Shoonya went through
the digital intermediate process at post production facility Pixion. Pixion studios
have introduced IQ in India making it the holder of the largest concentration
of Quantel systems in India . Pixion facilities are used to provide complete solutions
ranging from offline to online processing, graphics and digital sound for broadcasters
and animation design filmmakers. These functions normally account for about 25
per cent of the total budget allocation made by any producer in every project. The
film by the debutant director Arindam Mitra, was one of the three films selected
from India along with films of veteran Film-makers Girish Kasaravalli and Gautam
Ghosh. Pixion CEO Naresh Malik
says that the film was shot on the HDV format, which was converted digitally through
the DI process at Pixion and transferred back to film for the cinema audience.
"The entire DI process took close to four weeks and was colour graded
by Robert Lang, a film grade artist at Pixion. Shoonya has been a pleasant
experience for us and we take great pride in this film's international acceptance
and success." |
