IRIDAS Launches SpeedGrade OnSet 2006
IRIDAS, the industry leader in non-destructive
color grading technologies, today announced the release of SpeedGrade OnSet
2006, a filmmakers' application for creating and communicating creative
looks. The new version introduces a more streamlined grading workflow and a
function for exporting Look-Up Tables (LUTs) for use in other display and DI
systems.
SpeedGrade OnSet 2006 works on still-frame images and runs on off-the-shelf
Mac and Windows laptops. The application does not alter the original images
and saves gradings as .Look files which can be copied, edited, and re-used.
The .Look file format is standard across all SpeedGrade applications
providing a complete color workflow from cinematographer to colorist.
SpeedGrade .Looks can also be loaded in FrameCycler applications for color
graded rushes and digital dailies.
"With SpeedGrade OnSet, I have a simple tool for establishing the looks we want during preproduction," said cinematographer Caroline Brandes of Luminist Films. "Then I use the looks to review shots with my director during production and into post, refining them when we need to."
Third party products, including the Cinemage Intelligent Display monitors from Cine-Tal and the new digital camera systems from Silicon Imaging can load .Look files in their native format. In addition, SpeedGrade OnSet's new export functionality allows .Looks to be exported as 1D and 3D LUTs for use with a variety of other systems.
"I use SpeedGrade Onset with the Cine-tal monitor and the LUTher box." said Dave Stump, ASC, who used SpeedGrade OnSet most recently on What Love Is and Killer Pad. "It's great: all I have to do is generate the .Look and it's 'plug and play' from then on! SpeedGrade OnSet closes the color loop for me."
"SpeedGrade OnSet allows me to work with FilmStream and HDStream to demonstrate the broad latitude of those mediums and their potential for the final look of a production," said George C. Palmer, a Las Vegas-based Digital Imaging Engineer. "It makes the new medium more comfortable for the creative people."
