    LONDON --

    FilmLight is exhibiting a broad range of new functionality for the first time at IBC 2014 in Amsterdam (September 12-16), designed to seamlessly integrate with today’s evolving workflows. Daylight, the new near-set color grading tool, will be featured on the FilmLight stand (7.F31) alongside the latest product in the Baselight Editions range, Baselight for NUKE, and the latest release of Baselight–4.4m1.

    IBC 2014 sees the official launch of Daylight, the comprehensive solution for on-set and near-set production. Daylight is designed as a compact yet powerful grading decision tool to help DPs and directors establish looks and visualize what they have shot, on set or on location. FilmLight has shown early development versions before–a Baselight variant for dailies–and Daylight pushes the possibilities even further.

    “We’ve gathered some great feedback from our existing customers during the Daylight beta program,” said Martin Tlaskal, lead developer, FilmLight. “The version we’re showing at IBC has more sophisticated functionality to help our customers handle their end-to-end dailies workflow quickly and effectively.”

    Available to purchase in Q1 2015, Daylight encompasses a number of new features, including: AJA SDI output; shot filtering and sorting; HTML report generation; RED GPU decoding; media consolidation tools; multi-format deliverables; and, just like Baselight, support for the latest camera codecs.

    Baselight Editions provide color within professional editing and VFX packages and FilmLight will be showing the latest product in the Baselight Editions range–Baselight for NUKE. Product specialists from FilmLight and The Foundry will be on hand to demonstrate how the visual effects software can be even more productive when it incorporates the ability to interpret and modify fully-featured Baselight grades.

    Baselight 4.4, the latest release behind FilmLight’s high-end 4K grading and finishing system, includes a host of features that further enhance Baselight’s reputation as the one-stop finishing and output device.

    Baselight now includes Apple-certified ProRes, including support for the new ProRes 4444 XQ codec. And managing media is even easier with Baselight’s project consolidation feature, which means you can consolidate all the material used in a list of scenes to one location—with optional handles. New systems are ready to take on UltraHD monitoring too–and existing Generation IV and V systems can be easily upgraded.

    Baselight 4.4 also provides faster GPU decoding of RED camera files as part of the implementation of the RED SDK, as well as providing full support to work in high dynamic range color space using Dolby Vision.

    Baselight 4.4m1, previewing at IBC, includes: rationalized format handling to support today’s ever-increasing range of digital camera resolutions and frame rates; fully keyframeable variable speed handling (including optical flow retime and round tripping with FCP XML and AAF projects); a group of sophisticated tools to help users manage projects better; and a new CDL grade that, when combined with Baselight’s powerful generalized color spaces, brings accurate interpretation of CDL values.

    Martin Scorsese On “The Saints,” Faith In Filmmaking and His Next Movie

    Thursday, November 14, 2024

    When Martin Scorsese was a child growing up in New York's Little Italy, he would gaze up at the figures he saw around St. Patrick's Old Cathedral. "Who are these people? What is a saint?" Scorsese recalls. "The minute I walk out the door of the cathedral and I don't see any saints. I saw people trying to behave well within a world that was very primal and oppressed by organized crime. As a child, you wonder about the saints: Are they human?" For decades, Scorsese has pondered a project dedicated to the saints. Now, he's finally realized it in "Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints," an eight-part docudrama series debuting Sunday on Fox Nation, the streaming service from Fox News Media. The one-hour episodes, written by Kent Jones and directed by Elizabeth Chomko, each chronicle a saint: Joan of Arc, Francis of Assisi, John the Baptist, Thomas Becket, Mary Magdalene, Moses the Black, Sebastian and Maximillian Kolbe. Joan of Arc kicks off the series on Sunday, with three weekly installments to follow; the last four will stream closer to Easter next year. In naturalistic reenactments followed by brief Scorsese-led discussions with experts, "The Saints" emphasizes that, yes, the saints were very human. They were flawed, imperfect people, which, to Scorsese, only heightens their great sacrifices and gestures of compassion. The Polish priest Kolbe, for example, helped spread antisemitism before, during WWII, sheltering Jews and, ultimately, volunteering to die in the place of a man who had been condemned at Auschwitz. Scorsese, who turns 82 on Sunday, recently met for an interview not long after returning from a trip to his grandfather's hometown in Sicily. He was made an honorary citizen and the experience was still lingering in his mind. Remarks have... Read More
