Lajos Pataki Digital Imaging Technician
Lajos began his career in 2000 as a camera operator before transitioning into editing and later specializing as a colourist. With a strong background in colour, he has worked on an array of high-end TV and feature films, gaining experience in both on-set and post-production roles. His keen eye for detail and expertise in colour grading allow him to craft and manage workflows that align seamlessly with the DOP’s vision.
Lajos first joined Digital Orchard in 2014 as an assistant DIT on Grimsby, where he had the opportunity to develop his skills in onset workflows. He then advanced in his career as a colourist before returning to Digital Orchard in 2021, working on Avenue 5 and Treason as a Dailies Lab Operator. While he appreciated the technical and behind-the-scenes aspects of the role, he found himself drawn back to the dynamic environment of on-set work.
Embracing this shift, Lajos transitioned to an on-set DIT/data manager roles (The Larkins 2, Burning Girls, Brian and Maggie etc.) and continues to focus on live grading for features and high-end TV. Having spent years in both post and on-set environments, he now prefers a more active, non-sedentary role while still combining his passion for colour grading with the challenges of working on location.
