Full Job Description

About the Role

We are looking for a skilled Color Assistant to support our finishing team on the swing shift. This role is critical to ensuring a seamless workflow between colorists, editorial, and operations during afternoon and evening hours, including theatrical finishing sessions. Unlike an apprentice role tied to a single colorist, this position serves the entire color team, assisting across multiple projects—including theatrical releases—and ensuring that work moves efficiently through the post-production pipeline.

This is a flexible-location role—some days will be spent in Burbank, others in Hollywood, based on project needs.

Key Responsibilities

Project preparation & media management

Set up and organize projects for color sessions.
Ingest, conform, and manage media, ensuring all assets are ready before grading sessions.
Track and apply editorial updates as they come in.
Perform color tracing across timelines and projects to verify accuracy, and flag any assets delivered in an incorrect color space for correction with production.
Prepare color suites ahead of scheduled session start (typically 15+ minutes prior) and verify project integrity and playback performance before client arrival.

Rendering & quality control (QC/QA)

Render final graded content and review outputs against the colorist's timeline for accuracy and consistency.
Check for technical or visual errors, ensuring deliverables meet quality standards.
Set up fixes for any issues flagged in QC, as coordinated by production or the client.
Label and organize all rendered elements according to project naming conventions.
Alert production immediately if delivery timelines or cutoffs are at risk.

Technical setup & support

Route video signals and set up calibrated monitors for accurate color reproduction.
Ensure all technical systems are functioning properly before color sessions.
Report machine downtime or technical issues to production and engineering immediately, logging tickets through Freshdesk as needed.
Liaise with engineering when technical troubleshooting is needed.

Theatrical finishing support

Support theatrical finishing sessions with working knowledge of DCI (Digital Cinema Initiatives) specifications and theatrical EDR (Extended Dynamic Range) workflows.
Assist with shooting and calibrating theaters using CR (colorimeter) and/or PR (photometer/spectroradiometer) probes.
Help prepare and QC theatrical deliverables, including DCP-related color and technical checks.
Support sessions with high-end filmmaker and director clients, maintaining a professional, detail-oriented presence in the theater and on the client-facing side of the workflow.

Collaboration & workflow management

Collaborate with the workflow department and imaging science team to determine proper color pipelines for each project.
Work with clients as needed to ensure workflow paths align with final deliverable requirements.
Protect and prepare final assets for studio archives to ensure long-term preservation.
Work closely with online editors, operations, deliverables, and producers to ensure a smooth workflow from edit to color and back.
Send out streaming session invites and coordinate with clients as needed.
Monitor and maintain workflow efficiency to avoid bottlenecks.
Log completed tasks accurately and submit them promptly to support billing and project tracking.

Session handoff & communication

Capture and maintain hero stills across timelines.
Provide clear handoff notes to the incoming shift and production team for any ongoing projects at the end of each shift.
Keep production informed of prep status, session progress, and any issues that could impact sessions, schedules, or deliveries.

Light color work & VFX integration

Perform basic color correction when checking VFX drop-ins, color tracing, and QC fixes.
Ensure VFX elements are properly integrated within the final color timeline.

Qualifications & Experience

2+ years of experience in a post-production color or editorial support role.
Strong understanding of color workflows, video formats, and deliverables.
Knowledge of color spaces, color-managed workflows, and LUT/CDL application is a must.
Knowledge of DCI specifications and theatrical EDR mastering workflows.
Experience shooting theaters with CR and/or PR probes for theatrical calibration and QC.
Comfortable working with high-end filmmaker clients in a theatrical finishing environment.
Experience with color grading software (e.g., DaVinci Resolve, Baselight, or similar).
Familiarity with editorial workflows and conforming techniques, including offline editing and file-based workflows.
Basic knowledge of HDR and Dolby Vision workflows.
Knowledge of digital capture cameras and camera files.
Familiarity with mobile storage devices and formats.
Avid and/or Final Cut Pro experience a plus.
Experience with a task-based or work-order system.
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
Strong organizational and communication skills, with an ability to teach and support others.

Additional Details

This role works a swing shift and requires onsite work at our Hollywood location (or Burbank location based on project needs).
Must be flexible with scheduling based on production deadlines, including theatrical delivery timelines.
Must be able to work occasional overtime, weekends, and variable shifts as needed.

Compensation: $30 to $50 Hourly
