Since 2008, he has produced high-end brand and documentary content for clients including Apple, Netflix, Canon and the Royal Horticultural Society.

Alongside his production work, Ollie is one of the UK’s most established educators in filmmaking and visual podcasting. As founder of Korro Academy and Podlab, he has trained thousands of filmmakers worldwide and worked with leading studios and production companies including Flight Story, Marvellous Media and Banijay.

Combining hands-on production experience with a deep understanding of workflow and training, Ollie brings a practical and authoritative perspective to both his workshops and speaking engagements.

Why is color management important to your workflow?

It is at the heart of our commitment to producing engaging film content for our clients. Without color management, we wouldn’t be able to deliver to the level our clients demand, it’s as simple as that.

What would you say is your greatest achievement to this day?

Running three successful companies, without compromising on the needs of my family.

What is an interesting fact about yourself?

I was offered the role of color assistant on both ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King’ and ‘Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban’, but turned them down!

What is a top tip for people who aspire to do what you do?

Never be the smartest person in the room.

Calibrite’s unrelenting focus on color management helps me create the best possible films for my clients. It’s a privilege, therefore, to continue working with the team behind the ColorChecker Video, as they begin the next chapter in their long history.
