We’re back for Season 3!

Kicking things off with Greg Cotten and Andrew Finch, the creative duo behind Video Village and tools like Filmbox, Lattice, Screen, and Scatter. From their Chapman University days to building groundbreaking color and post tools, Greg and Andrew share how curiosity and innovation shaped their journey from DPs to software developers.

We explore the evolution of Filmbox, from a Hackintosh prototype to a fully featured film-emulation plug-in capturing the unique look, grain, halation, and bloom of real film stocks. Plus, how Lattice and Screen are redefining precision workflows for colorists and filmmakers alike.

Grab a comfy seat and tune in for a deep dive into creativity, technology, and the art of film emulation.
