About


With dedication and a keen eye for detail I strive to make the visual narrative a memorable experience.

As a colorist I like to work in close collaboration with cinematographers and directors to translate their vision into a visual experience that is balanced and holds emotion. I can assist the image process and the look development in advance by showing looks and transforms for specific projects and colour-managed workflows.

Many of my projects are created by independent directors, producers and cinematographers who are dedicated to an artistic form of storytelling and with whom I develop creative partnerships.

Since 2016, I've been working with Resolve.


»The way he handles and organizes all the elements of his extremely beguiling work are irrefutable proof for it. Stephan Knauss is one of the filmmakers to watch closely.«
