Experience
Filming took place in several countries but came to the UK for a 5 week section at the end of the shoot.
Dan Carling combined both onset colour & exposure management with data management for this project. Both computer systems were mounted on a single senior magliner, as DIT had to be based by camera yet still be able to render iPad dailies for the Cinematographer and Director.
The shooting format was Alexa prores so file sizes were reduced. For several scenes a colour grade was done to the rushes to create a ‘yellowish” filter effect. This colour grade was burnt into the dailies files.
An interesting project to be part of.
