Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve Selected For 'X-Men' Dailies

Blackmagic Design's DaVinci Resolve has been used by EC3 dailies colourist Adrian DeLude for near set dailies grading on the new comic book blockbuster 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'.

DeLude worked closely with Sigel out of one of EC3's trailers, a near set mobile grading theater outfitted with a projection room and full set of colour grading tools. For 'Days of Future Past', DaVinci Resolve was chosen for use in the trailer, where Sigel and DeLude created a dailies grade involving complex keys and secondary corrections.
"It’s very rare to do so many secondaries in dailies," DeLude explained. "We did it so close to the set that Tom [Sigel] could walk over and supervise at lunch and after wrap. And we did a lot of it in 3D!"
Colourist Stephen Nakamura, who has done the DI grade on almost every feature Sigel completed digitally, also used DaVinci Resolve for the final DI grade of the film at Deluxe’s Company 3 facility in Santa Monica.
According to Nakamura: "The dailies were a great guide for us, and I think his work with Adrian really helped Tom develop his ideas so that by the time we got to the DI theater, the process went very smoothly."
