David Watson

David Watson is an aspiring Colourist.

He became fascinated by video production at the young age of 7 when he began creating stop-motion animations using toys in his room.

Since those childhood days, David has become specialised in Post Production and has freelanced on many projects for various companies. This has included anything from Wedding Compilations to GoPro advertising campaigns as well as creating his own videos which have been recognised on a global scale with one of them going viral and reaching over 30 million views.

He began studying at Ravensbourne University in 2017 and in his second year started working as a runner at Envy Post Production. As David progressed, he became more and more fascinated with Colour Grading. His keen interest in psychology has helped inform many of his colour grades, with his recent dissertation on the subconscious impact of colour on visual narratives. In Summer 2020, he joined Ignition Creative as a Junior Assistant Finishing Editor.

Limit of The Land is a drama piece about a man and a boy travelling to a distant island to take over from the previous lighthouse keeper. When they arrive, he is nowhere to be found and they begin to search for him. The piece was kindly provided to the university, David was able to colour grade it for his final portfolio. David won 'Best Colour Grade' at the Editing and Post Production Awards for this piece.
