Halo Colourist, Paul Koren says, “Magic of Disney’s The Animal Kingdom’, was a great and fun grade to undertake, especially when the quarantine descended upon us. The grade and reviews were all done remotely with a fully functioning grade suite at my house while a calibrated iPad Pro was sent with the grade to the clients for review and notes. The eight part show was to encapsulate all the colour and feel that Disney embodies so we played with the saturation and warmth while adding blues skies, glows and flares to help to bring out that Disney feeling“.
Series Director, Emma Jones said, “Halo provided fantastic support when we went into lockdown. Every member of staff went above and beyond in maintaining high quality production values. Special thanks to Charlotte Hawkins who was always available to sort everything out in a calm and professional manner.”
