Blackmagic Design announced today that the Academy Award nominated film Minari was colored in DaVinci Resolve Studio by FotoKem Senior Colorist David Cole.
Directed by Lee Isaac Chung, and lensed by Lachlan Milne (ACS, NCZS), Minari follows a Korean American family that moves to an Arkansas farm in search of its own American dream. Amidst the challenges of this new life in the strange and rugged Ozarks, they discover the undeniable resilience of family and what really makes a home.
With Cole already working with Milne on Love and Monsters , it was a logical jump to incorporate Minari into their already established workflow. It was extremely helpful to Lachlan to do the final color back to back at the same facility as he was shooting other projects while we worked on both Love and Monsters' and Minari.' FotoKem established a remote pipeline for him that worked for collaborating, said Cole.

After extensively discussing the vision for the film, I used Resolve to tweak Lachlan's dailies LUT and built it into something more robust for the entire film. Resolve is quite useful for LUT development, allowing users to export CUBE files. I could hand these off to Lachlan so he had the ability to see how it would handle in various situations.
A drama about a family's struggles, the story and characters of Minari revolve around the landscape, which reflects their hopes for the future. Cole wanted to respect that approach, which was mirrored by the cinematographer and director. To communicate that sense, Lachlan and Isaac wanted a realistic yet idealized look, said Cole. They also wanted the movie to be grounded in the 1980s but with a subtle touch. I used DaVinci Resolve to further extend the LUT and get that 1980's Midwest feel without screaming this is a period film.' It's a very popular genre at the moment, because of Stranger Things and Wonder Woman, but we didn't want Minari' to wander into that retro color space. The Resolve tools allowed me to be artistic with that visual edict.

To achieve the subtle yet effective look, Cole relied on Resolve's many tools, including Power Windows and Keys. There was extensive key work in Minari' to make the fields look lush as well as to add a richness to the sky and clouds, which supports the lead character's idealistic view of the world, that his dream was possible albeit amidst the struggles.
Even though Minari' is the story of the parents (Jacob, played by Steven Yeun and Monica, (played by Yeri Han), it's told through the eyes of the boy (David, played by Alan S. Kim). For scenes inside the trailer where they lived, I relied on sculpting to make it feel more intimate and make their home inviting, especially when David is sharing his room with his grandma. Those scenes take place at night, but we still needed to see the characters and bring out their expressions, while maintaining a sense of the time of day. For Minari', the color grade was always about emphasizing the emotions of the characters at any particular time while telling the story.
