“”Blackmagic Design today announced that colorist Tony
Dustin of Hollywood-based Technicolor used the DaVinci Resolve
Linux non-linear color correction system for color grading work
done on Paramount Pictures/Relativity Media?s critically acclaimed
feature film “The Fighter” directed by David O. Russell. The film
stars actor/producer Mark Wahlberg, Amy Adams, and recent Golden
Globe winners Christian Bale and Melissa Leo, and is currently in
theaters nationwide.

“Using the DaVinci Resolve system to give the film a rich,
realistic look, Dustin worked alongside Russell, post production
supervisor Christopher Kulikowski and cinematographer Hoyte van
Hoytema. Together, they created an atmosphere to illustrate the
grittiness of the boxing gym and the authenticity of the
Boston-area working class against the backdrop of Lowell,
Massachusetts, while also capturing the intensity of the
professional ring. “Russell wanted “The Fighter” to feel as genuine
and powerful as the original story, Dustin explained, so we needed
to make every shot look human, not processed.”
