Colorfront Offers Express Dailies

The first customers for Colorfront Express Dailies have been announced as Technicolor, Deluxe and Light Iron
Developer Colorfront is now shipping the high-performance on-set dailies system for commercials, motion picture and TV production.
Technicolor, Deluxe and Hollywood post facility Light Iron are among the first customers, all making multi-license purchases of Express Dailies.
Express Dailies is built on the leading image-science technology, color grading and management tools that feature in Colorfront’s renowned On-Set Dailies system, which is already widely used on major Hollywood features and primetime episodic TV shows.
Express Dailies meets the need for a compact, easy-to-use, high-performance on-set, look creation and data wrangling tool. It combines production-proven tools for file-based dailies work – including playback and sync, QC, color grading, audio and metadata management – with state-of-the-art color and image science.
Highlights include: support for Mac Pro tower and MacBook Pro with Retina Display; a streamlined user interface; 64-bit, realtime RAW support for the very latest digital cinema cameras; faster-than-realtime deliverables, with concurrent encoding to multiple formats; plus extremely fast, checksum-verified, data management and archival tools.
Among the first customers for Colorfront Express Dailes are Deluxe, Technicolor and Hollywood post-production facility Light Iron. Bill Romeo, Executive Vice President of Television for Deluxe recognized Colorfront Express Dailies as a valuable addition "in our arsenal, to support our clients’ needs."
Stated Technicolor's Dave Waters, "With Express Dailies, as with our original Global Dailies solution, Technicolor is finding Colorfront to be a great partner as we continue to expand our On Location Services to new markets. The entire Colorfront team's response to our needs and requests has been terrific. Having Colorfront as a partner is allowing us to be more innovative as Technicolor strives to modernize post-production pipeline efficiencies in this new era of file based cameras."
Michael Cioni, CEO of Light Iron, said: "Light Iron is proud to have collaborated with Colorfront's development team in the launch of Express Dailies, which, we believe, is the most robust on-set / near-set processing software on the market. We are excited to add Colorfront's Express Dailies to our fleet of OUTPOST and LILY PAD systems, which together will help accelerate the industry's trend toward on-set and near-set post production services."
