michael brierley Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Our local Kodak rep in South Africa gave a lot of us local DP's a months free trial with the system. It is a pretty amazing tool to have acsess to. For example, at the time, I was in prep to shoot a commercial for a Swedish bread company, and the wheat field we were using as a location looked really grey and forlorn to the eye. The field was 'bought' by the production company and was a couple of weeks past it's harvest time. Obviously we were all a little concerned. Took a couple of pics of the location on a scout, put them in to my laptop, mixed up a 'recipe' and viola- I was able to show them, with the help of a couple of filters, (I think a Coral 2 or 3, and 1 stop push on 100 ASA), 'golden' wheatfields. (unfortunately, on day we shot it was grey and overcast, Sods Law). I would speak to your local Kodak rep and ask him or her about a free trial. The downside to the KLMS is that the post house you use, also has to have the system in place, you have to sync your computer monitor to theirs, or vice a versa (so they know what you are aiming at) and the files you send are quite large (a drag with a regular land line). But other than those minor downsides, it is a really good previsualisation tool, and alleviates a lot of stress for yourself, the director and the producers, because they can see exactly what they are going to get. mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic Case Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I see that DMuench is on the Gold Coast (Queensland). The Kodak rep there would be Lee Christiansen. There are several KLMS systems either in use or being trialled in Australia at the moment: but it's not just a matter of downloading a bit of software. For it to work, you must have the correct digital still camera, correctly calibrated, and also a properly calibrated monitor. You also need to establish a relationship with the facility that you will send the images and recipes to (lab or telecine house), so that they are seeing the same as you.
