Introduce Yourself : Canadian Colourist Looking to Connect by Melissa Trottier

Canadian Colourist Looking to Connect

Hi there! I'm new to Stage 32 so I thought I'd say hello.

I'm a longtime photographer who's recently transitioned into colour grading.

I’m currently looking for opportunities to do grading work remotely or in person anywhere in the Sea to Sky area. I can support as a Colour Assistant or if that's not available right now, I’d be grateful for the chance to shadow—just to be in the room and soak up the energy and process.

Last but not least, I'm looking for any test or unused footage to show you all what I can do!

I’m easygoing and collaborative, and I really value the creative community that thrives around thoughtful storytelling.

Welcome to Stage 32, Melissa Trottier! I’m Ashley, the Head of Community here, and I’m so glad you introduced yourself. Your transition from photography to color grading is such a natural evolution; your eye for composition and tone must really shine in your grading work. I love your openness to shadowing and collaborating just to be part of the creative process.

I highly recommend joining conversations in the Post-Production Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/post_production), Filmmaking Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing), and Cinematography Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/cinematography). You’ll find directors and DPs there who may be looking for exactly the kind of support you’re offering.

We also have fantastic filmmaking education that includes color grading and post workflows if you’re looking to sharpen your skills even further (https://www.stage32.com/education/collections/filmmaking).
