Color Grading with Rob Bessette
At Rule Boston Camera

Senior Colorist Rob Bessette has color graded everything from commercials to features and is an expert with such tools as DaVinci. You will learn many useful techniques, theory and tricks of the trade.

About the Presenter

Rob Bessette works as a Colorist at Finish Post, a full service post production facility located in the heart of Boston. Before joining Finish in 2005, he was wrapping up his college degree in Studio Art and credits much of the creative process to his artistic background. At Finish, he climbed his way up the ladder from intern to Senior Colorist in less than five years. Rob has color graded everything from feature length films to commercial spots for international brands like Carnival Cruise Lines and Subway. He uses Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve color correction system in his daily work, and teaches how just a little bit of color can make a whole world of difference, no matter the project.
