Blackmagic Design today announced that Brazilian based post production house Afinal Filmes has taken the next step in its archival documentary restoration initiatives by integrating the Blackmagic Cintel Film Scanner into its workflow.
Afinal Filmes is known for its post work on a number of award winning documentaries, particularly for its skills in film restoration. In addition to Nelson Pereira dos Santos, its portfolio includes collaborations with renowned directors including Walter Salles, Eduardo Coutinho, João Salles, Eduardo Escorel, Miguel Faria Jr. and Silvio Da-rin. The post house counts on a streamlined restoration workflow to manage its myriad of archival footage, and the addition of Cintel was vital to its future success and growth.
“We had been using telecine to digitalize our films, but the quality suffered during the transfer and ideally we needed RAW files to truly correct the footage. With this knowledge, our search began for a film scanner that would deliver the quality we desired with realtime performance and of course without breaking our budget,” said Marcelo Pedrazzi, CEO at Afinal Filmes. “When Blackmagic released the Cintel, we found that it was not only a high quality scanner, but also a scanner that could work in realtime, which we had not found anywhere else. It was exactly what we were looking for.”
