MY PLAYLIST OF THE WEEK

noreply@blogger.com (dam) — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 00:32:00 +0000

The Necks :
I just discovered this Australian band live and they were very impressive.
Their albums are usually one track long that lasts for an hour or so. A mix of jazz/rock/classical/electronics. Piano, Bass, Drums : a trio that plays only improvised music defying genres.
Recommended.

I met Olivier Gondry last summer during my short time @ the Mill, London.
We only had a couple hours together to do the look-set on this. And then I left London and left Adam Scott, match grade everything. Thanks again, Adam because I know it wasn't a simple one to get through, and I had the easy part on this one !

Setting a look is the most enjoyable time for the colorist. It's the creative part. Once everyone agrees on a look, most of the time we "only" have to match grade all the shots together which becomes tedious , long, complicated and after a while not so fun anymore...

WATCH IT HERE

J'ai rencontré Olivier Gondry l'été dernier lors de mon court séjour @ the Mill, Londres.
Nous n'avions que deux heures ensemble pour faire le "look-set". Je devais ensuite repartir et Adam Scott a etalonné et raccordé le reste du film. Merci encore Adam, car je sais que ce n'était pas un film facile et que j'ai eu la part facile !

Faire le look du film est le meilleur moment pour un coloriste. C'est la part créative du boulot. Une fois que tout le monde est d'accord sur le look, la plupart du temps il ne "reste qu'a" raccorder tous les plans entre eux. C'est la partie la plus laborieuse, longue, compliquée et plus si drole que ca a la fin...

It was a real pleasure working with Ivan Zacharias. We met and worked briefly on Nike Pretty last year but was the first "long" Telecine session together. I really love Ivan's work, and hope to work with him again soon.
The nice track "Boble" is by Norwegian singer Hanne Hukkelberg (from her album "Little Things")
