Blake started in the industry as a tape operator and his skills were quickly recognized and he soon became a colorist in Hollywood. He started out first color grading films and eventually went on to color grade several major television shows. Eventually Blake went on to do commercial color grading. Blake then came to Holland where he worked as Senior Colorist and Technical Director of Condor Post Production in Amsterdam. After being at Condor for almost ten years, Blake went to work for Pandora as Director of Training where aside from training colorists around the world he was also the author of the Pogle operator manual. During this time, Blake was also the author of the books “Film into Video: A Guide To Merging The Technologies 2nd Edition” and “Video Color Correction For Non-Linear Editors: A Step By Step Guide” published by Focal Press. Soon after, Blake was hired by daVinci as an independent contractor to conduct colorist training classes throughout the world and was also the author of the Resolve operator manual. Blake has worked with Resolve since it’s conception, so he has an intimate knowledge of the system. Blake now lives in Germany where he is a colorist instructor and Resolve specialist for Creative Tools/Videocation in Munich. He conducts ICA colorist training classes at their training center. Blake also remains active as a colorist. His credits include commercials for Heineken, Ford, Mastercard and Amstel. Blake works on many different types of projects such as the recent DI restoration of the official Olympic films for the IOC and has color graded over 160 movies including 2001: A Space Odyssey, Poltergeist and A Nightmare on Elm Street to name only a few. When not working Blake likes astrophotography, underwater photography as well as computers. Über Blake Blake Jones ist ein weltweit anerkannter Colorist mit Sitz in Deutschland. Er hat über 28 Jahre Erfahrung mit allen Formen der Farbkorrektur. Blake begann seinen Werdegang als Tape Operator, doch sein Auge für Farben wurden schnell erkannt und er wurde bald zu einem Colorist in Hollywood. Er begann zunächst mit der Farbkorrektur an Spielfilmen und arbeitete schlussendlich an der Farbkorrektur mehrerer großer Fernsehserien. Nach einiger Zeit verlegte Blake seinen Arbeitsplatz in die Niederlande, wo er als Senior Colorist und technischer Direktor bei Condor Post Production in Amsterdam arbeitete. Nach fast zehn Jahren bei Condor ging Blake als Director of Training zu Pandora, wo er neben der Ausbildung von Coloristen auf der ganzen Welt auch als Autor des Pogle Operator Manuals tätig war. Während dieser Zeit war Blake auch der Autor der Bücher “Film into Video: A Guide To Merging The Technologies 2nd Edition” und “Video Color Correction For Non-Linear Editors: A Step By Step Guide”, erschienen bei Focal Press. Bald darauf wurde Blake von daVinci als unabhängiger Auftragnehmer angeheuert, um Colorist-Schulungen in der ganzen Welt durchzuführen, und erarbeitete als Autor das Resolve-Bedienerhandbuch. Deswegen ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass Blake einer der erfahrensten Coloristen mit daVinci Resolve ist. Blake lebt jetzt in Deutschland, wo er als Colorist-Trainer und Resolve-Spezialist für creative tools/Videocation in München tätig ist. Er leitet ICA-Coloristenschulungen in deren Schulungszentrum. Blake ist auch weiterhin als Colorist tätig. Zu seinen herausragendsten Arbeiten gehören Werbespots für Heineken, Ford, Mastercard und Amstel.

Wenn er nicht gerade arbeitet, beschäftigt sich Blake Astrofotografie, Unterwasserfotografie und Computer.

Virtual Classroom Training (Zoom-Meeting) with our Trainer Blake Jones Der Workshop findet in englischer Sprache statt. Fragen können jedoch in Deutsch gestellt werden. An introduction to the basic colour science needed for monitor calibration and colour managed workflows. Focus is on practical use rather than math! Find out about delivery formats, display technologies and the difference between TVs and reference displays. Experience monitor calibration in a practical session. Colorists refer to their main grading display as “The God Monitor” and there is no doubt that color enhancement is only useful if the display is calibrated in a meaningful way. Understand rec709, BT1886, BT2020, BT2084, BT2100, and more, and learn to set up and check a display. Discover what equipment you need to perform calibration on monitors and projectors and how to choose from the diverse products on the market. Color science 101 is ideal for anyone who uses a display for critical viewing decisions, including DITs, colorists, editors and VFX artists. No prior knowledge is assumed, and by the end of the two days everyone should understand VT 709, BT1886, BT2020, BT2084, BT2100, and more, as well as being able to set up and check a display device. Topics include basic color science, color gamuts, calibration software and probes, practical calibration, profiles and LUTs. Calman products are used in this class. - Why the eye sees differently to the camera - Colour Management Basics - Why images look different on different display devices - Display calibration - The difference between a profile and a LUT - log, linear and PQ EOTF - Understanding LUTs - About wide colour gamuts and HDR - Choosing a colour space FAQs - What is the difference between a 1D and a 3D LUT? - What is the difference between a profile and a LUT? - Why not do everything in rec 709? - Is sRGB the same as rec 709? - Why is “log” not a color space? - Is color management just a matter of calibrating my monitor? - I have a reference broadcast monitor, why does it need calibrating? Each day we usually start at 10:00 and finish at 17:00. We also have a lunch break for one hour. About Blake Blake Jones is a world renowned colorist based in Germany.

Working with clients successfully is something you have to work at. It doesn’t come naturally for most, but confidence in the software will mean increased confidence in yourself. In turn that will reflect in front of your clients. More and more colorists are working alone, this has been heightened by the Coronavirus restrictions. The days of bouncing ideas from a fellow colorist down the hall, or sitting with a senior colorist are not very achievable options during the Pandemic. This new mentoring class is ideal if you have a good understanding of the software but still have lots of un-answered questions about the industry in general. This is not a technical class, more of an information session on how and why I do things. It features my ideas on how to best tackle a session at the same time as managing your client’s expectations. My aim is to make it as close as possible to simulating a junior working with a senior colorist in a full time situation. - What inspires me? How do I get motivated? - How much does the gear and my room influence my quality as a colorist? - How to approach a big or small project - How to deal with the Director, Producer, DP, and Agency - How can you plan your career as a colorist? (5 years ahead) - Should you work for free? If not, what discount should you give? - Can you work for big post houses and have your own studio? - How can I create contacts in this industry? - What should you be charging? - Basic knowledge of finance for independent color studios. - Features or Commercials, Docos or Music Videos. Can I cover them all or is it better to focus on a niche? - Reels. Do I really need one in 2020? - Social Media, when and how many times should I post? - How can I open international markets? Can I move to a new country? - Q&A to finish We usually start at 10:00 and finish at 17:00. We also have a lunch break of one hour.
