Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve Used On Avatar

News Image
It has been announced that Modern Videofilm Inc. employed four Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve systems for colour grading and full 3D stereoscopic effects for James Cameron's latest motion picture, Avatar.
To handle the immense scope and complexity of colour correcting the alien worlds of Avatar, Modern Videofilm developed a network of DaVinci Resolve systems all connected via optical fibre.
Three systems were installed at Modern Videofilm’s main office in Glendale, CA, with the fourth system installed 56 miles away at the Fox Studio lot and by building a colour correction suite directly on the Fox lot, Modern Videofilm was able to handle the enormous number of real-time colour corrections and 3D transfers between facilities.
These requirements included up to 120 colour changes on some EDLs, using hundreds of nodes and creating multiple versions for the theatrical release.
Mark Smirnoff, President of Studio Services at Modern Videofilm stated: "The Avatar look and feel is very specific, and James Cameron and his crew knew exactly how they wanted every frame to look.
"The sheer size and scope of what we were working on required the absolute best in colour correction and 3D, and DaVinci Resolve fits that need perfectly."
Grant Petty, Chief Executive Officer at Blackmagic Design concluded: "Avatar and Modern Videofilm really put the power and flexibility of the DaVinci Resolve to the test, and showed why the system is the highest standard for colour correction and 3D.”
