Technical Consultant, NY

Anastasia Cipolla is a gifted colorist I have had the privilege of working with, who has proven to be unusually perceptive when it comes to grading restorations of feature dramas that were shot on film. This is a specialized skill set, which she has added to her already considerable experience in grading digitally originated dramas and commercials. It requires a knack for translating the film-era look into the digital present, in such a way that original pictorial intentions are respected and preserved. Which calls for sensitivity, openness, a creative eye, a love of Cinema, and of course technical savvy. Anastasia brings all of these qualities and more to her work as a colorist. Highly recommended. 

Keith Shapiro, Director of Finishing, MPE NY, Hell's Color Kitchen

Anastasia is a consummate professional.  She is both an incredibly creative Colorist and a meticulous technical aficionado.

Anastasia is a team player and made a huge contribution to our facility during a very complex project.

She is now part of our family and I look forward to many more opportunities to collaborate with her in the future!
