VMX Crew Spotlight: Colorist Omar Godinez



What do you say when the BEST Colorist in Texas wants to sign up for Team VMX? Better yet, how did we respond when we got the e-mail from Colorist Omar Godinez today? You can pretty much insert little school girl screams of joy and interpretive dance moves on our end. We had the pleasure of working with Omar on our last project BUTTERSCOTCH. Just watching this guy work is fascinating.

For those of you who don't know what Color Grading is:

Color grading is the process of altering and enhancing the color of a motion picture or television image, either electronically, photo-chemically or digitally. The photo-chemical process is also referred to as color timing and is typically performed at a photographic laboratory. Modern color correction, whether for theatrical film or video distribution, is generally done digitally.

Check out some of Omar's fantastic resume:

- Academy Award Finalist’s Jon Keeyes’ short film Angela’s Body (which was nominated for the Academy)

- The upcoming feature Rising Stars (Barry Corbin and also features VMX's own DP RON GONZALEZ)

- Carried Away (Directed by Tom Huckabee who did Frailty w/ Bill Paxton, Matthew McConaughey, Powers Boothe and also features VMX's own DP RON GONZALEZ)

- The hit family TV show Wishbone

- The mega festival hit documentary Torey’s Distraction

- Butterscotch (directed by Jon Keeyes and written by yours truly Van Bemmel/Wheeler) which is currently making its festival run

- Loads more…
