NEW YORK CITY — Colorist Mark Sanna has joined the team at creative & technology studio Preymaker (https://preymaker.com). He brings extensive creative experience in lighting, compositing, design and animation. Among Sanna’s credits as colorist are campaigns for Verizon, Google, Ralph Lauren and McDonalds. Most recently, he contributed to Xfinity’s Aviators from director Kathryn Bigelow and cinematographer Greig Fraser.
Preymaker is a cloud-native studio, and Sanna’s hiring fortifies the company’s “color in the cloud” offering, which they launched in 2021. He will be available to collaborate in-person with directors, cinematographers and creatives at Preymaker’s new Manhattan studio, while also having the capability to host color sessions and collaborate with clients based anywhere in the world using Preymaker’s virtual “Cloud-Stage.”
“We are thrilled to have Mark join our color team,” states Angus Kneale, chief creative at Preymaker. “Mark's past experience is invaluable, He has made a name for himself crafting high-quality content and creating stunning work for clients. Mark is highly collaborative and works closely with directors, creatives and cinematographers to create truly memorable work. Mark is also very excited about innovating and defining new ways of doing things. The way we approach color gives our clients a huge advantage to work on color throughout the entire creative process, not just at the beginning or the end. Virtual, in realtime at the highest quality from anywhere in the world through the entire creative process.”
“Preymaker offered me an opportunity to carve out a unique role for myself,” Sanna adds. “VFX and color are best when integrated into the same pipeline, so I’m able to refine and make adjustments throughout the entire creative process without having to break the VFX or finishing flow of work. Color in Preymaker’s cloud gives our clients a huge advantage in quality and speed. As a colorist, I get the best of both worlds. I can collaborate in-person with directors, cinematographers and creatives working out of the color suite in our new SoHo studio, and I get to use the latest in cutting edge technology. I always enjoy the agile experimentation every project entails.”
