Alex Panton, CEO CHROMACOLOR

Digital Workflow. Metadata. Redundant Back Up. Digital Dailies. Color Timing. Man, the production processes of the industry have changed tremendously in only the last 15 years or so. Gone are the days of a PA with a film canister jumping on a red-eye and delivering the day's work to a chemical lab. CHROMACOLOR is a new film community member offering all of that expertise right here on the ground in New Mexico. Listen in as CEO Alex Panton describes the process from shoot to post and the incredible services CHROMACOLOR has to offer. You'll also be impressed by the company's plans to integrate in our community and bring opportunity to citizens in this fascinating discipline.
