Scott McIntyre

Scott McIntyre is a Toronto-based colourist and cinematographer who has been making images professionally since 2009. Since 2014, colour grading and finishing have been his primary practice. He specializes in high-end colour workflows, HDR mastering and creative finishing for broadcast and long-form content, in the suite and remotely, regularly delivering shows on tight schedules while holding consistency across large episode and shot counts. His work commonly spans 1,400 to 2,200 shots per series, in pipelines built around DaVinci Resolve, HDR delivery and film-informed colour science. His colourist credits include Dragons' Den, The Fifth Estate, Drag Brunch Saved My Life, All-Round Champion, Project Rube and Making Canada's Team. He is a Dolby Vision Certified Professional and a DaVinci Resolve Certified Trainer. As a cinematographer, he began as a freelance DOP in Toronto before moving into long-form narrative work. He has shot four independent features as director of photography: Death on Scenic Drive, Queen of Spades, Do Not Disturb and GUILT. He is a two-time Canadian Society of Cinematographers (CSC) Award nominee and won Best Cinematography at the 2022 NYC Horror Film Festival for Do Not Disturb (dir. John Ainslie). That on-set practice informs his colour work with a working knowledge of lighting design, exposure intent, lens behaviour and camera systems, so he collaborates fluently with directors and fellow DPs through post. Scott is a Full Member of the Colorist Society International (CSI) and has been a member of the Canadian Society of Cinematographers since 2015, becoming an Associate Member in 2019.
