Blackmagic Design announced that “Every Thing Will Be Fine,” directed by legendary German director Wim Wenders and starring James Franco, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Rachel McAdams, has been graded on DaVinci Resolve at Arri Film & TV Services Berlin by colourist Philipp Orgassa.
The film, which focuses on a novelist who accidentally knocks down and kills a child, is shot in 3D in order to produce a magnifying effect that draws out the emotions of grief and trauma felt by the protagonists. This is Wenders’ first dramatic production in 3D, following his Oscar nominated dance documentary “Pina” and the “Cathedrals of Culture” architecture series.
Philipp immediately faced the challenge of handling rich contrast and visual elements within a stereoscopic production environment. “As with many of Wim’s films, color plays a hugely significant role within the film’s narrative, however as soon as you put on the 3D glasses, the range in light is diminished,” explains Philipp. “Pushing up the contrast can risk details being blown out, so we had to use a lot of tricks to keep the vibrancy that DoP Benoît Debie had captured on set. We used Resolve’s noise reduction throughout the grade, which helped us to produce a very rich contrast in 3D . We worked wearing 3D glasses in the grading theater to ensure the depth and emotional connection that Wim wanted from the stereo effects remained intact.”
