da Vinci

Here’s a shot of the da Vinci color corrector at work.  This thing has some scary features, like it can automatically track a face in (and out) of frame so that you can do a custom color correction just on that.  You just draw a rough circle around the area and it does the rest — no rotoscoping or tracker-picking necessary.

It was also fun to watch them correct the levels in a scene.  They would just manipulate the wheels in front of them, and suddenly the frame looked good.  You could really fly on that thing.
