Grading Short Film

Grading short film for Peter Blach

Grading for a short film called “Squash”, Directed by Peter Blach. The film did well at the Leeds International Film Festival.

Description:

  • Much of the footage was originally shot with grading treatments in mind, therefore a lot of the footage was lacking contrast.
  • Particularly difficult was bringing up orange skin tones while retaining some of the turquoise colour cast of the changing room.
  • The director was looking to clean up the dirty wall in the squash court which was achieved by complex keying of every cut.
  • The final film look was achieved by using a superior deinterlacing tool.

Hardware/software used:

Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, Fields Kit Deinterlacer
