Nucoda HD is integrated into LA and Australia On-Set to
\nFinal Color Workflow <\/strong><\/p>\n

Amsterdam, IBC, Stand 7.A23 \u2013 11th September 2009 \u2013Digital Vision, manufacturers of image enhancement and mastering systems for film and television post-production, has announced that Hollywood mini-studio Anschutz Film Group\/Walden Media has taken delivery of Digital Vision\u2019s Nucoda HD system. Digital Vision has worked closely with Walden to create a streamlined color pipeline from dailies to final delivery for their international productions. The two grading and one conform systems for Walden form the cornerstone of a complete production and post production workflow on \u201cThe Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader,\u201d one of the industry\u2019s first 100% digitally acquired, file-based feature projects. The Nucoda HD systems capture and utilize the American Society of Cinematographer\u2019s CDL (color decision list) metadata, and maintain it as a basis for grading throughout the project with Digital Vision\u2019s comprehensive toolset.<\/p>\n

Walden Media has produced several box office blockbusters. \u201cThe Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe,\u201d \u201cJourney to the Center of The Earth,\u201d \u201cBridge to Terabithia,\u201d and \u201cThe Water Horse,\u201d are a few high-profile theatrical titles in the AFG\/Walden Media library.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Doug Jones, Walden\u2019s EVP of Physical Production, Sean Santiago, VP Visual Effects and Jonas Thaler, VP Post Production designed a workflow for the third chapter in the Narnia series. The Director of Photography and On-Set Colorist create a look for each scene, which is expressed and documented as ten-digit ASC CDL value. In the Walden plan, the CDL grades follow the project from set to dailies to VFX and final DI color timing.<\/p>\n

When the Walden team was ready to discuss hardware and software solutions with which to implement the new \u201dDawn Treader\u201d workflow, they met with Simon Cuff, President and COO of Digital Vision. Digital Vision responded to the challenge and is currently developing an on-set grading solution based on the research and development that the two companies have done together. For Dawn Treader\u2019s Australia shoot, Digital Vision provided a modified Nucoda HD System that takes in and manages color choices from the set and keeps the salient metadata available to the colorist and visual effects through final DI color grading. Walden will use systems in Australia, UK and the US on upcoming features.<\/p>\n

Doug Jones of Walden commented that, \u201cWe and our filmmakers strive to make successful films with powerful and memorable visual content. Directors and cinematographers do their best work if they are given instant access to high resolution images and precise color and density control from day one through final delivery. After meeting in Los Angeles and London and getting to know Digital Vision\u2019s international development group and product line, we could see that the Nucoda HD system fit the bill. The efficiency of the ASC CDL color value system and the power and depth of Digital Vision\u2019s tools are the essence of our workflow. Our partnership with Digital Vision has evolved to the point where we\u2019d like to keep this going on future projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Simon Cuff, President and COO of Digital Vision, commented, \u201cWalden Media has a history of telling high quality stories with beautiful imagery created by top filmmakers. To work so closely with this team and this caliber of entertainment is exciting, and we are looking forward to Nucoda being part of that creative process, from the camera to the cinema screen. Walden\u2019s push forward in production, VFX and post production workflow has allowed us to accelerate the development and refine the functionality of our on-set and dailies solutions \u2013 ensuring this will become an essential part of the movie-making process.\u201d
