More Than 55 of the 2018 Fall Television and Streaming Series Rely on Blackmagic Design
Blackmagic
Design today announced that the company's production and post
products are being used to complete many of the fall 2018 season's new
and returning television shows and streaming series. More than 55 shows
rely on Blackmagic Design's digital film cameras; Fusion Studio visual
effects (VFX), compositing, 3D and motion graphics software; and DaVinci
Resolve Studio editing, color correction and digital audio software; as
well as its switchers, routers, monitors and capture and
playback devices.
Growing on the more than 40 fall TV shows announced in 2017, the 2018
shows, such as "Charmed," "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" and "The Big Bang (News - Alert)
Theory" join the hundreds of top shows created with Blackmagic
Design products.
DP Judd Overton relies on the URSA Mini Pro and Micro Cinema camera to
capture unique angles and provide additional coverage on "No Activity"
for CBS All Access. "I shoot a very cinematic look on a tight schedule,"
said Judd Overton, cinematographer for "No Activity." "I need to know my
camera has the latitude and flexibility I need. The URSA Mini Pro and
Micro Cinema Cameras are designed to work for post production and I know
they have the image quality I need for the show. I'm always eager to put
the Blackmagic cameras into play on a scene."
Los Angeles based InvisEffects relies on DaVinci Resolve for a number of
fall shows: "We use DaVinci Resolve almost every single day. It's
a vital part of our VFX workflow," said Mike Gaines, owner of
InvisEffects. "We use Resolve to conform and export hundreds of shots
every episode, and it has saved us many times, such as when we tried to
conform RED 8K to 4K and HD in a couple of different aspect ratios. It's
pretty incredible."
Hollywood based VFX studio Muse VFX depends on Fusion Studio for VFX
work and compositing on a wide range of shows. "Fusion Studio is a major
part of our pipeline," said John Gross, Founder and Creative Director of
Muse VFX. "It's a powerful creative tool with great flexibility and low
overhead. It easily competes with other node based compositing options
at a fraction of their cost."
