ArsenalCreative Adds Commercial Colour Services to Client Offerings

ArsenalCreative, a commercial post-production house, has added commercial colour services to its roster of existing client offerings, and has concurrently named Derek Hansen as its new colourist. Most recently, Hansen had been a colourist with The Mill since 2015.

Cortney Haile, ArsenalCreative partner and executive producer, says: “We are very excited to be adding commercial colour to our services, and thrilled to let the world know that Derek has joined us! He has crafted images for many of the industry’s leading influencers, and his strong working relationship with directors and DPs has cultivated a rich and truly diverse body of work. He’s a tremendous new addition to our team.”

“As our company continues to expand, we have discovered that the need for specialised, top-tier talent has continued to grow as well. With the addition of commercial color to our toolbox - and the talents of Derek Hansen under our roof - ArsenalCreative can now offer clients yet another world class artist within a super creative, boutique environment,” Haile concludes.

Hansen says: "I am so excited about building a full-service commercial colour department with ArsenalCreative. Amid a changing media landscape, it’s more important than ever to accommodate client projects of various scale, all the while delivering stunning images crafted by veteran artists. Sticking with Baselight as my operating platform has also allowed for a smooth transition into this new role.  My color experience is perfectly complemented by the well-established VFX artists here. As a boutique studio, we are able to craft a personalized post-production experience from start to end.”

Since joining ArsenalCreative, Hansen has handled colour for a variety of spots, including those for: Benefit (Dir - JUCO, Prod Co - Ways & Means); Cooking with Jeff (Prod Co - Funny or Die); Sonos (Prod Co - Ways & Means); Chevy QRD (Reasons and Real Presenters) (Dir - Novemba, Prod Co – Reset, Agency - Commonwealth);  Adidas  (Dir - Greg Hunt, Prod Co - Farm League); Reebok (Dir - Christine Yuan, Prod Co - Push Media); and Wendy's (Prod Co - Funny or Die), among others.
