The producers of Leonie have come to us to handle all the VFX and the offline workflow for Japanese Director Hisako Matsui’s latest masterpiece. Post Mango’s Sean Findley spent 5 weeks on location in New Orleans supervising the VFX shots and digitizing HDSR log rgb tapes and color grading them using a LUT provided by Fotokem. Award winning cinematographer Tetsuo Nagata who shot La Vie en Rose is shooting the film on kodak 500asa, Fotokem is telecining to HDSR log rgb in it’s raw color space and Post Mango is doing the rest. The footage looks amazing and we’re thrilled to be working with this Japanese team.
Burning Palms, a feature film made up of 5 captivating short stories was written and directed by Chris Landon, shot by Seamus Tierney and Produced by Jason Hewitt. The film was shot on the RED camera and looks amazing. There doesn’t seem to be a limit to what we can do using Apple Color with the raw RED footage. This is surely one of the new work-flows that will be widely used in Hollywood and beyond. We’re excited to say the least.
