An online colour workshop for creatives working across Film and Television

Join me online for an evening exploring how colour shapes character, atmosphere and storytelling, and how to translate a palette into practical decisions across production design and set decoration for Film and Television.

Over 2.5 hours, we’ll work through colour theory, film and television references, and examples from production, with plenty of room for questions and discussion.

Together, we’ll cover:

• Understanding colour beyond the colour wheel
• Where colour comes from, with a brief historical detour!
• Building palettes that support character, mood and narrative
• How colour behaves on camera and common mistakes to avoid
• Working alongside costume, lighting and camera departments
• Practical approaches to sourcing colour through furniture, fabrics, props and dressing
• Real production examples that take us from theory to practice

Whether you’re developing a palette for an entire production or choosing objects to detail a single set, we’ll explore how individual colour choices work together and influence what an audience sees and feels.

The workshop is suited to designers, set decorators, art directors, buyers, stylists and junior art department crew, as well as interiors and spatial design creatives interested in working for the screen.

Above all, it’s a chance to spend an evening talking colour with fellow creatives and leave with practical ideas to bring into your own work.

Once booked, your joining information and online access details will be sent by email before the session.
