Hasta La Motion!

Hi Fellow Colorists,
It would be my fantasy come true if I ever got a job at ILM. (besides the other fantasy of me & 2 girls on a rock, but that’s another story.)
Anyway, I am very confused about the big studio workflow.

For example, Once a film is complete ( editing,vfx added etc..)
It now needs to be color corrected ( Adjust contrast, make blue eyes bluer, change color of a car, etc)

So my questions are:
1, How many colorists are assigned to the film?

2. Do they break it up into scenes ? (John does the rain scenes, Bob does the night scene, etc)?

3.How much time does it take to for the colorists to complete any given film. Or should I say, How much time does a Big Studio want you to take to finish your scenes?

The reason for my curiosity is because I have been working on a 45 minute
Indy film for 9 months. (don’t laugh)

My job is to do everything except editing. CG planes added, sky replacements, wire & track removals, day 4 night conversions, 3D tracking, 2D tracking, Stabilizing, color correction, and the list goes on… etc…..etc…

So I find myself asking….is this normal? Am I slow as Sh_t?

My last Day 4 night conversion (which was 8 clips) took 6 weeks!

Keep in mind, they broke every rule. Direct sun on the talent, camera pointed at blown out sky, grainy,etc..

So, I would love to hear from the pros,

Thanks,
Lou
