Blackmagic Design today announced that its professional editing and grading software DaVinci Resolve Studio and DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel were used by Beijing based Homeboy Digital Film Laboratory for color grading and finishing “Free and Easy,” the only Chinese feature film selected for the World Cinema Dramatic Competition of the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.
Directed by Chinese director Jun Geng, “Free and Easy” is a criminal comedy film where a traveling soap salesman arrives in a desolate Chinese town, a crime occurs and sets the strange residents against each other with tragicomic results.
Homeboy Cine Studio’s colorist Li Wentao was tasked with giving the film a powerful but also exquisite look. For grading, he used the DCI－P3 Kodak 2383 Print LUT that comes with DaVinci Resolve Studio, through which he quickly established a cinematic look. “The DP wanted to reduce the LUT’s bias towards orange/teal as the grading went on. However, Resolve’s curves and the color temperature and tint tools enabled me to do the tweaks to achieve the DP’s vision,” he said.
