Dario Bigi

Color Grading Reel

From recent Films and Commercials I have graded. Shot on Arri Alexa, Sony F950, F5, RED, Canon C300 & 5D footage.

Dario is an incredible talent to work with and always quick to understand the greater creative and artistic ask. Never one to let details escape, he dedicated himself to seeing our vision come to life. Lending knowledge and technical expertise that only comes from experience, he helped improve our post production and transformed our color correction workflow. Quick and willing, Dario never hesitated to help out beyond the needs of an assignment. From technical expertise, creative vision and execution, Dario’s talents made him a quick fit into the team and a pleasure to work with.<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-myles-04301b3" target="_blank">Matthew Myles, Creative Lead at Mercedes-Benz USA</a>

Dario was a great partner to our in house agency at Mercedes-Benz USA. His editing, color and technical knowledge was often relied upon for consumer facing video projects. He was also instrumental in advising our team in areas of technical equipment and lab set up. His attention to the tiniest detail and passion for the subject matter of post-color work was a fantastic match for our projects. His professionalism and general friendliness comes out naturally. I highly recommend Dario as well as look forward to working with him on future projects.<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/vin-iandimarino-8a15b74" target="_blank">Vin Iandimarino, National Advertising Specialist at Jaguar Land Rover North America</a>

What fun we had working with Dario! Our team worked with Dario on two different commercial edits and I was really sad when it was all over — I looked forward to coming into the edit each day because Dario is not only fun to work with, but he’s amazing to watch and learn from! What I loved most about working with Dario was that he never says, “no”, he works with you to explore potential solutions until he finds one that works. Dario is really the best at what he does and is truly one-of-a-kind; I would highly recommend working with him and hope to work with him again in the future!<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/maguireannie" target="_blank">Annie Maguire, Freelance Senior Copywriter</a>

Dario is a fun, collaborative, experienced and fast editor, that can come through with that needed creative revelation at the right moment. He has innovative solutions to issues and is technically adept, which is always helpful in this age of countless cameras and formats and ever changing software and hardware. He is also a great colorist with an eye for the smallest detail that few would notice, and has pulled off miraculous things for me in color correction. He is an asset in editing, color and technical knowledge for any production.<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kim-holbrook-4a764a5" target="_blank">Kim Hollbrook, Executive Producer / Director of Post Production</a>
