SUNDANCE: POST LOGIC CONTRIBUTES TO THREE SUBMISSIONS
American Teen, directed and
written by Nanette Burstein, intimately captures the lives of four
teenagers in one small town in central Indiana through their senior
year of high school. The production team worked out of Post Logic
New York, using the facility’s Avid and Unity systems for the offline
edit, which involved cutting footage from multiple high definition and
standard definition formats. Color correction and final conform were
performed at Post Logic Hollywood, where colorist Kris Santa Cruz
worked closely with the film’s director and producers.
The Hollywood location also performed a complete 2K DI for Phoebe in Wonderland,
director/screenwriter Daniel Barnz’s story about a little girl
confounded by her clashes with a seemingly rule-obsessed world. The
project was shot on 35mm 3-perf film. Post Logic performed a 2K scan,
color correction, final conform and film out, with colorist Doug
Delaney working closely with Barnz to create the separate looks called
for in the script.
The film takes place in the fall, but was shot during the spring and
summer, so a color palette with an autumn feel was created. In
contrast, Phoebe’s inner “wonderland” is warm and hyper-real, with
super saturated vivid colors.
A third film - The Mysteries of Pittsburgh
– required end-to-end creative post services, ranging from on-set
effects supervision to final delivery. The feature is based on the
novel by Michael Chabon and chronicles the last true summer of Art
Bechstein's youth. In addition to on-set effects supervision, Post
Logic provided visual effects and DI services. The VFX effects team
handled sky replacements for weather continuity, compositing,
greenscreen, clean up, 3D camera tracking, rig removal, CG element
creation, digital matte painting and other stylistic effects for the
film.
