Senior Colorist Alastor Pan Arnold

Alastor brings a wealth of expertise to every project, whether it’s a high-budget production or an independent film. With a career spanning almost 30 years at FotoKem, he has worked across various departments—from the lab and telecine to QC, conform, VFX, and color grading. His diverse skill set is matched only by his passion for collaboration and experimentation. In addition to his work as a colorist, Alastor plays a pivotal role on the SHIFT team, always seeking innovative ways to integrate celluloid into storytelling. Alastor’s approach to color is both conceptual and instinctive, constantly pushing boundaries and exploring fresh techniques. For him, color is more than just aesthetics—it’s a vital tool for evoking emotions, guiding the audience’s experience, and ensuring every frame serves the film’s voice. Alastor is a proud member of both the VES and the Television Academy. When he’s not working on film, Alastor enjoys contemporary art, creating experimental films, and pursuing his second passion—culinary arts.
