UP.GRADE

The DFFB cre­at­ed the world’s first inten­sive long-form post­grad­u­ate train­ing pro­gramme ded­i­cat­ed exclu­sive­ly to colour cor­rec­tion: UP.GRADE — Colour­ing Tomor­row. For four years, UP.GRADE was sup­port­ed by CREATIVE EUROPE’s pro­gramme MEDIA, as well as by ARRI, Medi­en­board Berlin-Bran­den­burg, and Tech­ni­col­or.

Through UP.GRADE, the DFFB has been able to sat­is­fy the enor­mous demand for knowl­edge that has arisen from the dig­i­tal­i­sa­tion of all pro­duc­tion process­es over the last 15 years. UP.GRADE has trained par­tic­i­pants in the tech­ni­cal, the­o­ret­i­cal, prac­ti­cal, and aes­thet­ic aspects of colour grad­ing.

Unfor­tu­nate­ly, the fund­ing from CREATIVE EUROPE’s pro­gramme MEDIA was dis­con­tin­ued in 2019.

There was a com­pre­hen­sive short pro­gramme in sum­mer 2019. Par­tic­i­pants deep­ened their knowl­edge on all essen­tial aspects of colour grad­ing through six work­shops.

The work­shops includ­ed the fol­low­ing top­ics: Acqui­si­tion, Work­flows, Toolset, Cre­ative and Exhi­bi­tion. Each work­shop took place in Berlin over a peri­od of 5 days and was held in Eng­lish.
