The Pixel Farm and Cooke Optics announce collaboration
The Pixel Farm, a company focused on innovation in the field of high-end digital postproduction, and Cooke Optics Ltd, a premier manufacturer of precision lenses for the motion picture industry, have jointly announced a collaboration in which The Pixel Farm will develop its renowned PFTrack software to work in conjunction with in-camera data, acquired via Cooke’s revolutionary /i Technology.
This new technology will enable motion picture postproduction professionals to save numerous hours, and significant amounts of money, in postproduction.
The Pixel Farm and Cooke are working together to develop tools that are designed to be used throughout the entire production process and thus help the production community to further enhance its postproduction capabilities. This unique collaboration will also enable users of The Pixel Farm’s applications to further benefit from vital data such as this.
Michael Lancaster, Product Director, The Pixel Farm said: “As a developer of products for the post market we view it as our responsibility to try to alleviate the issues that teams face in the management of data within the entire production process. And Cooke has developed a product that can greatly help this process. Having accurate lens parameters for each frame of action makes some aspects of postproduction considerably easier as the operator is no longer dependent on the production team to pass forward that information – a process that can fall prey to human error. In essence, they should be able to easily work on many, many more shots of far greater complexity without the guess work.”
