Great news!!!

Congratulations! All three episodes (films?) looked fantastic, beautifully shot and edited.

I think "haunting" is probably the best way to describe the visuals. I'd recommend the boxset of the trilogy on DVD.

All three episodes (films?

They are are a trilogy of films and were finished as such with 35mm filmout and have been shown at movie theaters in the US.

Completely deserved! This was masterful drama of the highest order. Haven't seen anything on local shores or even internationally that comes close for many years. Should be very proud.

Not sure what Ridley Scott is planning but again what's the point. Oh yeah money!

 

[Casey Green]

Congrats, to all!

Hi Jonathan, Congratulations on the award!

I saw the 1983 film at the Santa Barbara film festival in California a few months back and thought it was both a great dramatic piece of filmmaking and some of the best cinematography I've seen. I also thought it was some of the best RED footage I've seen and as a RED camera user I was wondering if you could shed some light on the post process.

Also a lot of the scenes were very dark and contrasty, not the strongest area for the RED ONE. I am assuming that a lot of light was used in these scenes and they must have been shot at a pretty low ISO; Maybe even darkened in post?

I would love to learn more.

Thanks.
