CJ Dobson CSI - Senior colourist

Super exciting to see our Cloud Colour workflow featured in Australia’s premiere cinematography magazine.

New film coming soon by the legends who brought you Relic! Natalie Erika James in the directors chair with Charlie Sarroff behind the lens. I can’t wait to start grading this in May.

Michael Shanks’s debut feature premieres at Sundance. And in one of the biggest acquisitions in Sundance history, is sold to Neon.

Woohoo! Not one, but TWO shows that I graded have been nominated for an international Emmy. It’s extra exciting since I was brought onboard in pre-production in both instances for look development and to build the showLUT.

What an honour to get to work on the prequel to one of the greatest horror classics! Coming to Paramount Plus in September.

I spent many hours in a dark room with some spectacularly talented Kates for this epic 8-part series for Amazon prime, DEADLOCH. It can be described as a hilarious feminist noir crime thriller. What a combo! I might be biased but also you should definitely watch it.

Had a blast grading this one with director Jeffrey Walker and DOP Don McAlpine ACS ASC.

Crazy Fun Park was crazy fun to grade! Out now.

I’ve taken the leap and started my own studio, Moodlab. We have two kick-ass screening and finishing rooms designed specifically to meet the needs of Melbourne’s best colourists, flame artists and editors. It’s not only the perfect environment for critical evaluation, but a beautiful contemporary space for important presentations.

I’m excited for the opportunity to bring colour grading into the main stream. Usually when I’ve spoken at events, it’s been within the film industry. I’m also very honoured to be on a panel with some very clever people and I can’t wait to hear what they have to say.
