Arri Film & TV Colours ‘Every Thing Will Be Fine’ in Stereo 3D on DaVinci Resolve |
The recent project from director Wim Wenders, ‘Every Thing Will Be Fine’, has been graded on DaVinci Resolve at Arri Mitte, part of Arri Film & TV Services in Berlin, by colourist Philipp Orgassa. The film, focussing on a distracted novelist who accidentally hits and kills a child while driving, is shot in 3D by cinematographer Benoît Debie, in order to produce an intensifying effect that draws out the emotions of grief and trauma the protagonists feel. This is Wenders’ first dramatic production in 3D, following his two documentary projects ‘Pina’, nominated for an Oscar, and the ‘Cathedrals of Culture’ architecture series. |

“Pushing up the contrast can risk blowing out the details, so we had to use various tricks to keep the vibrancy that Benoît Debie, the DP, had captured on set. We used Resolve’s noise reduction throughout the grade, which helped us to produce a very rich contrast in 3D. We worked wearing 3D glasses in the grading theatre to make sure the depth and emotional connection that Wim wanted from the stereo effects remained intact.” |

Unlike the common use of 3D in movies, where everything remains in focus to make elements pop out of the screen, Wim determined that the film should retain a cinematic look and feel, which has the opposite effect of drawing the audience into the drama. “There was a lot of shallow depth of field and out of focus elements, just as in a normal feature film, which we had to manage,” explained Philipp. |
