Music videos have always been one of the purest playgrounds for color, so I’m honored to be judging the Color Grading: Music Videos category at this year’s AICP Awards. If you’ve made something you’re proud of, submit it. I’ll be watching. 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲: March 11, 2026 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝗺𝗶𝘁: / @theaicp #AICPAwards #ColorGrading #MusicVideo

"This one came together at lightning speed, about ten days from concept to shoot. I have an amazing production team in Thailand that made the process less daunting. To create the feeling that our main character was being taunted by the 'gap', we physically placed him inside it, building a separate shelf and shooting from behind the figurines, using the missing piece to frame him. Finding 'gaps' in everyday themes meant leaning into Thai culture. Those shots became the heartbeat of the film." - Bruno Bossi, director KFC - "M ssing Piece" Director: @lookhear DP: @liamgilmour_acs Editor: @julianredpath Colorist: @terrysimp Production Designer: Boontawee Thor Taweepasas Wardrobe Stylist: Manuschanok Sitthibhudhichai 1st AD: @nada_nakata Production Manager: Kritthacha Kornchee Line Producer: @aeyanaman Location Manager: Poonsak Ponintawong Producer: @astridanna_iver Creative Director : Nonthapat Cholavit Art Directors: Punatee Punarate & Sean Harrison Line Producer: Aey Anaman Executive Producer: @woodstockisabird Starring: @man.seadthawut Lead Agency: @bananas_agency Production Company: @taprodgroup Music & Sound Design: @pressurecookerstudios

Commercial Feature: Private Property - “We Have A Space For You” “I feel that at the end of it we were able to make a film that evokes enough of an emotion that it reminds people of certain places they’ve been and reminds people that there’s still places to go.” - Zwelethu Radebe, director Director: @zwelethuradebe DP: @jasonprins_dop Editor: @lovewillmono Colorist: @terrysimp Wardrobe Stylist: @samantha_constable Makeup Artist: @mkasouthafricabeauty Creative Directors: @papa_action , @roderick_laka Art Director: @juliebon3 Copywriter: @hlatse_moa Flame Artist: @marcodb Agency: @thisismachineza Production Company: @eggfilms Post House: @postmodernstudios

Eyecandy Feature: Woolworths - Brand Reset (Director’s Cut) (2024). The cinematography on this is off the charts, and it does so by leaning into practical effects like projection, slow motion, and quick cuts. 1. Close up quick cut sequence + speed ramping 2. Space projection > cut-in 3. Quick cut sequence > strobe flash 4. Extreme slow motion > fast motion > high angle tableau 5. Slow motion light flash sequence 6. Surrealist video portrait 7. Low angle profile > Extreme wide 8. Low angle > close up profile 9. Wide video portrait > overhead w/ halation 10. Two shot + push in Camera: Alexa 35 w/ Master Primes Director: @zee._.ntuli Prod.
