About

My name is Zach Smothers and I am a Colorist whose big interest is 1950s-60s sitcoms. Many of my projects showcase examples of fine detail color grading using rotoscoping and motion tracking. My work has been featured on popular websites including CNET, The Nerdist, A.V. Club, BoingBoing, The LAD Bible, Dangerous Minds, iHorror, Devour and Reddit.
