Colourist, Eugene McCrystal, and DOP, Michael Lavelle, will discuss the grading process from shoot to edit this Saturday, October 3rd at Galway Film Centre.
Michael Lavelle I.S.C. is a Sundance award-winning cinematographer. (‘Undressing My Mother’ His & Hers’, ‘Patrick’s Day’). Eugene McCrystal has been working in the broadcast and film industry for 20 years. He is widely regarded as a systems expert with a genuine interest in industry development and he is the founder of Outer Limits Post Production (formerly EMC Post Production).
With the advent of digital cinema cameras and RAW workflows, modern cinema cameras can resemble a computer more than a film camera. For this reason, it’s important for DOPs to understand the post-production process particularly in relation to colour-grading. Knowing how much the image can be manipulated in post will help to guide DOPs as to what can and can’t be achieved on set and how far the camera can be pushed.
Through looking at projects they have worked on together, Michael and Eugene will cover:
Preparing for the shoot
Knowing your specifications for the shoot
How the Colourist and DOP work together
What can be achieved in Post
How to maximize the benefits of the digital workflow
The talk takes place this Saturday, October 3rd at 12pm, in Galway Film Centre, Wellpark Road. It’s €10/€15 to attend. To book a place, phone 091-770748 or email education@galwayfilmcentre.ie.
