Color Grading Reel

I grade in dedicated suites and at home, and sometimes on set to prepare QuickTime exports and dailies after a shoot. Working as both a cinematographer and colorist across these environments, I wanted to get the most out of the setup they have in common: a mouse and keyboard. That is why I developed Panel Destroyer.

Available for remote color grading on projects worldwide, with communication in English and Japanese.
