Experience

Anthony Dod Mantle wanted to utilise onset colour correction at times for all cameras on this shoot. A base show LUT was created by the DI facility and CDL colour correction created when required from the onset colour and exposure management station.

Data management was overseen by Dan Carling who setup a separate data management station either close to set or on the truck, location dependant. Consisting of master RAID and shuttle drives to deliver rushes twice a day to Sixteen19 who were at the hotel to process editorial files and LTO the originals.

The Canon C500 recorded Canon RAW to the Codex S recorder enabling 30fps of Canon RAW at 4K resolution. As the canon used Codex to capture its data a consistent naming convention with the Arri Alexas was setup by Dan during the camera prep. This meant all C500 material had a file name like that of the Alexa, helping with editorial clips and conform down the line.
