Spencer Szabatin May 31, 2021 Share May 31, 2021 Hey everyone, I have a question about when it's acceptable to move from a Jr. Colorist to a Sr. Colorist? Just wondering if there is a timeline, like an apprenticeship would have (4-5 years)? I've been editing for just over 2 years, color correcting for a year and have completed several courses on grading and correction. To clarify I'm not going to call myself a Sr. colorist anytime soon but I'm just wondering what to expect going forward in the coming years.

Margus Voll May 31, 2021 Share May 31, 2021 A decade and or good experience to be able to lead department perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clément Bouchet June 18, 2021 Share June 18, 2021 (edited) Hi Spencer, I've been doing color grading on a professional level for 6-8 years now. But I still think I can't say I am a senior. A decade sounds good but it will also depend on the quality of the experience you get with time and if you are doing the job full time. No clear answers here. There is so much to learn, Cheers, Edited June 18, 2021 by Clément Bouchet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
