Chapter 1.5: Academy Color Encoding System (ACES) - Chris Brejon

Introduction - RxDocs - Gestion des couleurs. I - Liste d'espaces colorimétriques - RxDocs - Gestion des couleurs. Rencontre avec le laboratoire Hiventy. Pour ce nouvel entretien-fleuve consacré aux métiers de la restauration de films, nous avons retrouvé Audrey Birrien qui, après quelques années passés chez Eclair, travaille désormais pour le laboratoire Hiventy, en charge des restaurations de patrimoine.

Rencontre avec le laboratoire Hiventy

Elle est accompagnée de Jérôme Bigueur, l'un des étalonneurs-maison qui nous explique le déroulement de son travail, parle du HDR et en profite, au gré d'anecdotes sur des projets passés et à venir, pour nous éclairer sur quelques croyances tenaces sur son métier. Une conversation qui pourra s'aventurer brièvement dans les détails complexes de la technique (nous avons essayé d'expliquer au mieux certains acronymes réservés aux initiés) mais qui se révèle au final passionnante sur les difficultés et les enjeux de la restauration de films en 2021... Audrey Birrien : Nous nous posons tellement de questions sur ces réadaptations en HDR qu'il nous a semblé intéressant de partager nos connaissances acquises sur les dernières années. LightSpace. Display Brightness Variations One of the biggest issues, specifically with PQ based HDR although HLG can be affected too, is screen brightness/luminance variations, due to a range of associated problems with the way HDR works on most displays.

The basic issue is HDR can 'change' the screen/image brightness/luminance in ways that cause fundamental variations in the viewed image, potentially in ways that distort the original artistic intent of the graded footage, as defined by the film's director and colourist. Films made for Netflix look more like TV shows — here's the technical reason why. The history of cinema as an art parallels its history as a technology.

Films made for Netflix look more like TV shows — here's the technical reason why

Ever wondered why the colour in The Wizard of Oz is so saturated? Well, it wasn’t the first technicolor film, but it was the first to effectively advertise MGM’s new 3-strip colour process to a global audience. Why advertise something at half mast? This kind of technological innovation in cinema is, of course, spurred by economic motives. Meet The Colourist.

They’ve recently graded four movies that screened at Cannes this year, all finished on Baselight at different facilities. Youtube. Linear Light, Gamma, and ACES — Prolost. The DSLR, even in sRGB JPEG mode, holds detail in the gray card at 3+ stops of overexposure in this case.

Linear Light, Gamma, and ACES — Prolost

This is because when Canon says these JPEGs are “sRGB,” that defines their correct profile for display, but not necessarily their exact encoding. The encoding profile — the color adjustments and tone curve used to convert the linear raw sensor data to a viewable image — may be based on the sRGB curve, but it has some subjectivity baked into it; likely a little bit of s-curve contrast, and some highlight rolloff. And that’s with the “Standard” Picture Profile, sRGB, and JPEG — likely the least dynamic range this camera would ever present. Signal Ranges, Clipping, and 3D LUTs. Settings for signal ranges always loom as a source of imaging issues, especially when images are converted from RGB to Y’CbCr and back for applying 3D LUTs.

Signal Ranges, Clipping, and 3D LUTs

In this article, we want to give an overview of where these topics are relevant on set and how to make sure that signal and device configurations match. RGB and Y’CbCr Encoding To reproduce an image for the human observer, almost the entirety of the imaging equipment used in media production relies on two “tricks” for encoding the spectral information of a physical scene: The first trick is to subdivide the image into rectangular (typically squared) pixels. These are the smallest elements of an image, and each pixel carries the information of its color.The second trick is to encode that color with just three numbers, typically named “red” (R), “green” (G), and “blue” (B).

From the old days of analog TV, we inherited the “YUV” image encoding – with the Y’CbCr format being the variant for digital images. Metadata Journey in the Pomfort Ecosystem and Beyond – Part 3.
