Additional Tips:

  • LUTs should be in either .cube or .lut format to be compatible with Avid.

  • Make sure to place the LUT files in a location you can easily access and remember.

  • You can organize your LUTs by creating subfolders within the Avid LUTs directory.

  • Shared LUTs are available to all projects, while project-specific LUTs are only accessible within the current project.

DC League of Super Pets

Super excited for everyone to check out the latest from Warner Animation. DC League of Super Pets is a super fun romp expertly animated by the talented team at Animal Logic.

Toshi the Wonder Dog!

Anybody that has ever had a pet is going to love this movie.

Post services provided by Warner PPCS include an ACES HDR picture finish and sound. Truly a post-production one-stop-shop.

The project was supervised by Randy Bol. The great thing about working with Randy is we have a level of trust that has been built over many other projects collaborating together. There is definitely a shorthand when both of us are in the suite. One of the best post sups you’ll work with plus just a good dude too.

Color was supervised by co-director Sam Levine. This guy was cracking me up every session. Not only was he hilarious, but damn, what an eagle eye. I was sort of bummed when our time together ended.

A big thanks to Paul Lavoie and Leo Ferrini too for keeping the ship afloat. I would be drowning in a pile of pixels without these guys.

Now go see DC League of Super Pets only in theaters… Preferably a Dolby Cinema one.
