Can you tell us about your journey to becoming a colourist?
I was looking for a job as a motion designer when Loudness Films opened its doors in 2011. My (now) boss was opening an audio and image post-production studio in Lisbon and they wanted someone to manage the colour correction suite. They made me the proposal and I went to experiment to see if it was a good fit for me.
My first project was a documentary series. I remember walking into a room of five or more people who were focused on me and what I was doing. I didn’t have any experience, but I passed. I took some courses and projects continue to emerge up until this day.
Tell us about your role at Loudness Films.
Loudness Films is an audio and image post-production studio. We have image and audio editing rooms, a Foley recording studio, a Dolby Atmos studio and a colour correction room. We work on all kinds of projects, but mostly our focus is feature films and TV series. I started to do a little bit of everything, but right now I’m dedicated to colour correction work.
