We just got a brand-new Red Gemini and took it out for a spin for a couple nights! What an incredible sensor – can’t wait for the dual-ISO upgrade. We did grade the footage, but didn’t denoise at all because we found the grain – even at 12,800 ISO – quite pleasing. If you want […]
As we’ve created more films, we’ve had to create DCP packages for cinema playback, and have had more requests from others to create them as well. If your film is being shown in theatres, chances are you’ll be asked for a DCP. If this is you, let us help. What we will send you: We […]
We recently released a short film that we’ve been working on all summer. I thought I’d talk about the development, production, and post-production process a bit here. If you haven’t yet, please watch the film first! STAY began in two entirely different places. The first was pragmatic. Transposition does client work to cover costs and […]
When preparing an edit for grading, there are a number of things you can do to ensure your edit conforms in the grading suite as you’d like it to. The following are specifications, specifically for prepping to handover your Premiere project, but also apply to other NLE’s as well. Material that does not meet these […]
Wanna know a bit more about grading & colour? I just worked on a grade for Ryan Connolly’s film U.F.Oh Yeah – just a fantastic short film. Ryan had me put together a short tutorial on how I used Resolve & my eye for colour to grade the film. If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the […]
Colour is one of the most important parts of your film, and that should go without saying – it is a visual medium, after all! Oddly, though, it’s one of the most forgotten tools available for the filmmaker! Swing by and get it done at our studio – it can make a night and day […]
Our recent film “Jesus is the Centre,” which we produced for Westside Church, has been received very well and we have enjoyed the responses and feedback from everyone. We’ve had some requests for a behind-the-scenes look at the piece, so here you go! Westside Church moved into The Centre (previously The Centre for Performing Arts) […]
We’ve built a pretty robust media management system over the past few years, more of which we’ll share in a future post. For the purposes of this post, it’s sufficient to know that we archive our completed projects to drive sets. An archive set includes a main drive, which stays at our studio, and a […]
Doing what you love for a living means sometimes you get to do it just for fun. A couple months ago, we asked a friend of ours—the fantastic Jeremey Zimmerman (whom we’ve filmed playing music before)—if he’d be into recording a cover of the song “The Saving One” by Starfield. It turned out early the next […]
[fve]https://vimeo.com/39789903[/fve] In February of this year, myself and a few of my Vancouver friends visited Seattle to enjoy a concert and a weekend away. We stayed at the Coggins’ place, a family that my wife and I are close to and enjoy visiting. Their one daughter, Emily, has played me songs on various occasions […]
