Lionsgate’s latest release “Norm of the North” Hits Theaters on time with the help of ROUSH Media
ROUSH Media’s creative and technical teams provided the complete finishing and mastering for this fun animated feature in record speed. This included Conform, DI Color grading, and Digital Cinema Mastering for the theatrical and home video versions.
This project was a global collaboration and was on a very tight deadline. New versions of the edit and new shots were delivered electronically from overseas via Aspera transfers while the color and conform session was taking place. Turnaround time for new conforms and DCP masters occurred within hours, not days.
Doing the DI color grade on a theatrical animated feature at the highest levels and delivering across different color spaces while maintaining the creative intent is a unique challenge. Unlike live action films, animation has everything from the rich saturated colors to whites of the snow. These image characteristics must be properly dealt with. ROUSH Media has the expertise and infrastructure needed to handle such a task.
Tim Archer, the Post Supervisor, said “Keith and his team went above and beyond on the color and final delivery for Norm. He has empowered his team to make the creative and technical process very smooth. They all cared about our project and went out of the way to deliver.”
They delivered for us and they’ll deliver for you!
Roush’s dedicated team of Post Professionals handled Norm of the North’s challenging workflow, schedule and budget with a smile. They delivered for us and they’ll deliver for you. I’ll be posting more projects there in the near future.
Way to go Keith and team!
“I’m glad we were able to help our friends from Splash Entertainment and Lionsgate with an impressive color grade, done right,” said Keith Roush.

War Room DI WorkFlow
ROUSH Media recently had the pleasure to complete the 4K Digital Intermediate & Mastering on the new feature film that is taking the world by storm War Room. It has now reached 67+ million at the box office. Pushing Straight Outta Compton out of its top spot on its 2nd weekend bringing it to #1 at the box office.
It all started when Director, Alex Kendrick and his team sent to Keith Roush A screener of the film & then discussed the look. War Room was one of Keith Roush’s favorite films to color grade.” It is such beautifully emotional impacting story, the images need to match the the story. Alex wanted a warm lush beautiful look with rich skin tones.” Shot on the RED Epic ROUSH’s team conformed the film in it native 4 or 5K on our Nucoda System and processed the RAW images with Roush’s proprietary Debayer and Color pipeline.
Alex Kendrick had a certain vision that he wanted to get across to his viewers. The vision that he had was a very warm summer luscious feel. He wanted the look of the film to match the emotional arks of the story that he was trying to present his viewers.
Keith felt personally connected to the story and wanted to make sure the audience would experience the story visually as well. From warm lush greens, to rich and creamy dark skin, to turning the brown trees into green ones or taking cloudy gray to sky baby blue. This is what we call digital intermediate color grading.
War Room was such a pleasure for Keith to color grade because it allowed him to use his artistic talent to impact viewers on such a great film. He felt like he was painting in colors that were not there and making a raw image turn into something wonderful and amazing.
If you still haven’t seen the film now is the time to go. You definitely will not regret it.
