Moving Picture Company (MPC) has brought sr. colorist Duncan Russell aboard its London studio. His experience spans stints at Glassworks, VTR, Prime Focus, Smoke and Mirrors, and most recently as head of grading at Freefolk.

Russell’s portfolio of notable work includes grades for the Suzuki Dodgems spot directed by Noah Harris and last year’s embroidered tapestry animation for the BBC World Cup. Other career milestones include remastering Citizen Kane and Mean Streets, grading for legendary DP Jack Cardiff, and promos for Madonna, Kanye West, Alt-J and Nicki Minaj.

Jean-Clément Soret, global creative director of color grading at MPC, said: “Duncan has been a well known talent on the London scene for a number of years, I am excited that the stars aligned and we finally get to work together.”

MPC’s remote grading network facilitates clients tapping into color talent across MPC’s London, L.A., NY, Amsterdam, Paris and Shanghai studios.
