Rob Bessette's Experience as a Demo Meister on Resolve 10 at NAB 2013

Color Talk with Tom Parish

While I was attending NAB 2013 I meet Rob Bessette a colorist from Boston demonstrating the new features for Resolve 10. Like most other Resolve users I was excited to hear about all the new goodies coming but I was very curious what Rob would have to say after returning home to Resolve 9. What was that like after a week of using Resolve 10? Background on Rob Bessette: Rob is lead colorist at www.Finishboston.com for the last three years and began as a colorist 8 years ago. He worked with a senior colorist for 5 years learning the tools of the trade. Rob mainly works on commercials but does indie features also and is starting to do some dailies work as well with all the footage being shot in Boston. Rob says he really enjoys the mix of creative work as well as the technical aspects - a 'real interesting blend'. I can relate to that. During this interview I'm mostly interested in Rob's experience in using Resolve 10 and the reactions he received during the week from the NAB crowd. For those of you wanting all the nitty gritty details you can see this feature list and there is an excellent 20 minute video of Rob demoing Resolve 10 also available.
