Literally, ev- eryone from the produc- ers to the DP to Dan and I and the rest of the room had a say." Once production got underway Simmons, shooting Rec. 709 on the VariCam, "typically got 90 percent of the look in camera," says Dalby. "The Panasonic camera and subdued lighting add grittiness" to scenes before post begins. The two colorists, who collaborated on projects prior to reunit- ing at DigitalFilm Tree, spot an episode together, divvy up scenes then use Resolve's live chat feature to communicate and track each other's progress. "We turn over our first passes in about five hours with each of us working on an area of the show," says Dalby. "That time includes the first beauty touch ups and Resolve OFX tools. With Resolve, we are literally able to have the same project open to as many colorists as we want, working at the same time. The only shot not available to me is the one the other colorist is currently doing. As soon as I step off a shot it's saved, and Dan and I can continue however we'd like." "We could all feel that the show was some- thing special, that it had a special energy to it," says Judy. "To see it come back and get the reviews and ratings it did has been really gratify- ing," adds Dalby.
