Thanks to Camerimage and panelists for presenting this session about ACES workflow for “His Dark Materials” SE2.
This panel session explores the ACES workflow from pre-production through grade for the much-loved BBC and HBO fantasy series, His Dark Materials, Season 2 shot 6K Full Frame on the Sony VENICE with Zeiss Supreme Lenses for a 4K HDR master. The panel takes in the perspectives of the brilliant Director of Photography David Higgs, BSC, Colour Supervisor Pablo Garcia Soriano, Mission DIT Luke Williams & Technicolor Colourist Sam Chynoweth (an early adopter of ACES in 2014 for The Lego Movie).
The session deconstructs the latest 4K HDR ACES workflow from pre-prep, creating the LMTs (LUTs), working on-set with CDLs (colour adjustments), dailies, data workflow, capturing VFX metadata on-set and the VFX and colour pipeline all the way through post to master.
The moderator was James Bennett, Managing Director of Televisual
