Meet Rambo, Flexa, Dulux and Dickens!

At Captcha, we don’t go as far as baptising our computers (water and electronics …) but we do give them names.

Is our iMac Rambo named after the films? you might wonder. No, Rambo is the youngest machine at Captcha in a lineage of grading machines named after paint brands. It all started when a very powerful linux machine became Captcha’s primary grading workstation. In Barry’s suite, he had a neon sign that was gifted to him by director Ismael. The sign read: “Flexa, pick your colour here”. When it came to naming the new workstation, the name Flexa stuck.

When we opened our extra suite in Rotterdam, the machine there got the name Dulux: also the name of a paint brand!

For synchronising our media between Amsterdam and Rotterdam we also set up a dedicated partition on our server. To avoid confusion, we could not call it Amsterdam or Rotterdam so we named it Dickens.

Can you guess why? Let us know in the comments!

Meet one of our colourists: Qianwei!

Qianwei () is our queen of long form projects. She keeps on pumping them out from Captcha’s Rotterdam suite. A warm, strong and colourful look-and-feel has become the hallmark of Qianwei’s style. It is no coincidence that three of the documentaries she worked on this year are being screened at IDFA.

Tonight, Zwijgrecht will have its Amsterdam premiere. The film is about the dangers of drug crime and its impact on vulnerable teenagers and young adults. Young people developed this film and discovered their talents in the field of production, acting and music. Some of them were able to use their personal experience with (drug) crime.

This project is a collaboration between Masterplan Zuidoost and the municipality of Rotterdam. We were honored to be involved with this special project and contributed by delivering colour grading and VFX.

“I really enjoyed working on this film project. I appreciate how Lavinia, the director, approached the film as an art project, not just a documentary. Lawrence, the D.O.P. brought everything to a higher level with moody images. They manage to capture the characters in relation to their football club Feyenoord and in extension their city Rotterdam.
We graded in our Rotterdam Studio in the harbour district near Marconiplein. It is nice to see that our satellite suite brings us closer to local filmmakers such as .film .” - Harm Rieske, junior colourist.
