CHRIS BELL HEADS TO WASH.
19 February 2023

Post-production facility Wash have a new Senior Colourist in the form of Chris Bell. After five years at Creep, Bell was ready for a new challenge to see if he could make the grade elsewhere. That's where Wash founder Jon Dobson comes in.

"It's the start of an exciting chapter ahead here at Wash, with new team members, clients and projects," Dobson says. "Chris is a fantastic addition to the colour team here and is settling in nicely. We've known each other for a long time and it's great to finally have him on board."



The variety of projects that I get to work is one of my favourite parts of the job... there are always new approaches and techniques to try.

 ”

As Bell looks forward to the rest of 2023 (and the chance to fire up his beloved barbecue again), he says: "I'm so excited to be joining the team at Wash. I consider it an honour to be trusted with helping to add polish to a project which has been part of the creators' lives for weeks, months or even years before it arrives on my desk.

"The variety of projects that I get to work is one of my favourite parts of the job—from features and TV series to commercials and music promos—there are always new approaches and techniques to try." Colour us intrigued.
