Camerimage 2020 Session – Shining a Light on “His Dark Materials”

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
