  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Film Four - Red Riding 1983

Would be great to hear from Lee and Stuart at Lipsync about how this was done.

1983 to be broadcast on Thursday 19th March

Red Riding 1983 is being broadcast in the UK on Thursday 19th March on Channel 4 and in HD on Channel 4 HD on Sky HD channel 140.
 
As I said on another thread this is undoubtedly one of the best looking UK tv dramas ever committed to 16mm/35mm/Red - it looks much more like a feature film and is visually pretty unique, especially compared to ITV drama which seems to be passed through some kind of a bland identikit look process. This is the kind of thing Channel 4 should be doing regularly - taking chances and producing unique drama! Everyone involved in "Red Riding" should give themselves a hearty pat on the back...this thing is going to clear up at the awards!
 
The mentality was much more cinematic that anything on British TV for a long while. BBC do some one off's but they are still drowning in TV-land shot selection. Can't imagine the Auntie Beeb doing anything like this...I think they should. Its within their capabilities.

They are feature films, with the DI at LipSync Post.

I meant feature films as in cinema-release rather than feature length/made for tv (my point being that we're used to seeing far more imagination and chances taken with the look of something geared towards a theatrical release than a tv release (especially if we're talking ITV!!), so it's a pleasant surprise to see something made for tv which could easily have been released in a cinema). I think they did a fantastic grade on it at LipSync too. I'm not sure what category "Red Riding" will get placed come awards season (drama serial? mini-series?) but whatever it is I'm pretty sure it'll clean up (there just doesn't seem to be anything remotely near it). Congratulations to all involved!!
