Compartimiento No 6 - DaVinci Resolve

Colorist Sandra Klass decided to color grade the film Compartment no. 6, winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the last Cannes Film Festival, mit Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve software.

Directed by Juho Kuosmanen and with cinematography by J-P Passi, the film is an adaptation of the novel written by Rosa Liksom in 2011. The film, which was shot on Kodak 500T negatives, tells the story of a young Finnish woman who takes a train from Moscow to visit an archaeological site in the Arctic Circle. Forced to travel in the same compartment with a stranger, the chance encounter gradually reconciles these two people at odds.

Klass emphasizes that from the very beginning they pursued the goal of achieving in Compartment no. 6 the “feel of the 90s movies.” “We liked the early scans, over saturated, with different mixed color sources,” she says.

The challenge of night shoots

One of the main challenges for Klass was the slightly underexposed dark areas, a consequence of filming night shots on the train: “Inevitably, some expressions were lost in those scenes. So, I tracked windows onto faces and lit them up. However, this created digital noise over the existing film grain”.

Fortunately, the colorist was able to overcome this using DaVinci Resolve: “I was able to add selective noise reduction, which left some of the grain, so it looked natural with the rest of the frame, but otherwise hid the large push up in exposure.” Klass is fully satisfied with the use of Blackmagic’s software in production: “I am a huge fan of the secondary saturation, hue and luminance controls in DaVinci Resolve. Simple tools that allow for subtle changes.”
