SANTA CLARA, CA -- At the Festival de Cannes, which runs through May 22, the Cannes Marché’s third event placed a heavy emphasis on the high-growth VR market. The VR Days program featured VR projects from Canada, the USA, Denmark, and France. Virgil Kastrup, Denmark was noted for his high-quality post production, conform, color grading, versioning, compositing, and finishing, of two VR projects using ASSIMILATE’s SCRATCH VR end-to-end workflow and tools. Both VR projects were produced by Makropol Denmark.
Several other films on the Cannes Festival competition roster have been created by filmmakers whose post-production companies used ASSIMILATE’s SCRATCH end-to-end post-production workflow and tools in their digital workflows for dailies, conform, color grading, compositing and finishing. These include Cosmo Digital (Paris, France) and Local Hero (Santa Monica, CA), also showcased for their high-quality post-production of the following features, short films and documentaries.
