LOS ANGELES — Colornation (www.colornation.net), the remote color grading company, has expanded its roster with the addition of colorist Kalvin Johnson, whose commercial portfolio includes work for Apple, Nike and numerous other global brands. Johnson recently completed color grading a new campaign for Bissell, produced by Tessa Films, Chicago, marking his first project with Colornation. The addition of Johnson continues Colornation's mission to provide agencies, brands, production companies and filmmakers with seamless access to top colorists working entirely remotely.
Prior to joining Colornation, Johnson held senior colorist positions at Picture Shop, Company 3 and Optimus, where he established a reputation for crafting sophisticated, cinematic imagery across commercial, branded and narrative projects.
"Working remotely instead of traditionally is massively beneficial, especially when it feels like you're working traditionally," Johnson shares. "To me, there's nothing better than being in the room looking at the same display, but having remote technologies that allow for realtime playback and a call that lets you see each other's faces is nice. I often view this remote model as an extension of the traditional model: you start the relationship with the client in the room, and that relationship doesn't need to end just because they might be shooting somewhere else in the world.”
