Day 4: 24 Insights In 24 Days – 2020 New Year Marathon!
Grading a long time ago in a galaxy far far away
Welcome to the first insight in an exciting new series here on Mixing Light. In this series, we are going to take a look at the grade and online from start to finish of an amazing fan film ‘Star Wars Origins’.
Here’s the full film:
The Details
Phil Hawkins a great friend of mine directed the film. Shot on RED Weapon 8K HELIUM S35 camera and KOWA Evolution anamorphic lenses.
Living out a childhood dream couldn’t have had a better starting point as David Meadows the cinematographer captured amazing looking images right on the sensor.
I know this isn’t a real Disney level official film but it’s as close as I’m going to get unless I change my name to Stefan Sonnenfeld or Walter Volpatto. The best part of it being a fan film is that we truly get access to all areas:
- The director Phil was the editor so I have the actual edit project in Premiere
- I have all the original rushes from both the RED Weapon and the Drone (shot raw)
- I have all the VFX from starting previs right up to the final renders used in the film
- I also graded and onlined the film so I have every single element – and I can share these with you (except not the actual footage files).
If you’d like to really dive into every aspect of the film, Phil has a great youtube channel and has documented every step of making the Origins film
A little background on the project itself.
It’s just under 20 mins, split into 4 reels and finished at DCI 4k (4096×2160) in ACES for both HDR and SDR.
The first premiered in a cinema in London for press and Q&A screenings. Then, it premiered on Youtube where most people are going to see it.
This is going to be a very in-depth series, as it’s being finished to a studio standard I’m going to go into a huge amount of detail on each step of the way. Obviously, certain things like conforming might not be fun to watch in real-time so I might speed up these moments and compress time when a repetitive task is happening. But apart from that it’s going to be all warts and full view of working on a narrative project like this.
