Color & Coffee

In our first episode of season 2, I sit down with the talented colorist and finishing artist, Tashi Trieu.

Our conversation explores Tashi’s career, from his early interest in visual effects to his collaborative work on award-winning, VFX-heavy projects like Avatar and its sequel. We share stories about the early challenges of managing creative expectations, emphasizing the importance of communication and the iterative nature of the creative process, where changes aren’t personal but part of the evolution toward excellence.

Finally, we delve into the critical role of building trust and relationships in the industry, offering invaluable advice for aspiring colorists on finding partners who share their vision, fostering rewarding creative partnerships.
