Digital post production
- Our studios are equipped to work in 2K, 4K and 6K resolutions and we have editing rooms for 2D, 3D, RealD and XPAND productions.
Our secure digital network gives you access to our solutions all over the world. This network and our real-time technology connect all Technicolor sites, guaranteeing flexibility and efficiency for your projects, wherever you may be.
And our talented and experienced colourists, editors, assistant and project managers take great care to provide you with a unique postproduction experience.
Pre-production consultation
- Our team will offer you customized solutions from your project’s inception. We establish an efficient and economical workflow with you, taking your filming conditions, equipment, budget and broadcasting formats into consideration. Our goal is to ensure smooth, hassle-free production and post production.
Dailies
- Our secure network enables you to film anywhere in the world, transfer your data and view the dailies just a few hours later, wherever you are, in real time, on an iPad, iPhone, your laptop or on the web. Your data is then converted to the format of your choice in preparation for editing.
Our digital dailies management ensures optimal project efficiency and cost-effectiveness, while reducing data transfer between different devices.
Technicolor also guarantees the integrity of your productions and the security of your data, which will automatically be saved and stored on our secure server.
On-location services
- As part of our on-location services, we provide you with a data kit that includes DP Lights™—an exclusive Technicolor system that can be deployed as a pre-visualization, on-location colour correction tool that creates looks in real time during production. This gives you adjusted dailies from day one of editing. Our expert technicians are trained in Technicolor Colour Science and specialize in areas such as slow motion capture, 3D production, colour grading, and data management.
Our On-location Truck is a mobile colour correction studio providing a comfortable space that can be used as a studio, a viewing room and a meeting room for the production team.
Throughout your shoot, Technicolor engineers will be available to help you identify potential colour-related problems before they impact your budget. They can also offer fast and effective post production solutions to correct unforeseen issues that may have occurred during shooting.
