Following the life and boxing career of Heavyweight Champion George Foreman (Khris Davis), feature film “Big George Foreman,” directed by George Tillman, Jr., brings the audience through the decades of Foreman’s life starting with his first fights in the 1960s. The new film follows Foreman’s ups and downs in and out of the ring, as he becomes an Olympic gold medalist, an ordained minister, and the oldest heavyweight champion of all time.
Senior Colorist Siggy Ferstl of Company 3 helped bring the true story to life by working with Tillman and Cinematographer John Matysiak to develop period looks that aided in distinguishing the different decades and fights of Foreman’s life, while balancing the overall story with a distinct, harmonious look that provided consistency throughout the film.
Ferstl’s tool of choice is DaVinci Resolve Studio. “We used Resolve’s magic mask for object isolation and tracking, which simplified the process of selecting individual characters and separating foregrounds and backgrounds for different types of corrections in the fight scenes,” said Ferstl.
