About this Event

Colour grading – backed-up by colour science – is a central aspect of the motion picture industry. The international colour scientist Charles Poynton presents a workshop that covers some of the deep fundamentals, and some important current topics, in colour science for film production.

By “film” we mean both photochemical film and digital film: Classic photochemical film is enjoying a resurgence, and in any event, the colour processes of film have set the cultural expectations of what a movie looks like. By “movie” we include theatrical motion pictures, but also streaming programming where a cinematic look is desired.

In this workshop, Charles Poynton will explain in detail camera technology and camera image coding. He will describe the “pipeline” of post-production and mastering, including the all-important scene rendering transform, and show how and where art is introduced using illustrative examples. The radiometric (linear-light) internals of modern grading systems such as Baselight and DaVinci Resolve will be explained.

The focus is also on the colour pipeline: To this end, the key aspects will be discussed – acquisition colour space, grading space, and various mastering and distribution spaces, particularly the DCI X’Y’Z’ scheme, with its standard DCI P3 primaries, and commercial HDR distribution schemes including HDR10, HLG, and ICtCp-based Dolby Vision.

We will explain why BT.2020 primaries are not directly suitable for mastering or presentation. They will also introduce emerging modern post-production systems such as ACES 2.0 and OpenColorIO 2.0 and present recent developments in colour appearance models (CAMs).

Toronto-based display calibrator Mike Osadčiw will assist in demonstrating and capturing some measurements from four display devices using diverse technologies: a 4K laser projector, a Sony BVM-X300 RGB OLED, a Sony BVM-HX3110 dual-cell LCD, and a Flanders XMP-310 QD-OLED (courtesy of FrameDiscreet).
