Why ScopeBox? And why software scopes at all, especially when products like Resolve have built in scopes?įor one, I can dedicate an entire screen to my scopes and have multiple versions of the same scope set up – sometimes with twelve different scopes open. As a colorist, they’re essential – your eyes will lie to you! And ScopeBox from Divergent Media plays a big role in my work, and in my courses. Scopes are a big part of what I’m teaching. While I teach them the software, I also teach them how I think as a colorist – and that has a big impact on how you actually use software. In the Flight School series, I basically replicate a color correction session for my students. It’s why I created The Tao of Color, Mixing Light, and a new series coming out this summer under The Colorist Flight School series. Patrick continued, “Training, creating tutorials, basically sharing my knowledge about color correction is my life. Because as Patrick puts it, ‘when you need to look at an image objectively, you need to look at the image without looking at it because your eyes lie to you.’ Patrick shared with us some of his thoughts on how the technology complements the art, and when best to rely on software to help achieve the highest image quality possible. All about the craft of color, the science of color, and of course, the technology of color. And he’s been teaching ever since creating tutorials, publishing a newsletter, leading workshops, launching a membership site and is currently writing a book. In 2010 he stepped down from the group to focus his teaching on – a website dedicated to mentor-style online teaching of color correction. He later joined that group’s Board of Directors to become its Treasurer and – when his mentor, the group’s fearless leader Michael Vitti, passed away at NAB – Patrick took over as President.
