And so goes for the rest of the crew, from the producers to the interns.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; With the affordability of 10 bit and up cameras\/recorders, we are now able to stretch, grade and or alter our images. This new latitude enables us to achieve images that are&nbsp;closer to real human vision. Color grading tools such as Davinci Resolve, make that possible.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; It also enables a more democratic manner for subjective input from those evolved. &nbsp;How cool is that. 5600K or 5000K? Does not matter. You can deliver both and then some.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp; &nbsp;In addition to a data wrangler, more often now we have a D.I.T. on set. He or she may have started out as a data wrangler but due to the ever decreasing budgets we have to tolerate, that wrangler may find it advantageous to add on D.I.T. skills. I have advised my wranglers to take a course in color.<\/div>\n<div>As a DP, I need to know what the D.I.T. does, and can do. &nbsp;I took Warrens ICA class not to become a colorist, but to be able to communicate with a colorist or D.I.T. .<\/div>\n<div>One does not download the Resolve lite, purchase a 1400$ control panel, and declare themselves a colorist. The same goes for a DP. Just because mommy or daddy buys you a camera does not make you a cameraman.
