About
My name is Zach Smothers and I am a Colorist with a big interest is 1950s-60s sitcoms. My goal is to bring colors and film tones into harmony, and create realistic color palettes that match the familiar look of film. 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.
