    LONDON --

    French colorist Mathieu Caplanne has joined Electic Theatre Collective’s London color department. As the studio continues to expand, Caplanne joins for exclusive representation in the UK, alongside Jason Wallis and Lewis Crossfield, who are at the helm of the award-winning color department.

    Caplanne has been lending his artistic vision to critically acclaimed music and advertising projects over past 10 years. His work on the music video for Jamie xx’s haunting track “Gosh,” directed by Romain Gavras, won best color grade at the 2016 UKMVAS. The trophy was well-earned, as Caplanne’s palette serves to further draw the viewer into the eerily desolate backdrop of Tianducheng, China.
     
    More recently, he graded “Territory” for The Blaze, which picked up best international dance video at this year’s UKMVAS and gold for best cinematography at Ciclope Festival. He has collaborated with many prolific directors such as Gustav Johansson, François Rousselet, Martin Werner, and CANADA on their recent Beck music video “Up All Night.” In the commercial space, Mathieu has worked with prominent brands such as Nike, Adidas, Yves Saint Laurent, Dior and Renault.
     
    “We are so excited to be representing Mathieu at Electric,” said executive producer and Partner Lee Pavey. “It’s in our DNA to hire the most talented people possible and we feel we have done this yet again with him joining our team. His work on high-end projects like Nike’s ‘Da Da Ding’ spot directed by François Rousselet and the Jamie xx video just showcases what a fantastic creative talent he is, and we can’t wait to make magic together.”

    Electric Theatre Collective is a post house that produces visual effects for a notable roster of clients. With studios in London and Los Angeles, Electric Theatre Collective houses talent across various disciplines of visual creativity, CGI, 2D, animation, and color grading.




    Apple and Google Face UK Investigation Into Mobile Browser Dominance

    Saturday, November 23, 2024

    Apple and Google aren't giving consumers a genuine choice of mobile web browsers, a British watchdog said Friday in a report that recommends they face an investigation under new U.K. digital rules taking effect next year.

    The Competition and Markets Authority took aim at Apple, saying the iPhone maker's tactics hold back innovation by stopping rivals from giving users new features like faster webpage loading. Apple does this by restricting progressive web apps, which don't need to be downloaded from an app store and aren't subject to app store commissions, the report said.

    "This technology is not able to fully take off on iOS devices," the watchdog said in a provisional report on its investigation into mobile browsers that it opened after an initial study concluded that Apple and Google effectively have a chokehold on "mobile ecosystems."

    The CMA's report also found that Apple and Google manipulate the choices given to mobile phone users to make their own browsers "the clearest or easiest option."

    And it said that the a revenue-sharing deal between the two U.S. Big Tech companies "significantly reduces their financial incentives" to compete in mobile browsers on Apple's iOS operating system for iPhones.

    Both companies said they will "engage constructively" with the CMA.

    Apple said it disagreed with the findings and said it was concerned that the recommendations would undermine user privacy and security.

    Google said the openness of its Android mobile operating system "has helped to expand choice, reduce prices and democratize access to smartphones and apps" and that it's "committed to open platforms that empower consumers."

    It's the latest move by regulators on both sides of the Atlantic to crack down on the... Read More
