Editor / Calibrator
Film calibrators or video editors restore a film’s colorimetric and sensitomeric calibration by working on all the animated scenes and balancing the shots within a scene.
Main goals
Their job is to turn what the director and director of photography envision into a reality in terms of colorimetry and light density to give the 3D animated film linearity and ensure all the shots looks the same. Calibrators have a number of tasks:
- Achieve consistency in image density and colour balance
- Creatively deal with several other parameters of the film’s final appearance
- Prepare post-production processing
Required qualifications
