The Briefing Room

Burbank, CA 13th August 2008 – Leading Burbank post house AlphaDogs has announced that it was chosen to provide post services for the critically acclaimed Werner Herzog movie Encounters at the End of the World which is currently in theatres nationwide.

CEO & Founder of AlphaDogs Terence Curren comments, “We provided all on line editing and color timing for this project in our Burbank facility. Our colorist Brian Hutchings was able to achieve exactly the look the client wanted in our newest color correction suite.”

Brian Hutchings, AlphaDogs Colorist added “Color Correction for Encounters at the End of the World was all done in house at AlphaDogs using the Apple Final Cut Studio Color package. AlphaDogs installed Color along with the optional Tangent operator panels which really gives the feel of the Da Vinci System I’m used to. Color worked throughout the sessions without fault and allowed us to achieve the exact look required.”

Written, directed and narrated by Herzog for the National Science Foundation, ‘Encounters’ is a never before seen glance at a hidden South Pole society. It documents the lives of 1,000 men and women living in close quarters in physically and psychologically challenging circumstances to further the goals of cutting edge science. The film exposes the psyches of this diverse clan while capturing the treacherous beauty of the Antarctic landscape and below water world. ‘Encounters’ has shown at numerous festivals and won Best Documentary at the Edinburgh International Film Festival and a Jury Mention at the Planet Doc Review Festival in Warsaw.
