DC Cardinali

I am a semi-retired, award-winning film and video colorist with over 38 years of experience in the industry. My journey has been shaped by a relentless pursuit of creativity and innovation in visual storytelling. I've had the privilege of working on many diverse projects, refining my skills in color grading and enhancement to bring visions to life on screen.

I truly enjoy color grading, offering my expertise as a contractor or freelancer. My passion for pushing the boundaries of color science fuels my dedication to my craft. Each frame is not just a sequence, but a canvas where I blend artistry and technology to evoke emotion and meaning.

As I always continue to evolve within this dynamic field, I remain committed to collaborating with filmmakers and creators who seek to elevate their projects. The intersection of color and narrative excites me, and I take pride in my role in shaping the visual language of stories through my unique perspective. At the forefront of the photography revolution, we all challenge conventions to capture images that transcend the ordinary and tell stories that inspire. Our passion drives us to push boundaries and innovate, transforming moments into art with every click.

With all my many years of experience, I have been able to build a full color grading suite here at my home, using the most current studio version of Davinci Resolve and using color calibrated monitors with least 50TB’s of storage (have access to more storage if needed), I am able to produce color grading for big or small projects.
