International Colorist Academy (ICA) Adds New Instructor

Dado is a highly experienced stereoscopic 3D colourist, based in the UK, and recently graded the BAFTA award winning “Flying with Monsters.” Dado’s ICA courses cover all aspects of stereoscopic post production and are beneficial to editors, digital image technologies, as well as colorists.
