Technicolor Takes Tulip
Fever Into Golden Age
T

echnicolor in London recently
completed the finishing on Tulip
Fever, a romantic period drama from
The Weinstein Company and directed
by Justin Chadwick.
As well as performing the grade,
conform and deliverables, JeanClément Soret, MPC's Global Creative
Director of Colour Grading, was also
responsible for completing the trailers.
The film was shot on Arri Alexa
cameras by cinematographer Eigil
Bryld, who wanted the film to have the
style of the Dutch Masters. The grade
evoked natural light, candlelight and
sunlight. Challenging scenes that were
originally shot for day ended up being
used for dusk, too, and this involved
extensive reworking to maintain
continuity.
"On some shots we reworked the
light adding vignettes and shapes,

changed
composition,
colour
temperature to keep a continuous flow
that was lost in the edit," explained
Soret.
"Fortunately [FilmLight's] Baselight
offers an intuitive way of interacting
and grading that, to me, has become
entirely natural and organic. A trained

eye might spot what I have done, but
if it's distracting for the audience it
means you've missed the point."
Tulip Fever, which stars Alicia
Vikander, Cara Delevingne, Christoph
Waltz and Dane DeHaan, is on release
in the USA.

S

olid State Logic has announced
System T - S300, a compact
broadcast
console
that
offers
"an outstanding combination of
performance and value" for a wide
range of broadcast installations and OB
vehicles.
The S300 is a fixed
layout compact control
surface that can be
combined
with
the
complete portfolio of SSL
System T network objects:
consoles, remote tiles, touchscreen
interfaces,
Tempest
Processing
Engines, remote PC software and
Network I/O.
It can be specified as part of a larger

System T installation or in stand-alone
configurations for smaller broadcast

Engine and runs the same software
as the larger S500 surface and TCR
(Tempest Control Rack).
System T uses AoIP as its core,
not simply as an edge connection.
Tempest Processing Engines include
direct AoIP interfaces allowing
commercial off the shelf switching
infrastructure.
Universal AoIP connections
reduce the overall system
design cost and improve
redundancy topologies.
AoIP connections for Tempest
Engines and all Network I/O
devices are capable of Dante,
AES67 and SMPTE 2110-30 using
the same hardware.
