Today, I will be speaking to Jason Bowdach. Jason is a fellow contributor here on Mixing Light. He is a colorist and online editor with an impressive CV that includes major networks such as Fox and Disney. Jason creates a suite of colorist tools through his company, PixelTools. Jason shares what inspires him to create software offerings for the industry and his approach to a new project. He also has an interesting view on AI / Machine Learning and its likely impact on our industry.

This is putting the shoe on the other foot at last. Jason has his very cool podcast, Color & Coffee, on which I was a guest, so now it’s time for Jason to answer some of my questions! Outside of Pixel Tools and his own grading work, Jason also teaches about color and post-workflow, so he keeps fairly busy, to say the least.
