Krzysztof has been working on film sets since 2005. He initially served as a camera assistant, a role that gradually expanded to include colour correction and eventually evolved into a DIT (Digital Imaging Technician) position. Since 2020, he has also worked as a colourist, primarily based at Editorium, and collaborates with other post-production houses such as DIF and Fire Place.
On set, his main responsibilities include managing and backing up footage, monitoring quality in collaboration with the cinematographer, and preparing materials for editing. He also performs on-set colour correction of the footage.
He has worked with many cinematographers in the industry, including Witold Płóciennik, Adam Sikora, Paweł Dyllus, Łukasz Żal, Łukasz Gut, Jacek Podgórski, Maciej Sobieraj, Marek Rajca, Łukasz Bielan, Tomek Madejski, Tomek Woźniczka, and Malte Rosenfeld.
His credits include productions such as Przepiękne, Idź Przodem Bracie, Klangor, Broad Peak, Kruk. Jak tu ciemno, Minuta Ciszy, Kamerdyner, Ikar, Pokot, and Jestem Mordercą.
:workshop:DIT
During the workshop, participants will go through the entire film production process, ending with colour correction.
The following aspects of DIT work will be discussed:
– Preparing a visual and colour concept – combining the vision of the director, cinematographer, costume designer and set designer, searching for references and discussing them (e.g. using ShotDeck)
– Analysis of the film production process in terms of DIT work – from preparation, through shooting, editing, conforming, special effects and colour correction
– The safest Data Wrangling processes with an overview of commercially available software, considering the requirements of various companies (e.g. Netflix). Walking through these processes on set and discussing factors that influence them, such as different cameras, readers, speeds, transfers, etc.
– Preparation of materials for editing directly on set (so-called dailies)
– Colour management, i.e. ACES, Davinci Intermediate or Colour Space Transform, and all related concepts, such as IDT, ODT, Colour Gamut, Colour Space, etc.
– HDR production
– Colour correction process (based on the case study ‘Ołowiane Dzieci’ [Lead Children])
In the practical part, which will mainly take place in Davinci Resolve, the operation of Colour Management will be tested in practice (effects and differences based on the analysis of materials from the set). Participants will learn how to create a look, known as Look Development, discuss the tools available to help with this, and those that are built into and available directly in DaVinci. They will learn about and discuss in detail the Davinci Resolve Mini Panel for colour correction – its application, capabilities and how to use it efficiently.
