Abstract [en]

Within the visual creation of film, projects are processed to reach an end goal that should be visualized in the same way wherever it is seen. Color management is needed to control the output colors of a film. Just as the technology inside cameras changes, so does the way to manage colors throughout a project. Color management systems today look completely different compared to what they looked like in the beginning. This essay will address the color management issues that arise for a local VFX production company consisting of 2 people in Skellefteå, Sweden. The method in the thesis identifies the constraints and challenges they face and develops improvements based on the structure of their current way of working. The method is based on today's industry standard systems, suchas ACES (Academy Color Encoding System). The thesis project is based on previously developed knowledge of academic literature. The results indicate that the developed workflow is improved, but further investigation with a clearer build-up could help smaller VFX productions switch from their current workflow to this one.

Abstract [sv]

Inom det visuella skapandet av film bearbetas projekt för att nå ett mål som ska kunnavisualiseras på samma sätt var man än ser den. Färghanteringssystem finns för att kontrolleradet slutliga färgresultatet av en film. Dessa färghanteringssystem som använts har under tidenändrats och ser idag helt olik ut i jämnförelse med från början. Denna uppsats kommer att bearbeta de färghanterings-problem som uppstår hos ett lokalt VFX produktionsföretagbestående av 2 personer, i Skellefteå, Sverige. Arbetet identifierar de begränsningar och utmaningar de står inför, samt tar fram förbättringar baserade på strukturen av deras nuvarande sätt att arbeta. Metoden bygger på de industristandardsystem som används idag såsom ACES (Academy Color Encoding System). Examensarbetet baseras på tidigare framtagen kunskap av akademisk litteratur. Resultatet indikerar att det finns tydliga förbättringar med det utvecklade arbetsflödet, men genom en ytterligare utredning med tydligare påbyggnad skulle kunna hjälpa till i processen för mindre VFX produktioner att byta från sitt nuvarande arbetsflöde till detta.
