Top Sundance Films and Series Created Using Blackmagic Design

Fremont, CA – January
29, 2019 – Blackmagic
Design today announced that more than 35 films, episodic series and projects at
the 2019 Sundance Film Festival were shot and completed using Blackmagic
Design products.

Blackmagic Design
congratulates the many projects selected for Sundance that were created with
its digital film cameras, Fusion Studio visual effects (VFX) and motion
graphics software, DaVinci Resolve professional editing, color grading, VFX and
audio post production software, and more. This includes “4 Feet:
Blind Date” composited with Fusion by Martin Lopez Funes of Malditomaus
and his team, and films such as “Native Son,” “The Infiltrators,” “Them That
Follow,” “Big Time Adolescence,” and many more that were graded and edited with
DaVinci Resolve Studio.

Lucien Harriot,
president of New York based Mechanism Digital, used Fusion Studio for his VFX
work on “Luce.” According to Harriot, “Some of the shots in ‘Luce’ were quite
challenging. For example, one particularly long shot orbited several times
around an actor standing in a high school lobby, and we had to remove the
camera crew’s reflections from all of the windows and trophy cases. Fusion
Studio’s tracking tools came in very handy on those tasks.”
