Alex Churnoff is a lead colorist at Pictureshop, working on some of the most exciting sport docuseries on Netflix, like Formula 1: Drive to Survive, Tour De France: Unchained, and Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story.
 
Reigning at the top of the Netflix charts, Drive to Survive has had an unprecedented impact on the world of racing, boosting viewer number over 50%, year on year and introduced a new American audience. Nail-bitingly tense, addictively dramatic, Forbes called the show 'The Real Housewives Of Monte Carlo', offering a behind-the-scenes insight to the drivers' lives as they take on their most daunting races.
 
Why do we keep going back for more? How did a show get newcomers so invested in the championship? Alex explains that 'at the core of it, they're all human stories and the sports is just a backdrop to the events'.
 
Alex takes us through the colour changes he'll make to dramatise these shows, why he uses Nucoda for image correction, and his tips on how to ahead of the game.

In this episode, we chat with Andres Aparicio, a music artist from Bakersfield with over 50,000 monthly listeners and four albums under his belt.
 
Andres knew he had a love for creating music early on with his life, picking up his first violin when he was only just eight years old. Influenced early on by bands such as My Chemical Romance, Dance Gavin Dance, Drake, and Say Anything.
 
He speaks about the styling of his videos, which tend to have a retro vibe helping it create a nostalgic feeling to his art, as well as how he goes about developing concepts and his love for music.

Where do you encounter an acidic Mayfair glitz with a noughties Notting Hill bohemian look tied together with a strong sense of aristocracy? You come to Saltburn.
 
In this episode, we chat to Set Director Charlotte Dirickx and Art Director Caroline Barclay about their work on Emerald Fennell's Saltburn (2023). A sticky, uncomfortable, hedonistic riot, this film explores desire, wealth, and power in an aristocratic family home one summer.
 
Fake bathroom's were built, themed parties were thrown. Between them, they take us through the living, breathing mood boards they created to direct their vision, why the house itself became a character, what artists they drew inspiration from, and much more.
 
Saltburn is available in cinemas in the UK from 17th November.
