic imagery to lush vibrancy and everything in between, we are forever inspired and excited to see what is to come.”
