News, reviews, thoughts, career advice, and
humor for professional Video / Film
Colorists & Finishers. Delivered Sundays.
Curated by a professional color grader and
the CEO of MixingLight.com.
We are officially in summer, here in the Northern
Hemisphere. I hope it finds you doing well.
This
brings us to the topic of Summer Blockbuster movies. On
opening weekend, my Mission: Impossible—finding a Dolby
Vision screening of Mission: Impossible. I couldn’t,
except for a single 9 p.m. screening at the three
different theaters I checked.
But the IMAX
presentation? Not a problem. I’m not sure I like this
trend of ‘shot-on-IMAX’ movies limiting alternative
premium formats. My local IMAX screens all have
uncomfortable seats. And now that theaters are starting
to re-install IMAX film chains, I’m even less happy.
Unless I watch a screening on opening weekend, I’ll get
to see film scratches and pops in super-large formats in
sub-standard comfort. This feels regressive to me, but
it’s keeping filmmakers happy.
Hopefully,
exhibitors will upgrade their auditoriums as they
upgrade their projection hardware.
That’s my deep
thought for the week.
I’ll see you next Sunday.
Happy Grading!
Sincerely,
Pat

The Craft
Featuring the work of creative craftsmen, the
theory of color, and industry news. Learn practical
workflows, useful theories, and actionable insights
from existing (and emerging) leaders and teachers in
our industry.
There are interesting details about the
physical challenges of making this film.
There’s also a short section on the
color grading schedule and the scene
they worked on the most.
“The industry has needed a better
approach to measure and present true
color capability, as well as a means of
plotting an inherently 3D property on 2D
media. To address this need, Japan
Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) pioneered
a tool called Gamut Rings. It is notable
that in recent years, Gamut Rings have
been written into standards from key
organizations including SID’s ICDM (IDMS
5.32), the IEC (such as 62977-2-1,
62977-2-2, and 62906-5-1), and the CIE
itself (such as CIE 246).”
