In this episode of The Offset Podcast we’re talking about something that’s been on our mind for while - virtualization. Specifically how virtualization can help facilitate and color and postproduction workflow.

If you’re new to the subject than this episode is a good primer on the essential components of virtualization, for those of you more experienced with virtualization, we believe strongly that virtualization will continue to play a large role in our industry and over the next few years become mainstream in many post and finishing workflows.

Specific topics discussed include:

• What is virtualization and why is it important?
• Local hardware mentality vs virtualization
• Local hypervisors and VMs
• Virtualization servers (DIY local and or Cloud Based)
• Key vocabulary - bare metal, pass through etc
• The role of Remote Desktop/streaming and local clients in a virtualized setup
• Why and how we’re experimenting with fully virtualized workflows
• The trickle down effect of virtualization is gaining steam

In this episode of The Offset Podcast we’re talking about a subject that’s near and dear to us - color education.

Over the past 25 years both Joey and Robbie have written books on postproduction, authored hundreds of hours of tutorial content and spoken on color and postproduction at conferences and events all around the world.

For this episode we thought it’d be fun to have one of our favorite color educators join the show as a special guest. Who’s that special guest? None other than the incomparable Cullen Kelly.

As a colorist Cullen’s eye is sought after by some of the biggest brands and best film makers in the world, as an educator his knowledge and easy going manner have earned him the respect of thousands around the world and even gave brith to a thriving community he manages. As a developer - first with DCTL and now OFX, Cullen is combining his love of color science and workflow all to help colorists create compelling images.

Specific topics we cover in this episode include:

• Cullen’s background and how his journey began with a desire to know more about color
• How being a staff colorist drastically impacted his skills and learning the craft of color grading
• How the facility experience also drove his desire to learn more about what was happening behind the scenes with image creation
• Rewarding the passion of others by sharing knowledge and building a community
• Color and post have lots of ‘lanes’ of knowledge, no one ever regrets knowledge gained
• How knowledge is tiered - you can’t learn everything all at once.
• The challenges of calibrating education to your audience
• The role of principles and how they outweigh any specific tool
• The challenge of teaching when the quality of footage, projects, and skillsets vary
