Listen Later

Season 3 of the Color Tour Podcast has been renamed ‘Not on Tour.’

I chatted to Juan Cabrera 3 days before the 2020 HPA Awards where he was nominated coloring the TNT show Alienist ‘Angel of Darkness’

Juan started his first company aged 17 in Madrid, Spain. He prepped for his first color grade by reading the Mistika manual on a 5 hour car drive from Madrid to Malaga. Once in Malaga he graded his first short film and his career as a colorist was launched.

Working as a Stereographer on some of Hollywood’s biggest feature films was Juan’s stepping stone to starting his own Post Production shop in Santa Monica called Lightbender Post. He is a Mistika user and works on longform feature films and series.

Topics discussed

  • How did Lightbender come about?
  • What are the challenges of owning and operating your own shop?
  • Coloring with Mistika what are the advantages?
  • His first color session in Malaga.
