With the success of The House of the Dragon and Dune, sci-fi and fantasy are now attracting mainstream audiences. Little Black Book (LBB) recently interviewed Siggy Ferstl, a Senior Colorist at Company 3, to discuss some of his favorite projects. Ferstl’s spoke on his recent sci-fi color contributions to Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender, Amazon’s The Boys and most recently Blizzard’s teaser for the release of ‘Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred.’

Ferstl notes, “As a colorist, it can be especially rewarding to work on projects set in a science fiction or fantasy world. Of course, the work we do in the grade is just one facet of the work. Sets, lighting, SFX and VFX all have to come together like different layers that add up to the final result.”
