Lights, Camera, Kids: Shooting a Childish Spot for T-Mobile on the Canon 5D - http://provideocoalition.com
As usual I used Steve Shaw’s Light Illusion gamma curves for the 5D and 7D. I much prefer these curves to any of the looks I get out of the 5D’s built-in curves. Those work in a pinch, but Steve’s curves really make the camera look its best.

Anatomy of a Spot: T-Mobile - http://provideocoalition.com
I used one of Steve Shaw’s Light Illusion gamma curves, probably #1. (Light Illusion curve #1 is great for low contrast situations as it adds a bit more “crunch” to the look. Curve #2 is better for high contrast situations as it flattens things out a bit. I haven’t found a use for curve #3. You can get all three, plus a new flatter log curve, for a very reasonable price at the Light Illusion website.)

I should point out that the reason I was able to push the footage around as much as I did has much to do with Steve Shaw’s excellent Canon 5D gamma curves.

The new advanced probe from X-Rite - the i1 Display Pro OEM version - is fully compatible with LightSpace CMS.

The i1 Display Pro is a new generation probe designed to measures all display technologies, from Projection to direct display. including LCD. LED, Plasma, etc.

Light Illusion adds to its its range of colour management tools with the announcement of FlashLight LUT Plugins for Nuke & Shake VFX systems.

For more information see the FlashLight page.

Light Illusion builds on its range of colour management tools with the announcement of MatchLight IMS.

For more information see the MatchLight IMS page.

Light Illusion builds a new DI facility at Annapurna Studios based around a Mistika 4K real-time DI system.

Mistika forms the heart of this new DI facility, and with it's unmatched real-time capabilities will enable Annapurna to turn around DI projects in the shortest time scales possible.

Additional Equipment includes Digitalprojection Cineo32 projector, Penta LCD monitor, OmniTek waveform display, and calibration via Light Illusion's LightSpace CMS with Hubble probe and full film profiling. film scanning via Cintel Ditto scanner, with full RED, Alexa, Phantom, etc., RAW data capability as standard within Mistika for all Digital Cinematography based projects.

For more information see the Press Release page.

Light Illusion adds new development to its Colour Management System, LightSpace CMS, with advances to display profiling options.

With the latest developments LightSpace CMS gains tools that make display management and profiling as simple and accurate as possible.

For more information see the LightSpace CMS page.

Light Illusion launches plug-ins for Assimilate Scratch and SGO Mistika to enable easy closed-loop calibration.

Light Illusion launches SpaceMan ICC - convert industry standard 3D LUTs into ICC profiles.

LUTs have become a standard part of any colour critical post-production workflow, especially where DI (Digital Intermediate) grading is performed. The problem many operations face is that many creative tools that are now used as part of an entire project’s workflow are not LUT capable, instead using computer and print industry ICC profiles for colour management.

The development of Light Illusion’s SpaceMan ICC management software allows creative systems based on ICC colour management to display images in an identical way to LUT based systems. Such compatible colour management enables software systems, such as Adobe® Photoshop® and After Effects®, as well as any other ICC compliant software packages, to be colour accurate when performing work in parallel with mainstream post-production systems.

For more information see the SpaceMan ICC pages.

LightSpace CMS has again been further developed to work with Photo Research's PR-655/670probe.

The Photo research PR-655/670 SpectraScan is the most widely used spectroradiometer in the world, ideal for all display systems, and works directly with LightSpace CMS.

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

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.

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

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.
