Finally after 12 months of hard work and 1000 hours in the post, all around sacrifice, my first sequel of film, 35min long is coming for the private screening at the local theatre on 26th March, this Tuesday (The Backlot, Perth).
It has been graded in Resolve 18.6.5 and also I have in Resolve successfully created my first DCP, it passed QC at the first attempt, in fact I was so nervous, I created 3 variations of DCP's and had 3 USB drives just in case there is different server requirements, IOP, SMPTE and also variation of SMPTE with different surround sound config.
Proud of this project, it is my next step up in cinematography, after many years learning and researching new tech and cameras, lighting...
Not sure how far this will go and where the film will end up as I just about missed all major film festivals this year by the time I got to the end, but surely was great learning experience.'
Film utilises combination of ICVFX / UE volumes / VP tech, green and blue screen as well as some of the licensed footage was used from the stock library.
One exciting catch that may interest some here, it is in fact graded with the latest ARRI REVEAL science logC4 debayered from LogC3 2.8k ALEXA footage inside the Resolve 18.6
In this first sequel due to really dark Neo-Noir themes as well as really challenging green and blue screen keying where I left many talent underexposed partially, against projected backgrounds, I opted to shoot ARRIRAW and also I keyed all in ARRIRAW and graded in LogC4 Colour space before all graded footage was rendered and upscaled to 4k DNHR 444 for the final cut, sound is also delivered in 5.1 surround sound and mixed and processed in the Fairlight, inside the Resolve.

In my 2nd sequel that is coming I will be utilising BMCC and Pocket OG cameras for lots of run and gun scenes...
This poster is made from the single video frame, which was even downscaled to 2K...
Final delivery format is DCP 2K DCI Flat 1.85
