MSP 2011 Ski Feature – “Attack of La Niña”

September 22, 2011August 7, 2017

Baselight

The Colorado ski season is just around the corner, and I’m ready for the snow to fly after finishing color on Matchstick Productions’ “Attack of La Niña”. The feature was shot on location in Colorado, Alaska, British Columbia, Washington and California, during the 2010-2011 season, one of the snowiest in recent history. The MSP crew shot several formats, including RED, Panasonic AF100, Phantom, 16mm film and more. I cranked out the color work in a marathon two day Baselight session and delivered Apple ProRes HQ 422. The MSP edit team layed off the final master to HDCam for the movie tour. On Saturday, September 17th, the film premiered in two cities on the same night, two sold-out shows in Boulder, CO and Montreal, QC. I’ll be attending the Denver premiere tonight at The Gothic Theater. Tickets are still available, and as always, there will be plenty of ski-related giveaways. **the above trailer from MSP was cut prior to final color-grade… you’ll have to catch the movie tour to see the finished looks!

A rainy and snowy Colorado day won’t stop this year’s production. We started in the knee-deep powder at Loveland Ski Resort; moved on to gorgeous interiors in rainy Idaho Springs; and now we’re dancing with a cowboy at in the Highlands. CCT will shoot two commercials over the next two days in various front range locations for Rocky Mountain Health Plans. Theresa Wingert and Henry Lynk (Media Pantry) are shooting Canon 7D. I’m wrangling data and auditioning color grades in Baselight for Mac. Henry’s martini… not THE martini

Cameron Christopher Thomas Advertising recently recruited Walk the Line Films and Crosspoint to execute two new Boston Market spots. Walk the Line Films’ Director of Photography, Roger Sackett, shot all food footage on a Sony EX1 using a lens adapter to accommodate the use of film primes. The results are stunning and look remarkably close to film, at a fraction of the cost. From there, Crosspoint editor, Luke Bishop, integrated the Sony XDCAM with a graphical treatment created in Adobe After Effects and assembled the piece in Apple’s Final Cut Pro. The spots were then sent to colorist, Eric Anolin, to be graded in Filmlight’s Baselight ONE. The digital files effortlessly transferred between the two suites using XML and were conformed in Baselight for finishing in AVID DS. Donald Cosiglia added all the finishing touches, including 3D, to finish the spot. client | Boston Market agency | CCT Advertising production co | Walk the Line Films edit, graphics| Luke Bishop, Crosspoint color | Eric Anolin, Crosspoint finish edit, graphics | Donald Corsiglia, Crosspoint sound | Rocky Mountain Recorders
