Boardwalk Empire

This is a segment of some restorative work I did for HBO's Boardwalk Empire. Original camera negatives were first re-scanned in 4k, then mattes were created for all foreground elements to remove the blue screen. Lastly, all foreground elements were color corrected and composited to match VFX backgrounds. All compositing was done using Autodesk Flame at Cineric in NYC. All film scanning was done using Cineric's liquid wet gate film scanning technology.

Split

This is a “day-for-night” shot I fixed for the 2016 feature film “Split” by Deborah Kampmeier. A standard grading approach to pull off the “day-for-night” shot did not work due to excessive light blooming around the actor’s face and body. To remove this problematic light blooming, I first created a map of the scene’s brightest values and then set those values to act as negative lighting values in a new negative light blooming pass. Then, to clean up any remaining edge artifacts, I tracked small light sources with negative exposure values to areas around the shoulders and face. Finally, I added a light source with rays and some atmospheric fog to bring the whole composite together and give it some added depth.
