About
With dedication and a keen eye for detail,
I strive to make the visual narrative a memorable experience.
I’m Stephan, a Hamburg-based colorist specialized in high-end picture finishing for short and long-form motion pictures.
I believe that a successful color grade should serve the film, its visual language, its narrative and emotional quality. As a colorist, I like to work closely with cinematographers and directors to understand their intentions and develop an image that feels true to their vision and maintains balance.
With twenty years of experience in visual production, I bring a broad perspective on the image-making process. I can support films from early look development to final finishing, creating transforms for specific projects and color-managed workflows according to the needs of each production.
Many of my projects are collaborations with independent directors, producers and cinematographers who are committed to a personal and artistic form of storytelling and with whom I develop creative partnerships.
Since 2016, I've been working with DaVinci 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.«
