Colorist Luke Morrison has joined Electric Theatre Collective’s London office as head of color. He becomes part of an ensemble of color talent that includes Jason Wallis, Lewis Crossfield, Kaitlyn Battistelli, Ruth Wardell, Mathieu Caplanne and Tim Smith.
Morrison has established himself as an impressive creative mind in the world of color over his already decade plus-long career, earning multiple AICE Awards, including a win in the Color Grading: Over 90 Seconds category for his 2018 Canadian Olympic Committee “Be Olympic” spot directed by Ian Pons Jewell.
Morrison comes over from The Mill after spending the past few years setting up the color department at its Chicago office.
Morrison said, “Working with and nurturing talent is something that I’m really passionate about, so seeing how Electric holds this as one of their core values is incredibly exciting. The opportunity to add my experience and help shape the company whilst building upon their impressive work is inspiring. Having known and worked with many Electric members in the past, I’m truly looking forward to working alongside them again.”
To date Morrison has worked with brands the likes of JEEP, Mercedes-Benz, Beats, and most recently Dollar Shave Club, and has graded for noted directors such as Wally Pfister, Pete Riski and Mark Romanek.

A few years back, she and her husband, the playwright Tracy Letts, moved near here with their two young children, drawn by the long rows of stone walls and a particularly good BLT from a nearby cafe that Letts, after biting into, declared must be within 15 miles of where they lived.
In a few days, they would both fly to Los Angeles for the Emmys (Letts was nominated for his performance in "Winning Time" ). But Coon, 43, was then largely enmeshed in the day-to-day life of raising a family, along with their nightly movie viewings, which Letts pulls from his extensive DVD collection. The previous night's choice: "Once Around," with Holly Hunter and Richard Dreyfus.
Coon met Letts during her breakthrough performance in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe?" on Broadway in 2012. She played the heavy-drinking housewife Honey. It was the first role that Coon read and knew, viscerally, she had to play. Immediately after saying this, Coon sighs.
"It sounds like something some diva would say in a movie from the '50s," Coon says. "I just walked around in my apartment in my slip and I had pearls and a little brandy. I made a grocery list and I just did... Read More
