Top Secret of the studios

[Alex Prohorushkin]

Hello everybody.

I’ve a question to which no one could not give me an answer.

In these studios like Technicolor, the Lustre program is used with its personal modifications, or not?

Or is this Top Secret and confidential information?

I remember that Steve Scott mentioned in fxguide podcast that they use a customized version of Lustre. But that was couple of years ago.

Lustre is discussed several times in the premium articles by the Technicolor colorists.

and what is the result? Have you something to share on this forum?

Lustre is primarily used in Hollywood these days.

I think it's the #1 grading system there and Autodesk cares very much about that high end market.

One of the many advantages of a Lustre workflow is the connection to Flame - which was e.g. pretty important when they did The Revenant (lots of roto on that movie btw).

Apart from that I'm not aware of any specific software modifications.

I know some colorists have their own panel mapping for Lustre (called "panel rules" after what the config file is labeled),

but that's all I'm aware of.

Hi Mazze.

What does "panel mapping for Lustre" mean?

It's interesting.

[Mazze]

Just a different mapping of functions on the panel for the ACS and CP100 panels.

But as of recently, you can also use the Tangent Mapper with the Wave, Element, Ripple and CP200 panels

and create your own mapping for Lustre pretty easily without messing around with config files.
