We explore color through the eyes of a professional who works with music. Operatic mezzo-soprano Emily Harmon shares how music affects her vision and her extraordinary relationship with color through synesthesia. I found our conversation fascinating, and it led me to question how a color grade could be shaped by the emotion of the moment, even at a subconscious level.---Synesthesia: a perceptual phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. – Wikipedia-- (00:00) - - Introduction (01:00) - - Emily Harmon introduction (02:37) - - What is a crossover artist?

Yet, so often, I fall into the habit of speaking with professionals closer to my field of film and television, but I really do want to cast the further and learn from professionals working in other disciplines—that is what we are doing in this episode! Anna Evans is a contemporary New Zealand landscape painter, children’s book illustrator, mural painter, and games artist. With so many talents at her disposal, who better to learn about color from? I discovered Anna while watching an Instagram video she made about color mixing that challenges some of the fundamental things we learned in art class as children. I was totally hooked by the way Anna explained things. Her passion for color and the threads of science that keep popping up throughout our conversation make this an episode for both technicians and artists. Anna’s work is beautiful, so after listening to our chat, please check it out through the links below. It made me wonder, whose art most inspires and provokes you to try new color grading techniques?- - -Editor: Rich RoddmanExecutive Producer: https://mixinglight.comPodcast Home: https://colortimerpodcast.mixinglight.com (00:00) - - Introduction (01:12) - - Anna's background and journey (02:08) - - And... the timer begins (02:48) - - The painter's primary colors (05:18) - - Mixing with light (08:08) - - Anna's color palette (09:02) - - Painting birds (12:28) - - New inspiration (14:11) - - Painting as a jazz performance (16:19) - - What kind of paint do you use?

In this episode of The Color Timer Podcast, we have a wonderful conversation that delves into the world of remastering classic films from days gone by, cult films, and those that turned into classics almost right after they were released. I had briefly considered listing Todd’s films, but honestly, the list is so massive that the following shortlist misses out on so many amazing films that he has worked on. So definitely check out his IMDB, and you’ll see exactly the films that Matt has been involved with. Here are a few highlights to whet your appetite: - Mad Max: Fury Road – Mastering Colorist: Special Edition- Pacific Rim – DI Color Assist- Flight – Colorist- Up In The Air – Colorist- Revolutionary Road – Colorist- Hustle & Flow – Colorist- Matchstick Men – Remastering Colorist You’ll soon see that there are more variables to manage than you might have imagined when bringing these films back to life. It’s inspiring to hear Matt’s combination of grading and analytical skills to achieve a result that not only pleases the filmmakers but also delights the fans! You’ll quickly see why Matt’s unofficial job description is that of a ‘forensic colorist’.- - -Editor: Rich RoddmanExecutive Producer: https://mixinglight.comPodcast Home: https://colortimerpodcast.mixinglight.com (00:00) - - Introduction (01:55) - - Matt's Career Journey (03:28) - - How the Re-mastering process begins (04:41) - - Being a Forensic Colorist (06:02) - - Does Matt reference the original prints?
