Coloring Motion Pictures

A CSUCI Library Lecture Series talk with Simon Quiroz, MFA – at the Ojai Library

Ron Solórzano, Regional Librarian, (805) 218-9146

Saturday, October 15, 2022; 1pm

California State University Channel Islands Assistant Professor of Art Simon Quiroz will visit the Ojai Library at 1pm on Saturday, October 15, 2022, to deliver a talk titled “Coloring Motion Pictures.” This program is part of the CSUCI Library Lecture Series, presented in collaboration with the Ventura County Library.

Even though creative, emotional, and design decisions are made when capturing moving digital images, it is almost always recommended to record and expose these images for information (Logarithmic exposures) rather than what we would expect to see in a finished product. This brief talk introduces concepts and tools on how to go from recording images that on the surface look flat and deprived of color to finish them looking vibrant and colorful for TV, cinema, and beyond, enhancing quality and strong emotional responses from viewers.

Along with this talk, two additional Library Lecture Series programs are scheduled for the coming weeks. Colleen Delaney, Ph.D., will deliver a talk titled “Chumash Presence Past and Present” at the Hill Road Library (1070 S. Hill Road, Ventura) at 11:30am on Saturday, November 5, 2022. Finally, Rainer F. Buschmann, Ph.D., will deliver a talk titled “Primitive Art in Civilized Places” at the Ojai Library at 1pm on Saturday, November 19, 2022.

This event is free and open to the public. For additional information, contact Ron Solórzano, Regional Librarian, at (805) 218-9146 or ron.solorzano@ventura.org.
