3D!

When Oprah Winfrey added 3DTV to her ultimate favorite things show during the holidays, we knew that 3DTV had become a reality and a serious home entertainment option. In addition, prices of the 3DTVs have dropped 35-40% in major markets and a current Nielsen consumer study revealed that out of 27,000 online consumers across 53 countries, 13% said they already own or will definitely purchase a 3DTV set in the next 12 months. An additional 15% said they "probably will" purchase a 3DTV. The number of 3D Blu-ray film titles available is still under 100 and we expect the filmmakers and distributors to be seriously investigating their 3D options.
FILMLOOK is now proud to offer Stereoscopic 3D Conversion and Feature Length 3D Animation. We will also be adding VFX that include compositing, set extension, particle, fluid and crowd generation, CG Creatures, as well as rotoscoping. FILMLOOK's objective is to expand into this new area of the industry and enable our clients to produce high quality content for a fairly modest budget.

FILMLOOK Media and Post has been doing business in the entertainment community for more than 20 years. Allen Kelly has been a part of the team for the last 18 years. In that time span, the industry's technology has changed and is continuing to morph as we move forward in 2011. FILMLOOK's vast array of projects covers the gamut from feature films, television sitcoms, documentaries, music videos, fashion and style projects as well as commercials and corporate messaging.
Allen has worked on a variety of network shows, features, and digital intermediate masters. His versatility allows FILMLOOK to offer its clients the best possible solutions, the widest range of looks, and the creative tools to achieve its goals timely and cost-efficiently. Allen can cut right to the heart of the matter and come up with the look producers are seeking.

"So many producers and editors are working on laptops and they are doing everything right there—editing, sound design, and music," Allen says. "But, we find what looks great on your laptop sometimes does not meet broadcast standards and a distributor may not find it acceptable. As part of FILMLOOK's da Vinci 2K color enhancement service, we can assure that your projects will adhere closely to standards established by major networks and motion picture studios. Remember, most viewers will be seeing your work in a home environment on television, not necessarily just on a PC or laptop."
A great example of FILMLOOK's versatility is the A&E series "Manhunters," now in its third season. FILMLOOK has been doing the color enhancement on "Manhunters" since the pilot episode. The reality show follows U.S. Marshals who have the authority to pursue federal criminals across the country and around the world. The post production challenges are enormous, as there are sometimes three different camera crews working simultaneously.

The post production challenges are enormous, as there are sometimes three different camera crews working simultaneously.
According to Allen, "The different cameras have different color balances, the exposures are also different and vary from full daylight to night time surveillance, since it's run-and-gun, guerilla-style reality television. Of course, we need to match up the look and bring a consistency to the series. These Marshals are on stake outs and the cameras become very grainy and visually noisy in low light—it is the opposite of color correcting polished, three-camera style sitcoms, which is what we also do."
Recent projects Allen has just completed at FILMLOOK include a Michael Stars' fashion shoot for Fashion TV. Check out the footage and see some gorgeous color work.
He also worked on the upcoming Alexandra Lipsitz documentary "Circus Kids," a poignant look at Palestinian and Israeli children in a traveling circus in Israel. "Circus Kids" is currently on the film festival circuit. Click here to see the trailer.
