Blackmagic Design today announced that the newest chapter in the “Alien” franchise, “Alien: Romulus” was graded in DaVinci Resolve Studio editing, grading, visual effects (VFX) and audio post production software.
While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonists come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe. Directed by Fede Alvarez (“Don’t Breathe,” “Evil Dead”), with cinematography by Galo Olivares (“Roma,” “Gretel and Hansel”), The film was graded by colorist Mitch Paulson while he was at Company 3. He is now a senior colorist at Picture Shop, based in Hollywood.
Paulson had worked with both Alvarez and Olivares before but on separate films and was excited to see the combination of their talents on “Alien: Romulus.” Early conversations helped inform the visual style of the project with a strong interest in using the original movies as a driving force. “Fede wanted to take stills from our movie, put them up on a wall with stills of ‘Alien’ and ‘Aliens,’ and have them all blend together,” said Paulson. “We looked at a lot of stills from both films to reference colors. We also had a custom grain created to help match the look even closer.”
