Dean Permé

Dean is a colorist and editor whose career in TV/film post-production and imaging spans nearly 30 years. His passion for the image began with still photography, and as a 35mm photographer, dark room operator and Kodak educated color printer, Dean was dodging and burning before Photoshop came on the scene. He discovered motion imagery and video editing just as non-linear systems were revolutionizing the craft, and his natural affinity for technology drew him to the forefront of the industry shift. He spent many years as a creative offline editor, working directly with Hollywood luminaries such as Tom Hanks and Steve Martin.

Since shifting fully into online editing and color grading in 2004, Dean has colored and finished hundreds of episodes of primetime network television. In 2013, he co-founded Revolution Post with editor and colorist Devon Collins. When he’s not plying his craft in the color room, Dean guides Revolution’s technical side, designing and refining systems and workflows. And - after years of setting up and dismantling online and color rooms, he’s gotten really good at hanging blackout curtains.
