Understanding a director’s needs, close interaction with clients, and having a clear vision of what the final result should look like is how Makarand Surte, senior colourist is helping Redchillies.Color stay leagues ahead of competition
He is the person who is responsible for creating a workflow early in early project at Redchillies. Color. This kind of planning helps moviemakers view rushes, visual effects, digital intermediates or previews in a format that will give them an idea about what the movie will finally look like. Meet Makarand Surte, senior colourist, Redchillies.Color. He believes that the only way for a post-production house to stay ahead of the game is by establishing a good rapport with clients and delivering projects on time. From his end, he endeavours to understand the director and DOP’s vision; what they actually want to achieve from the movie, while also aiming to translate the writer’s perspective on the screen.
How do you use your skills to help Redchillies.Color differentiate itself from other production houses in India?
Redchillies is a household name now, a conversation starter. The minute I say I’m with Redchillies, everyone stops whatever they’re doing and asks me, ‘How is Shah Rukh Khan or SRK. I guess that’s one great way to differentiate ourselves!’
It was in 2016, when Fan the movie was released, when my coworker and friend Ken Metzker and I were approached by Keitan Yadav and Harry Hingorani, CEO and CCO of Redchillies VFX, who suggested the possibility of having a colour grading setup for Redchillies. This was a great collaboration opportunity for our clients and us. That is how it all started for Redchillies.Color. We were able to move with the majority of our team from Reliance MediaWorks so we have been able to fly right out of the gate.
