Final Colour Grading Session

We had our last colour grading session at Digipost last Wednesday. Here's some pictures:


Colourist Azman tweaking the colours for an outdoor scene.




From L to R: Colourist Azman, Director Eng Tiong and DP Amandi (back facing picture) in discussion. I doubt it's over the colours cos' it's pretty much agreed upon & fixed. I think it's over digital cinema encoding issues.




Director Eng Tiong & Online Editor Chris hard at work. Guess why are they so serious? What else but the time code! They are doing a final check to make sure that in/out timecodes are correct cos' we're breaking the movie into 5 different "reels". What for? For transferring the movie to film. Each reel must not be more than 20 minutes cos' that's how long a reel of film is. We're also checking the timecodes very carefully as the sound is done separately. So when we put the images together with the audio, whether on film or as a D-Cinema digital version, the audio is in-sync with the image.




Whether you love or hate the colours you see in the final movie, the culprits - Colourist Azman, Director Eng Tiong and DP Amandi.




Oh, and erm... moi the Producer too!
