FilmLight and Kodak align efforts in digital colour management

FilmLight and Kodak have announced a collaborative agreement in the area of colour management for the feature film industry.
When the production industry views digital images intended for release on film, both companies have extensive and complementary solutions, known as Truelight and KODAK Display Manager, respectively, that offer best-in-class colour calibration technology.
The post-production phase of a film project uses digital images in a variety of environments and viewing conditions – from the location shoot to the edit system and finally in a colour grading suite. This workflow involves assessing sequences on CRT monitors, flat screen displays and digital projectors. Hence the need for colour management technology to ensure that the users of these systems are seeing consistent and accurate colours, and the look that will finally appear on film.
Wolfgang Lempp, director at FilmLight, said: “Kodak and FilmLight have been addressing different areas of the film production process. By working together where our respective systems overlap we hope to expand the range of solutions that apply to the production pipeline, from camera to release print.”
