We caught up with DI colorist Tashi Trieu, now co-founder of MOSAIC Post Production, on how his workflow evolved from Avatar: The Way of Water to Avatar: Fire and Ash.

The scale this time: 16 discrete picture formats, including the first HDR by Barco 3D release, and over 1,500 unique DCPs delivered globally.

But it isn't all about the delivery count - it's what stayed consistent after all. Tashi graded in DaVinci Resolve 20 with a modular node tree, using Nobe OmniScope's Source Signal and Histogram qualifiers to isolate the blues of Na'vi skin tones and keep continuity across all shots and formats.

DI colorist Tashi Trieu returns to Pandora to grade Avatar: Fire and Ash; 16 picture formats, 1,500+ DCPs, and OmniScope as a precision tool across the pipeline.

"I do my best to learn my clients' chosen language. Color isn't innately understood technically. One client may say 'colorful' while another says 'punchy' - describing the exact same thing."

One of the most common questions we get: "How do I read the Twin Peaks scope?"

So we're breaking it down here to show exactly how to use it to spot exposure, saturation, and colour cast, all in a single track.

We actually walked through this scope in detail with colorist Darren in our latest interview - link in bio if you want to see it applied to a real grading session, not just theory.

“Shadow work is where I spend a lot of my time.”

In this clip, Darren Mostyn shares why one of his favourite scopes isn’t a fancy new tool - it’s simply a waveform focused on the bottom 15% of the image.

Do you keep an eye on your shadows while grading, or do you rely on the full waveform?

"As creatives we need time to create and on-set time is a luxury. Any piece of gear or software that can help me be more efficient — and thus buy me more time to be creative — is worth the try."

"For years I used hardware scopes — different brands, different setups. They are precise, but they only serve one purpose: to measure the signal. Hardware scopes offer no flexibility, are difficult to read, and have no extra functions."
