FilmLight has revealed the nominees for the 2024 FilmLight Color Awards. In their fourth year, the awards attracted over 500 entries from 46 countries across the globe and the independent jury of cinematographers, colorists and creatives have now revealed the names of the 25 colorists shortlisted across the six categories.
Ahead of casting their final votes, the 2024 jury gathered to discuss the entries. During the discussion, George Miller, 2024 Jury Guest of Honor, talked to Jury President, Mandy Walker, and other jurors, about his evolving relationship with color.
“For the films I work on, we tend to get the colorist involved early,” says Miller. “The biggest problem, I think, is that visual effects can be so widespread – with people from all over the planet working on it. With this, there’s a risk of losing cohesion, and the colorist is the nexus of all these interactions. This is why I am so excited to be doing this and seeing all the wonderful work that is being completed across so many different platforms and media – it is a very significant moment and one that will develop even more.”
This year’s nominees for the award for the grading of a Theatrical Feature are:
Dune: Part Two – graded by David Cole at FotoKem
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga – graded by Eric Whipp at alter ego
Poor Things – graded by Greg Fisher at Company 3
Saltburn – graded by Matt Wallach at Company 3
This year’s winners will be announced at the annual FilmLight Color Awards ceremony, taking place at EnergaCamerImage in Poland on 17 November 2024.
