These are some color corrected dailies I put up for cast and crew to view. The look isn't final yet, just a tease for the people working on the show, especially the actors. I'm most proud of the hallway and opening office shot. I'm still messing with the color options for the cubicle areas and conference rooms, that cool blue look is starting to grow on me :) Just a quick note, they are fairly high quality, so you might have trouble playing them back, 10-20 MB streaming quicktime depending on the clip.

Thanks,
 
looks good chris

I like the color of the hallway. I like how everything is blue and you left the guy with the funky tie the color the way he was. I don't know if that was a conscious effort but it makes him look like a shmuck (wearing that stuff when everyone else has on more formal less punchy clothing) which from the short scene that I saw there is how he is meant to be portrayed.
 
Nice lighting. Looks really good. There were a couple problems I saw. One is compositional. The aspect ratio is too wide for the subject matter. I'd save that one for sweeping epics and large elaborate sets. This movie seems to be about people. I think the super-wide look is exterraneous and hinders your storytelling by not allowing you to get the compositions you need. Like I said the lighting was good, but I would also keep it consistent. Some scenes were shot using tungsten lighting, while at least one other was shot fluoro. Keep it consistent, I'd say. Overall, It looks really good.
 
This film is actually a parody of "The Departed", which is why I croped the film very wide (thats how the real film looks). The lighting is actually very consistent in the film, all of the hallway and cubes are the same lighting style, the only differences are between locations (ie, an office with a window, outside, etc...). The hacking scene in one cube is a different style, but thats also an "after hours" operation, so it had to look different. You might be comparing the color, which I haven't tried matching precisely yet (I will for the final cut though!). I actually used KinoFlo and tungsten at the same time in almost every shot.

The hallway tracking shot actually required about 15 fixtures! My biggest shot in this film (not posted yet) required more than 20. Luckily I had a good gaffer and key grip helping me out on this one.
