FilmLight Chosen For Post House In India

Nube Studio, set up to provide uncompromised grading services for the Indian market, has opened with a Baselight TWO grading workstation as its centrepiece. The colour-driven facility is providing services for commercials, music videos, television and film throughout the region.

Aimed at the top end of production, an important requirement from the facility is to be able to work natively with raw files from any camera on the same timeline. The Baselight system is renowned for its ability to accommodate all professional formats, and also fully supports grading metadata of any complexity, including primaries, secondaries, keys, shapes, tracks, LUTs and Truelight Colour Spaces. This allows the colourist to explore all the details from the camera, and achieve the look the cinematographer intended.

"Baselight delivers on every feature without restricting the creative process," explained senior colourist and co-founder Navin Shetty. "I am able to concentrate on grading and never compromise on quality or inspiration. Even at HDR 4K, Baselight delivers real-time playback as soon as the content is in the system. Clients are not kept waiting, and with the help of the superior grading tools they can see the final result immediately. For clients, the faster system equals staying within budget."

Wolfgang Lempp, CEO at FilmLight, added: "We are proud to be associated with India's leading colourist, Navin Shetty. He is very particular about the quality and output of his films. What he and his business head, Ranjan Karkera, have recognised is that directors and producers want to come to a post house and see great pictures just the way they imagined them.

"At FilmLight we developed our core systems to provide real-time performance even when there is a multi-level grade on top of the raw image. Baselight takes away the technical constraints of transcoding, proxies and unpredictable performance and leaves the colourist to achieve the best look in the shortest time."

FilmLight will demonstrate its real-time, render-free grading approach using FilmLight's BLG interchange format at Broadcast India, on the stand of their partners, RED and Avid. The show is being held at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai, 15-17 October.
