[Will Keir]

I love seeing these grades.

 

[Derek Morrison]

Thank you Jamil.

 

[Brett Harrison]

Really nice images. Thank you for putting them out there. Is the film available online?

Hi Brett. Your grade looks great! the film has been in post limbo for a while unfortunately. We ran into heaps of sound issues which are ever so slowly being fixed.

Doh! The sad thing is that sound is relatively simple to get right the first time. I take it these are sync issues? Once you find the speed offset necessary, it's possible to batch-convert them all and then sync up every take by hand. It's time-consuming but not impossible -- a good assistant could do it in a few days.

Looking forward to it mate. Everything looks very good from what I've seen. Should grab a coffee some time!

Probably more crunched than most would want it... and probably not suitable for the film but I liked it.

Derek...bad ass dude! Looks great!

Unfortunately I wish it was sync issues, but we had a lot of different noise variances in the forest, and for some reason the actors audio came out really quiet in post, so had some sound mixers trying to fix it, but it's moving very slowly. We've done some ADR, but still having a few issues.

Yes, recording clean dialogue in a forest is very challenging. The birds and insects are a killer. ADR would probably be the best possible solution. Watch Walking Dead​ sometimes -- they do a surprising amount of forest scenes, and the back-and-forth with ADR vs. real dialogue is interesting to listen to.

Bjorn, I really like that super crushed look.

What lens were used? Scarlet camera or Epic?

We're under the Epic SubForum, so Epic. According to the metadata, Canon lenses were used. As far as which Canon lenses, perhaps OP can chime in.

 

[Daniel Reed]

Just curious, are these intended to be be day-for-night?

 

[Brett Harrison]

This is my go-to set of demo grading images now Joshua hehe.

Hi Jae. The project was shot on RED Epic in 5k WS. We used a Canon 24-70 f2.8 L series, Canon 75-300 f4-5.6, Canon 50mm f1.8.

 

[Joshua Hoareau]

Hi Daniel. They weren't shot day for night, but were shot for a somewhat of a weird 'gloom' tone.

Very Nice Grade everyone! Here are 2 shots I graded in Davinci. I wish I had the time to do the rest but here's something at least
