“Our client was very happy and impressed when they were giving us their feedback. However, when they are happening simultaneously, you save so much time!” He continues, “These highly creative processes often take the most manhours. Since we are working with RAW files, the highest level of detailing remains with no data loss,” says Adolf Dsouza. Once the color grading is done, stills are sent to the visual effects and finishing department where they just apply them and deliver the final master. They are all working on the RAW camera files in full 4K and there is no need to pull the shots separately for visual effects. Once the project has started on our office’s shared network, our visual effects artist, compositors and rotoscoping artist start working on the ungraded timeline with the reference LUT (that was prepared during presentation pitch phase) while the colorist works on color grading the footage in the timeline. All projects enlist DaVinci Resolve 15’s collaboration workflow. With a staff strength of nine, every manhour needs to go into producing quality work. “RengeDragon Studios has three senior colorists, two compositors, four junior colorist and finishing artists. As we were the only production house and not an outsourced vendor for the Vaseline commercial, we chose to edit, color grade, sound design, create visual effects/composites and finally deliver using DaVinci Resolve 15,” says Adolf Dsouza, Director, RengeDragon Studio. “RengeDragon Studio was responsible for color grading all 63 commercials. The DaVinci Resolve 15 collaborative workflow dramatically speeds up post production because customers no longer need to import, export or translate projects between different software applications and work no longer needs to be conformed when changes are made. As part of the 63 commercials, RengeDragon used DaVinci Resolve 15, along with DaVinci Resolve Micro Panel, for color grading the new Vaseline Sun & Pollution Protection commercial campaign.ĭaVinci Resolve 15 was introduced at NAB 2018 in April and began shipping in August, 2018. Singapore – September 24, 2018 – Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve 15 was used to color grade 63 commercials in one month with the help of DaVinci Resolve 15’s collaboration workflow by RengeDragon Studio, an Indian boutique studio.
