Netflix Hosts Colour Grading Workshop in Inaugural Partnership with Golden Horse Masterclass Program

In Netflix’s first partnership with Taiwan’s Golden Horse Masterclass Program,  Kevin Kang, Director of Production Solutions, Netflix APAC, hosted nearly 200 creatives and colourists for an in-depth color grading masterclass yesterday. The Golden Horse Master Class Studio was initiated in 2019 to cultivate and elevate technical skills within the local film industry.

Titled "Unlocking Visual Excellence: Harnessing Technology for Enhanced Visual Quality,” Kang’s masterclass focused on practical tips, fostering interaction among local post-production professionals, and covered a wide range of topics, including the fundamentals of color grading, tips on communicating with colorists, as well as post-production specifications for global streaming platforms. 

Reflecting on the session, Kang said, "I am honored to be invited to participate in this year’s Golden Horse Masterclass program. All the participants are industry professionals, and I hope that through my sharing, they would gain a better understanding on color grading as well as on partnering with global streaming platforms. We look forward to bringing more outstanding and quality works from Taiwan to the global audience.”

Vicki Tsai, post-production supervisor of Eye of the Storm, was thankful for the opportunity to participate in the masterclass. “Kang shared many insightful principles and approaches on color grading and post-production, explaining the workflow in simple terms. We now have a deeper understanding of the importance of this detailed process, which will help raise the standards of post-production to new heights,” said Tsai.

Cinematographer Tao Chien added, “Kang’s sharing of his experience was extremely helpful to me and the entire post-production industry. He also emphasized that all communication and efforts in post-production should center around the essence of the content itself. We now also have a better understanding of the practices in the international film and television industry."
