Picture Shop's senior colorists are earning recognition from some of the most respected names in the industry. Pankaj Bajpai's work on Prime Video's Spider-Noir and Tim Vincent's work on The Audacity have been featured across the trade and mainstream press, from American Cinematographer and the Motion Picture Association to the Los Angeles Times. Explore the recent coverage below.
Spider-Noir
Spider-Noir is a live-action series based on the Marvel comic Spider-Man Noir. It tells the story of Ben Reilly, played by Nicolas Cage, a down on his luck private investigator in 1930s New York who becomes the city's one and only superhero. Prime Video made the show available to watch two ways: in Authentic Black & White and in True-Hue Full Color.
Pankaj Bajpai is the colorist behind both looks. He colored the show so each version could stand on its own and stay true to the same story. A wide range of publications covered his work.
