"TORMENTED"

Principal photography on Tormented has just been completed. 4K London provided the cameras and on-set workflow, and the cameras performed faultlessly, including in some testing environments including two days of underwater photography. The images look fantastic and we are now entering the final editing stage.

"5th Execution"

4K London are providing the DIT and workflow solutions for "5th Executionr", a three-camera action feature film shooting for three months in St. Petersburg and Malaysia.

"TORMENTED"

4K London are about to start work on the Slingshot / BBC Films feature "Tormented". 4K London will be handling the editorial, workflow and post-production up to delivery of dpx files for grading. The film will be directed by 4K London's very own Jon Wright and edited by Matt Platts-Mills. Shooting starts at the beginning of August for 5 weeks.

New Clients

4K London have spent the last few months working hard for our new clients who include Gorgeous, HSI, IWC, ASD Lionheart and Static Films. We have delivered their commercials, pop promos and short films to a variety of formats including 2K data (for digital cinema projection), High Definition Video (for HD broadcast and Blu-Ray disc) and Digibeta (for TV broadcast). Samples and examples online in the near future... Watch this space!

Welcome Aboard

We want to welcome Nye Jones, our regular DIT - that's Digital Imaging Technician to the uninitiated - into the 4K London fold. If you hire our Red camera from ICE Film it's likely to be Nye who will be doing all the behind the scenes stuff on set; copying and backing up your rushes, reviewing takes on his Mac Book Pro and generally making sure the camera is set up to avoid post-production headaches further down the line.

"And Now, The End Is Near..."

Our camera tests are almost at an end; we have been shooting a wide variety of material and pushing the camera to its limits. Our conclusions, broadly speaking, are:

  • The Red One makes beautiful pictures.
  • With a good set of lenses it makes better images than 16mm film and High Definition Video cameras.
  • It's on a par with, if not superior to, the vastly more expensive Panavision Genesis and Arri D20
  • It's a serious rival for 35mm film.
  • Once you know the pitfalls to avoid, the workflow is relatively easy.

We think the camera is the proverbial "no-brainer" for low budget features and high end TV dramas.
