Colorist Society (CSI) strives to advance the craft, education and awareness of the art and science of color grading and color correction. CSI is the first professional society devoted exclusively to furthering and honoring the professional achievements of the colorist community. It is not a labor union or a guild, but an educational and cultural resource. Membership is open to professional colorists, editor/colorists, DITs, telecine operators, color timers, finishers, restoration artists, and color scientists. CSI full member applications are vetted regardless of credits or standing in the community.
