Director: Anthony Mathile

Show Notes: This scene was a central moment which would blossom further in the film. The blue channel was non-existant and had to be rebuilt using the other two color channels. Pure experimentation eventually solved the problem.

Producer: Barnard Jaffier
Network: TV One

Show Notes: Recreation scene. We were going for a black & white look but with some style,
hence the blown-out, softened highlights.

Show Notes: The director gave us lots of latitude to develop images to complement the narrative. This film is a great example of how well HDV holds up when the DP protects highlights and shadows.

Show Notes: Overall this footage was graded for moodiness.

Lead Post Production Company: Digital Arts
Deliverables: Hard Drive

Show Notes: We were hired by Digital Arts, a post-production company, to color correct this series at their facility for their long-time client, ABC News. When possible, hospital interiors (especially operating room interiors) were graded to more closely match the feel of Grey's Anatomy, the lead-in to this series.

Production Company: Turner / Love Productions
Client: TV One
Deliverables: NTSC, Digital Betacam

Show Notes: Shot with practical lighting and gelled red, this flash-back was designed to be a vivid two-tone; reflecting the intensity of the memory.
Project: The Hillers, indie webisode (in production)
Writer / Director: Mike Stivala
Deliverables: Hard Drive

Show Notes: Great shot. Great framing. Just pulling out what was already there. What more needs to be said?

Deliverable: Hard Drive, HDCam 1080i59.94

Show Notes: Completely washed out yet the image was restored. Notice the highlights on her skin - the DP never blew them out giving us the detail we needed to hold the highlights after extreme contrast was added.
