Tony has demonstrated broad knowledge and skill in color and post production, which I know will be a great asset to the rest of the ASC’s membership.”
With over twenty-five years in the entertainment industry, D’Amore has continued to sharpen and elevate his expertise in color grading and post-production workflow. Known as an industry pioneer of HDR workflow, he has utilized his extensive knowledge of the industry’s cutting-edge advanced color grading software to contribute to the color of multiple top-rated TV series including, FX’s ‘Legion’ and ‘Fargo’, Netflix/Marvel’s ‘Jessica Jones’, ‘Iron Fist’, ‘Daredevil’, ‘Luke Cage’, ‘The Defenders’, Amazon’s ‘Carnival Row’, ‘Hanna’, and many more.

When asked about being initiated for membership into the century old entertainment industry society, D'Amore said, “I am looking forward to sharing what I have learned over the years with the ASC members. This industry is becoming more and more technical as the years go on and it’s important that we embrace new technology without losing sight of the old. The colorists role is it to be a bridge between the two.”
