Film Projects

Light Illusion has been involved in a wide range of digital "film" projects, from full Digital Intermediate features (both film and digital in acquisition) through trailers, commercials and promos, to VFX shots and title sequences.

The one overriding criteria has been the use of digital "film" technology rather than traditional film processing and editing or low resolution video post-production techniques.

For more information on the approach review the "Digital Intermediate" paper, link to the left (under Technical Papers).

The following is a sample of projects in which Light Illusion has been involved. For additional on the work performed for these projects, be it on-set supervision, DI / colourist operation, or post-production supervision, contact steve@lightillusion.com, or see Steve's IMDB entry here.

Recent DI Projects
  • Creeping Zero - Teaser

  • Creeping Zero is a Stereo 3D project supervised by UK and world renowned film post supervisor and producer Richard Lloyd, who came to Steve Shaw for assistance with the teaser that preceeds production on the full feature film. Steve helped Richard get to grips with the unique requirements of Stereoscopic workflows, from capture all the way through post-production.

    For information on Creeping Zero see the production company's Facebook page: Dan Films..

  • Five Day Shelter

  • 5DS Five Day Shelter is an Irish Indy production that decided to take advantage of the lower rates offered by performing the DI, vfx and lab processing and printing work in India, and Steve's experience working in India made Light Illusion the obvious choice as a partner to assist with the project, as well as having Steve perform the grading using the DI systems at Gemini Lab, Chennai.
  • Freight

  • Freight is a Red shot low budget film that used a very unique approach to DI by having the film post-produced in South India, with Steve working remotely from the production team, making much use of the internet to pass grading examples back and forth.
  • Ninaitathale Inikkum

  • Ninaitathale Inikkum is a film that elevated the grading look of film post-produced in South India, with Steve working closely with cinematographer Balasubramaniam, in conjunction with the film's Director GNR Kumaravelan. Look especially for the 'black & white' song, as it has come to be known.

  • Brighton Wok: The Legend of Ganja Boxing

  • This is an amazing low-budget film that was shot on just about every HD and video camera format you can imagine. A nightmare, but great fun to grade, with all DI grading performed by Steve Shaw at Axis Post on their Quantel Pablo.
  • Credo

  • This low budget Horror feature film is the first full feature from long-term associates of Light Illusion, Alto Films (see Daddy's Boy and Dark Communion). All camera kit was supplied by Axis Hire, with on-line post-production by Axis Post.
