MICHELE RICOSSA
SENIOR COLORIST
Born in North Italy, I fell in love with cinema early on. In my childhood, I developed a fascination for the power of pictures – a passion for the visual medium which grew steadily but surely – one that eventually brought me to complete my studies in filmmaking and photography. I began my career as assistant colorist in 2007 on a telecine at Lumiq Studios (Turin) and spent the next 10 years working in Europe and Asia. I’ve worked as in-house colorist at Rumblefish (Milan) and Prime Focus (Mumbai). I’ve also freelanced in Italy, Nepal and India. Currently, I am a Baselight and Resolve artist that freelance internationally, pushing the bar on boldness for commercials as well as long formats. When I am not in DI studio, I work on self-intimated photography assignments which help me comprehend our beautiful and chaotic world.
DANILO VITTORI
SENIOR COLORIST
I was born in Rome where I grew up hating football and loving cinema. During high school I developed a strong interest in filmmaking and photography. My career as a colorist began in 2005 and after a long collaboration with DAP ITALY (actually FABULA PICTURES) I consolidated my position as a freelance, which gave me the opportunity to work with a significant number of directors and DoPs (from Italy and abroad) for TV products, movies, video clips and commercials.
In 2015 I started a continuative and valuable partnership with the largest post-production company in Italy, EDI – Effetti Digitali Italiani, in Milan, as Senior Colorist, lasted over 5 years.
