LightSpace CMS has been further developed to work with the Minolta CS-200 probe.

The Minolta CS-200 colourimeter is a high-end probe designed to measures all luminous display technologies, from Projection to direct display.

For more information see the Colour Measurement & Automated LUT Building page.

“And They’re Off” has been captured by Ulf Soderqvist predominantly using Canon’s 5D and 7D cameras, enhanced by the use of Light Illusion designed Gamma Curves aim at maximising the capture capabilities of these ostensibly ‘stills’ cameras.

Fellow US based DoP Art Adams adds, “I've shot two 7D projects, one with the Light Illusion curves and one without. I've seen the difference, and from now on I won't shoot a 5D or 7D project without them!"

For more information see the Press Releases page.
And for information on the actual curves see the Canon Curves page.

Light Illusion launches the latest development in its Colour Management System, LightSpace CMS, with advanced LUT management, profiling and profile management tools.

With the latest development the Light Illusion Colour Management System gains the tools required to generate LUTs from full display and film profiling, making LUT building a fully automated process.

For more information see the LightSpace CMS page.

The Light Illusion LightSpace CMS program has been yet further developed to work with the Klein K-10 probe.

The Klein K-10 probe is specifically designed for LCD displays, but can measures all luminous display technologies, such as Plasma, LED & OLED, CRT's, FED's, etc.

For more information see the Colour Measurement & Automated LUT Building page.

To help generate the necessary LUTs for film calibration Light Illusion now provides a custom film profiling service that helps make sure your DI workflow is correctly calibrated.

Custom film profiles takes into account the full film path, including film recorder, film stocks, and film processing Lab, creating an accurate profile of how the final images are presented when the film print is projected.

Film profiles can be generated for different industry LUT Calibration systems, not just the LightSpace CMS, including TrueLight™ and CineSpace™.

Additionally, for those companies looking to take full control of their own profiling the equipment used to measure the film profile strips can be purchased outright.

For more information please see the Film Profiling page.

LightSpace CMS has been further developed to work with the i1 Display range of probes from X-Rite.

The i1 Display range of probes provide a cost-effective alternative to the Hubble for applications where calibration is not critical enough to demand the use of a Hubble - vfx workstation monitors for example.

Light Illusion is very happy to announce the launch of its new consultancy operation, Light Illusion India, providing technical, logistical and creative assistance for digital film operations throughout the Indian film industry, as well as direct support for SGO's Mistika DI system. The consultancy's co-founder and partner, Sundeep Reddy, has already been working alongside Steve Shaw over the last 12 months.

With years of experience in the film and digital industries Sundeep Reddy spearheads Light Illusion India, and is Light Illusion's world-renowned technical and creative digital film support to existing and up-coming Indian film post and production operations. The focus is on building high-end DI facilities with state-of-the-art technology and workflows, combined with the best creative capabilities. The consultancy operation includes a focus on the growing 3D stereoscopic market, where Light Illusion already has considerable experience.

For more information see the Press Releases page.

Light Illusion's Steve Shaw has for a long time espoused the benefits of using DI systems that provide more than just Colour Correction tools, preferring systems with a wide range of capabilities aimed at enabling a centralised, rather than distributed, approach to DI workflows.

Recent advances in off-the-shelf PC systems, GPU processing, and storage hardware, combined with some unique software developments and ground breaking creative tools, has enabled European based manufacturer SGO to bring its Mistika DI post-production system to the forefront of the DI market, and Light Illusion is proud to have been asked to provide consulting services to SGO to assist in managing the world-wide interest that Mistika is gaining.
