FilmLight’s Baselight Used to Grade Sony’s Hotel Transylvania

-

Sony Pictures Animation’s Hotel Transylvania
Hotel Transylvania, Sony Pictures Animation’s monster hit comedy went through final color grading and stereo finishing in full 3D on Baselight. Completed at Colorworks, Sony Pictures Entertainment’s digital intermediate facility, DI Colorist John Persichetti used Baselight to apply the finishing touches to the film prior to its worldwide release.

It was the second stereo 3D animated feature that Persichetti has graded on Baselight. He also graded Sony Pictures Animation’s 2009 animated feature Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, the first film finished at Colorworks.

Animation, lighting, effects and stereography for Hotel Transylvania were completed by Sony Pictures Imageworks, which then delivered high-resolution image files to Colorworks via direct fiber link for color grading and stereo finishing.

The task for Persichetti – who worked in collaboration with director Genndy Tartakovsky, visual effects supervisor Daniel Kramer and 3D stereoscopic supervisor Von Williams – was to ensure scene-to-scene consistency and to finesse details that only became apparent when the film was projected onto a big screen in Colorworks’ DI theatre.

“The majority of our work involved fine adjustments, making a character appear lighter or darker relative to the background, or adjusting the color of a face,” Persichetti said.
