Edmond Laccon | Colourist

FREELANCE DI COLOURIST

B etween Berlin and the UK, I am a freelance DI colourist and workflow consultant. I develop reciprocally creative partnerships with cinematographers, mainly working on long-form projects.

I typically work in Resolve, Baselight, Nucoda, On-set Dailies and am experienced with colour managed workflows and in working on projects shot on photochemical film.

EDUCATOR & UP.GRADE

A s head of the German Film and Television Academy's UP.GRADE programmes I am responsible for running courses that educate the next generation of colourists.

To date, UP.GRADE has been the world's only longterm (9-months full time) programme teaching the art and science of colour grading to a new generation of colourists. For more information please see below.
