Known for its beautiful imagery and glamor, “Selling Sunset” recently premiered its sixth season on streaming platform Netflix. Featuring the daily drama at leading real estate agency The Oppenheim Group, the show features both the Los Angeles market and the luxurious lives of the agents and their affluent buyers.
To create the unique look for the show during season two, Co Executive Producer Joe Eckardt of Unbreakable Post and Colorist Aleks Ver relied on DaVinci Resolve Studio editing, grading, visual effects (VFX) and audio post production software for a wide range of tasks. Eckardt, who has been with the show since season one, wanted to develop a simplified post production process. “My goal was getting the show finished and delivered without having to go out of house to a third party vendor,” said Eckardt. “Netflix was incredibly supportive in allowing us to evolve our workflow in how we saw fit for our complex show needs and schedule.”
Once an episode was edited, Eckardt, who also provided online editing, would conform the project in DaVinci Resolve Studio and provide it to Ver for the grading pass. Also involved from season one, Ver has evolved the workflow to bring a more advanced and finished look to the show using the grade. “The first season was SDR only,” said Ver. “By the time we got to seasons four and five, we moved to Dolby Vision HDR, and we built our workflow in Resolve around ACEScct to handle the multiple camera formats we would receive, as well as to create a more efficient IMF delivery process.”
