Sam Woodcock
Sam is a freelance Colourist whose post-production background has featured every stage of the workflow process and is continually evolving as new technology is introduced.
From ingest to offline and online, he has edited a wide range of projects over the years: music videos, short films, documentaries, promos and feature film trailers. All of these experiences have informed and enriched how he approaches colour grading.
Collaborating with clients, directors and DOPs has been instrumental in developing his approach to both the technical and aesthetic side of what he does. Sam creates a look that is consistent, stylised, detailed, cinematic and enhances the footage and lighting to its fullest potential.

Hunted
Returning for an eight series, fourteen ordinary people go on the run across Britain attempting to evade capture by an elite team of hunters made up of former police, intelligence, and military experts. With state-of-the-art surveillance technology tracking their every move and a £100,000 prize at stake, the fugitives must rely on nerve, strategy, and sheer luck to stay hidden. The chase is on, and no one is safe for long!
