Don't Color Outside the Lines (Blog # 7)

Here's How...

. Colors are a main thing that our eyes see and it brings emotion. Simple to understand. Certain colors bring certain emotions in both animation and even regular film. The first video, combing the colors of different Pixar films was nicely done and shown off who color = emotion. By bringing a blue color into a scene about a death it shows melancholy or even the scene from Toy Story 3, the incinerator. Red and Orange bring out the intend and deadly emotion during it, mixed with the lighting, it brings the scene together into one.

Now, a colorist does this by fixing and arranging a scene of shots to life and to bring the directors idea to the film. From the simple color change of a tram or even bringing it from day to night, a colorists is an essential member of a film team.

Opinion Based

. In my opinion, the colorists is a huge asset and is one of the most important people or the team since they bring a film to life and without them, the film would be over/underexposed and it simply would look really crappy without their help. In both film and animation, the colorist helps bring the desired emotion with the colors representing the characters emotion or the films tone and without this, the film would fall flat and it wouldn't work.

I would love to work more with color and try this out myself.
