“There are not many professionals that have the rare combination of artistic skills, technical prowess, and perspicacity as Mike Nuget. His work on Atlanta’s Missing and Murdered for HBO allowed us to deliver a five-part docuseries as COVID hit, forcing us to switch to a workflow remote during the finish, and despite Mike having to take on the added challenges of preparing all the final files for broadcast, we finished on time, our deliverables flew though the QC process, and the color looked fantastic. Mike takes and gives direction well, cares about his craft, and is a pleasure to work with”

“We’ve worked with Mike in a number of capacities since 2016. As a technical advisor of our software product, he’s provided  keen observations on features and improvements that have been a tremendous resource for our development team. He’s also created some training videos and helped us to cultivate the right message for the freelance editing community he represents. You’ll keep hearing he’s a great guy - and he is, but he’s also creative, insightful and a great communicator.”

“Mike was a godsend to our project. His exceptional skill-level and depth of experience helped us to solve all of our unique color needs, while his ability to communicate and get the work done efficiently allowed us to meet every deadline. He was incredibly supportive of the film from the get-go and became a cherished member of our team! I’ll work with him again at any chance I get.””

“It is my honor and pleasure to collaborate with Mike Nuget, he is the consummate professional! Mike is a team player, dedicated, clients love working with him, and his color grading skills are top notch!  If I had a staff position that was open and Mike was interested, I would hire him in a heart beat! I try every opportunity I can to work with Mike, and look forward to the next chance we have to bring him in on a project! I give my highest recommendation for Mike, he is one of the best colorists with whom I’ve ever worked!”

“You don’t trust just anyone with coloring your first feature. That’s why we hired Nuget. He was an amazing collaborator, willing to try out our ideas and also contributing his own creativity to elevate our film. While obviously technically savvy, he stayed focused on the story and always grounded his suggestions in story first. He understood the emotional changes of each scene and how each scene fit together. Why does that matter for a colorist? Because with an understanding of the emotions, the story, the plot, Mike was able to make creative suggestions that were both unexpected and appropriate for our film.”

“Mike has great aesthetic principles of coloring.  His work is based on your needs. He treated our documentary with realism, helping with color but maintaining the integrity of the images. He used his palette to help us paint our canvas.”

“I’ve known and worked with Mike for over 10 years, spanning multiple companies and projects. I can say without a doubt that Mike is one of the best colorist I’ve worked with. Not only does he have a great eye for color, but he also has an advanced technical background, is quick and efficient and has a great disposition with clients. Not to mention an all around “make it work attitude.” Aside from his prowess as a colorist, Mike is also an all around good person, willing to bend his schedule, put in the extra hours, to make sure every last detail is perfect. If your project needs a colorist, you can do no better than Mike Nuget.”

“I have been going to Mike Nuget for color and online work for over 10 years. His impressive technical knowledge, creative intuition, and ability to break down complex notes has always made him a particular favorite amongst producers and post teams. On top of that, he has also always made time to sit with us and create smoother and more fluid workflows.”

“Mike’s clients know him as an outstanding colorist and online editor. But I know Mike as someone who routinely pushes and challenges established workflows to be smarter, more efficient, more cost effective, and ultimately more successful for his clients. In the decade+ spent working with Mike on finishing workflows, Mike has championed technologies both big and small, and has a unique knack for finding the workflow solutions that others have overlooked. His close relationships with the technology manufacturers themselves is part of how he always remains on the bleeding edge of what toolsets of today and tomorrow can do. And those companies routinely look to Mike to better understand what clients need for solutions. Mike possesses one of those most diverse skill sets of any finishing editor and colorist, and represents both the artistry and the very-technical craft of media and entertainment workflows today.”

“Knowing Mike for almost 15 years a few things come to mind: professionalism, an obsession for color, a passion for workflows, and a love of snowboarding. Mike gives it his all on every project that we have worked together on. His eye for color is spot on and he is always pushing coloring to new levels. Having Mike in your corner will take your project to the next level.”
