Could we please have a separate "Colorist Department"
The role of Colorist and related jobs such as color timer, conforming, finishing, versioning, HDR etc. really need to be in their own category. It can be very hard to find who did the grading and finishing on a project, colorists are scattered between editorial, visual effects and maybe some other departments at the moment. Also listing Colorists in editorial is very misleading and confuses people about the responsibilities of the colorists and associates. For a good description of possible colorist duties see https://coloristsociety.com/role-of-the-colorist

Absolutely. I completely agree.
It is not solely about visible recognition. It is also about not being forced to choose between two categories that both inadequately reflect the profession and what we do.
Besides, how can this be that we sometimes have to do quite some research in order to find out – if at all – who the colorist of a contemporary film was? There are producers who don’t know where to put us and therefore sometimes don’t credit us at all.
There should definitely be a color category. IMDb is a relevant platform for our industry and a great recourse to us all. They are not to blame for not establishing a color department from the beginning, but they could make the necessary changes now.
Thank you Kevin for the initiative!

1- No, it doesn't come straight like this from the camera
2- It wasn't graded by the editor either
3- And now, the tasks are highly diversified...
