CAPTURE TO DELIVERY
HIJACK was tasked with the end-to-end workflow supervision and fulfilment for Four Quartets by Director Sophie Fiennes, with full post and all deliverables completed at HIJACK’s East London post house.
HIJACK is my go-to London post production home, impeccable on the technical side, but also trusted creative collaborators. The team is energetic and adaptable, making it possible for the director to explore and realise new thoughts and decisions as they bubble up.
SOPHIE FIENNES DIRECTOR
FOUR QUARTETS
The BBC’s Four Quartets is a powerful dramatic reading of TS Eliot’s famous poems performed by Ralph Fiennes. The film takes place within the confines of a theatrical stage with minimal lighting and set design.
Sophie Fiennes’ film has a spartan colour palette with a naturalistic and unforced overall look within both the theatrical interior and the accompanying rural and coastal location shots. This is matched by a thoughtful and subtle soundscape where the crisply recorded dialogue always remains at the forefront. The result is evocative of a timeless English past in keeping with the poetry and the reading.
HIJACK’s Technical Director Alex Seery explains the team provided full workflow support during the editing process including preparation and delivery of EDLs for Cinelab (to scan the film and return to HIJACK) and AAF audio files for Pro Tools.
On receiving the film scan, the HIJACK team conformed the media and removed film specks and visible artefacts. Alex then colour graded the final film working alongside Sophie and DOP Mike Eley BSC.
The ADR was recorded with Ralph Fiennes by Gavin Winterborn in the HIJACK audio suite and dubbing mixer Philippe Ciompi later orchestrated the final mix. HIJACK mastered and QC’d the picture deliverables for the BBC and international distributors.
