Experience
The main shoot took place in Edinburgh, a disused factory was turned into a temporary studio for the duration of filming.

The onset colour and exposure management station handled all the live camera feeds. CDL grade adjustments were carried out as per Anthonys direction. This gave each set a new look that was passed to Technicolour as metadata.

Onset data management and workflow was overseen by Dan and carried out by Data wrangler Callum Weir. A new Data management workstation was built for the job, making the entire data kart sit in a new 16U shock mounted flight case. In the lid was the 4K UHD display and foldout table in the cover for extra workspace.

Each camera format was MD5 backed up to 2 destinations before being sent along with sound rushes and camera paperwork to Technicolors near set digital lab.
