FOCUSING ON FILMLOOK AND DA VINCI-- "THE MASTERS OF COLOR CORRECTION"

FILMLOOK Inc. is constantly seeking new ways to enhance our reputation as the originators of the finest real-time film simulation process available for broadcast and video production. For over 12 years the name FILMLOOK® has been synonymous with the highest standards, unparalleled customer service and uncommon attention to details. With these attributes in mind, FILMLOOK Inc. is now pleased to offer the DaVinci 2K color enhancement system from DaVinci Systems inc. to our current list of services.

The DaVinci 2K is capable of very high end color enhancement and correction on video originated projects. FILMLOOK Inc.'s DaVinci 2K is optimized with the tools and enhancement capabilities most sought after by producers of movies for television, series, documentaries -- as well as music videos and commercials. These tools include primary and secondary color correction; Super Kilovectors and Power Windows to give our colorists absolute precision over different color and luminance parameters within a scene; Custom Curves for specialized gamma adjustment; and (saving the best for last) Defocus. The Defocus feature can simulate varying depth of field and applies popular soft light and glow effects. With this combination of controls, you can simulate the look of different types of diffusion and filtration. These powerful tools will certainly open the door to a new world of image adjustment and enhancement for your video project.

Although it is being offered as a separate service from our legendary FILMLOOK® processing, DaVinci 2K will undoubtedly be an attractive option for certain FILMLOOKed projects that require additional image enhancement and adjustment. DaVinci 2K is also capable of enhancing video-only projects, as well as shows and film elements that have been telecined already to video and require additional color enhancement. FILMLOOK Inc.'s DaVinci 2K is presently configured for standard definition; however, it will be upgraded to HD capability in the very near future.

Our colorists currently have over 15 years of combined FILMLOOK® processing experience in giving video productions the rich look, color and texture of film originated projects.

With this in mind, imagine the intriguing possibilities when DaVinci 2K color enhancement is added to FILMLOOK® processing.
