Peter Doyle,
Supervising Colorist
Associate Member: ASC / Executive Member: SMPTE
From using custom software to color grade sequences of the “The Matrix” in the ’90s, to commissioning the first DI grading packages for “The Lord of the Rings” in the late ’90’s, building a "pop up" DI facility for WB to grade the Harry Potter Films in the '00s, through to working with the Coen Bros. on their first digitally originated film, Peter has worked with Directors & DPs who have consistently pushed the boundaries of visual media.
Peter has worked with Visual Artists, including Alexander Sokurov, Shirin Neshat & Julian Schnabel, and has formed long-term collaborations with DPs such as Bruno Delbonnel, Seamus McGarvey and Philippe Rousselot, and such diverse Directors such as Tim Burton, Joe Wright, Guy Ritchie, Peter Jackson and Alfonso Cuarón.
As a pioneer of new thinking, Peter helped transform traditional film lab chemical processes into bespoke digital methods that ensured greater creative choice and a color aesthetic that is no longer bound by the film process. He went on to collaborate with Andrew Lesnie on “The Fellowship of the Ring,” which won the first Oscar for Best Cinematography that used DI as a tool, and subsequently graded four of Bruno Delbonnel’s five Oscar nominations for Best Cinematography.
Peter is currently working with PostWorks NYC, contributing to the design of a new unified colour ecosystem that embraces the entire imaging design process and creative production pipeline, from rushes to control of VFX plates, final release, DCI, streaming, and physical deliverables.
