| MATT TURNER JOINS NO.8 AS CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF COLOUR. |
|
| 25 July 2024 |
|
 No.8 have a new Creative Director of Colour in the form of Matt Turner. The move brings twelve distinguished years at Absolute Post to a close—before that, Turner worked at Rushes, Company3, Framestore, and The Mill. That's over two decades and a half decades of experience |
|
Few are more excited about what Turner brings to the table than managing director Barny Wright, who says: "Matt is one of the most talented, respected, and liked colourists in the industry. His career and body of work are second to none and he is the perfect choice to lead the colour team at No.8 as we continue to grow. "The fact Matt has been a permanent fixture in the Televisual Top 10 Colourists list since its conception shows not only how much talent he has but also his ability to stay relevant and keep producing fresh work all the time. Matt also has a history of working with and developing new talent and giving others the ability to shine and we are excited about extending the team further under his creative direction."
Wright adds: "I have known Matt for a long time and I'm really excited to get to work together again, he really understands our 'better together' principle of collaborative craft across audio, colour and VFX and how it's vital to treat people the right way and foster a culture of inclusivity and team values." |

Having the opportunity to build a department from scratch is a rare thing indeed. |

And what does Turner have to say about all this? "Having admired No.8's meteoric rise over just a few short years, I was both flattered and excited to be contacted by former colleague and long-time friend Barny. Their profile, ethic, creativity and strong identity has put them streets ahead of long established post houses already and the prospect of contributing to that mix is thrilling."
"Having the opportunity to build a department from scratch is a rare thing indeed," notes Turner, "and I can't wait to get started with the new team, to integrate into the company and cross-pollinate creativity with the other departments." That sounds like a busy bee to us.
