Blackmagic Design announced today that the Hulu original series, Iki wo Hisomete, was shot on Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2. The series used DaVinci Resolve Studio with Speed Editor and Editor Keyboard for color correction, preparing for final delivery globally and editing.
Iki wo Hisomete consists of eight episodes, is directed by award winning Ryutaro Nakagawa and stars many of Japan's top actors. This heartwarming omnibus drama series from Hulu has aired since April 23rd and depicts life and relationships of people living near Japan's Tamagawa River during Covid 19 time in 2020.

Senzo Ueno, the director of photography of this series, said: I mostly used only one camera and sometimes I used another URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2. I chose the G2 because it has a wide range of latitude. The series is a rather quiet story, so I kept camera movement to a minimum and used natural light as much as possible.
Editing was done by Genta Tamaki of Interceptor Inc. using DaVinci Resolve Studio. The studio and my home are connected via VPN and I have direct access to the data base server in the studio from my home. When I work alone, I edited at home with my M1 Mac Book Pro and a DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor. When I edited at the studio with the director attending the editing session, it was a simple workflow. I opened the same project I had worked on and continued editing using DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard, said Tamaki.

I asked the production crew to embed metadata, such as scene and take number in audio. Once video and audio material arrived to me, I synchronized video and audio in the Media page of DaVinci Resolve. Then the metadata embedded in audio linked to video as well, which means preparation for edit was done with a single button click. It was so efficient as I could start editing right away and it also means reducing post production cost. DaVinci is more powerful than the other NLEs in this aspect.
From offline to finishing, the post process was basically done in DaVinci Resolve Studio, said Dai Sano, a producer from SPOON inc. After Tamaki's editing, we graded the footage at the post house IMAGICA. The workflow was really seamless and it was so easy to go back to editing as we used DaVinci throughout the post process. For example, we needed to shoot some extra shots after editing was finished. My colorist could easily edit the additional shots during a grading session, which was so efficient.

Editing on Resolve was useful to judge if some shots really worked in some scenes. We had a missing shot so I needed to use another shot, which had an actor's face lit with bright light, in a dark room scene. I test graded the shot with DaVinci Resolve using the DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel in my studio during an editing session. If I had us
