Blackmagic Design has revealed its DaVinci Resolve Studio system has been implemented by The Look.
With a mix of physical and cloud-based workstations, DaVinci Resolve has been deployed by the London and Cardiff-based production company to complement recent growth in its picture team and provide scalability as needed.
The solution allows The Look to operate on both Mac and PC platforms, overcoming previous connectivity limitations and the need to work extended hours, said the company.
New workstations can now be purchased or added as IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) as required.
Four DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panels and a number of DaVinci Resolve Mini Panels have also been acquired for The Look’s main suites and technical operations, all supplied by Big Pic Media.
The Look’s CTO and director of online, Mark Maltby, said, “We had a couple of Resolve workstations for remote grading. However, there have been developments for the system, such as its tracking and collaboration capabilities that we felt we were missing out on by not fully moving over to it.
“Whereas before you might have to track a handful of scenes in a whole series, now every time a particular actor appears on screen, they’ll want to track their face and do some form of work. We’re forever putting shapes around things and highlighting them. That tracking work can even be shared across the colour assistants in collaboration mode to improve the experience for our clients.”
