Rebecca Burrell said… “Halo did an absolutely incredible job on the final post. The series looks and sounds amazing and that’s in large part down to the Halo team’s hard work, technical skill and creative talents. Colourist Katherine Jamison’s masterful grade heightened each scene of our dramatic recreation, giving it an atmospheric beauty, playing with perspective and adding colour or desaturating images as the story dictated, as well as elevating the kaleidoscope of archive in the series. Dubbing mixer Gerrit Swanepoel made the most of our dramatic score and the wide variety of elements that make up the series, creating an epic and memorable soundscape. And online editor Tom Young worked utter magic in the final stages, bringing together a series everyone is very proud of. Thank you to the whole team at Halo.”
Colourist: Katherine Jamieson said… “Anatomy of Lies is such a mad story, literally like something out of an episode of Grey’s Anatomy.
This real-life story unfolds through a mix of interviews, archive and drama reconstruction. It was important that we were sensitive with the recon as these are real people’s lives and so they acted more as a tonal representation. When we were in the writer’s room in LA it was cooler and more clinical but then when Elizabeth Finch meets Jen we use warmer, softer tones to acknowledge the safety the two women felt with each other. I also played around a lot with focus in the reconstructions. Making shots move in and out of focus more like a memory than literal recreation of events.
The cooler and warmer tones also extended into the interviews albeit subtly.
The people from the LA and the Hollywood world had cooler tones.
It was a beautifully collaborative and creative experience working with the team at Dorothy Street and I feel proud that we really propelled the story in the grade.”
