I have seen a huge change from when I started grading in 1988 to 2013. This is a little light hearted look and the differences over a 10 year period.<\/p>\n
2003 [Client] I have always wanted to be in one of these rooms, isn\u2019t that machine a million dollars?<\/p>\n
2013 [Client] Is this software free now?<\/p>\n
2003 [Colorist] Look at the selection in the booze cupboard, take your pick?<\/p>\n
2013 [Colorist] Can you pick up a couple of coffees on your way in as we don\u2019t have a client service person.<\/p>\n
2003 [Colorist] Are we transferring to D1 tape?<\/p>\n
2013 [Colorist] Are we just making an H.264 IPAD version?<\/p>\n
2003 [Colorist] How many weeks were you shooting this TVC?<\/p>\n
2013 [Colorist] How many ads did you shoot in one day?<\/p>\n
2003 and 2013 [Client question] Can we see the double head?<\/p>\n
2003 [Colorist answer] Sure, do you want to see it on the Sony CRT<\/p>\n
2003 [Colorist] We have 90 camera rolls, that\u2019s 30 lab rolls, our runner is bringing them up in the lift<\/p>\n
2013 [Colorist] Is all your footage on this $99 USB drive, any backup?<\/p>\n
2003 [Client] Does the Spirit have 1 or 2 windows?<\/p>\n
Note (clients often thought it was the Spirit telecine that had the windows)<\/em><\/p>\n 2013 [Colorist answer] Unlimited window shapes all tracking<\/p>\n 2003 and 2013 [Client question] Can you defocus the invert of the key?<\/p>\n 2003 [Colorist answer] No, this version of software doesn\u2019t have that feature (Colorist doesn’t know how to do it)<\/p>\n 2003 [Client reply] Oh, ok no worries.(Client certainly doesn’t know if the machine can or cannot do it)<\/p>\n 2013 [Colorist answer] No, this version of software doesn\u2019t have that feature.<\/p>\n 2013 [Client reply] Yes it does, I used that function on my laptop last night, I can show you now, shift over!!<\/p>\n 2003 [Client] Can you turn the DVNR up, touch of film grain in that 7298?<\/p>\n 2013 [Client] Can you add some film grain into this footage?<\/p>\n 2003 [Colorist] I\u2019ll have to call the telecine engineer.<\/p>\n 2013 [Colorist] I think I saw something about this problem on a forum last week<\/p>\n 2003 [Client] Are we grading on a Pogle or da-vinci?<\/p>\n 2013 [Client] What system are we using? There are so many I\u2019ve lost touch.<\/p>\n 2003 [Client] Film has got another 20 years, tape is a long way behind.<\/p>\n 2013 [Client] We wanted to shoot film but couldn\u2019t find a Lab close enough!<\/p>\n 2003 [Colorist] We\u2019ll need to do a separate grading pass for the car, the bonnet, the talent, the highlights and a plate pass for the background.<\/p>\n 2013 [Colorist] I can fix it in one pass.<\/p>\n 2003 [Colorist] Shall we eat out or go to the company kitchen?<\/p>\n 2013 [Colorist] I can make you a sandwich<\/p>\n [Client Question] Can we see the cut with all the grades applied, with sound?<\/p>\n 2003 [Colorist] I can\u2019t show you now, I need to transfer all the selected takes. Can you wait for the Flame session tomorrow?<\/p>\n 2013 [Colorist] Yes, here you go.<\/p>\n 2003 [Client] Can you record some film spooling very fast from the TK machine? It looks great.<\/p>\n 2013 [Client] I am going to key some of that film spooling stuff, got some on an old Digibeta that a Colorist recorded for me back in 2003, looks great.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have seen a huge change from when I started grading in 1988 to 2013.
