Re: The future of colorists/color correction

[Shawn Larkin] "So if you want to go to the Big Screen, you must have a good projector and all the overhead that getting full range RGB from disk to screen entails. I get that.

But for episodic small screen work, you might be able to get away with AND do a job with less than most of the shops are using today. "

No, small screen, episodic work requires accurate color monitoring. You don't get that from and iMac or MacBook Pro. At least not in HD. And small screens aren't so small anymore when 50 to 65" is the average sized screen being sold these days. The audience at home can see bad color much larger.

For HD color enhancement, you can't get around the fact that you require accurate, high definition monitoring. The easiest way to do this is through a Mac Pro or G5 tower.
