Experience	CREATIVE AND PROFESSIONAL COLOURIST AND ONLINE EDITOR I'm Andre Rusu, a BAFTA award winner* freelance Colourist and Online Editor based in London, worldwide availability on request. My dedication is unfaltering; whether I am working on a Cannes nominated feature film or an up-and-coming web release I bring the same genuine energy. My previous roles enabled me to utilize a multitude of cutting edge technologies and advanced systems including NuCoda; Baselight, Quantel iQ, AVID DS Nitris HD, Assimilate Scratch, DaVinci Resolve, Flame and Smoke, and Adobe CS5.5 Series; having the capacity to work with all mentioned systems efficiently and fluently means I can basically hit the ground running on all productions and pipelines. My wide working experience coupled with a strong understanding of all aspects of the industry means my confident creative and technical ambition can translate seamlesly into your production and needs. • In 2010 I have graduated from the prestigious NFTS (National Film and Television School) /RCA (Royal College of Art) London with a MA of Arts, Film and Television degree with specialty in Digital Post Production and I am well qualified for the employment opportunities in the field in the industry. • Beyond a wide technical expertise, I also bring a well-developed artistic vision coming from many years of fine arts training - MA and BA degree, Sir John Cass London. As a Colourist and Fine Artist, I comprehend perfectly the artistic effects of colour, in order to enhance the narrative of each production.
