Digimage Cinema, a division of media group CMC, used Mistika for all the stunning stereoscopic 3D effects in live-action 3D French-language feature film Asterix & Obelix: On Her Majestys Service. Digimage offers high-end state-of the-art Stereo 3D and colour grading in the largest DI room in Europe, following its investment in SGOs Mistika technology. The acquisition included a Mistika 2K system with DI and Stereo 3D capabilities with 48 TB of storage, on HPs Z800 Workstation and NVIDIA 6000 Graphic Boards. A Mistika Assist station has recently been added to the workflow, further enhancing efficiency and film capabilities with Mistikas advanced grading power.

DIGIMAGE BELIEVES IN MISTIKA - PUTTING IT STRAIGHT TO WORK ON ASTERIX
We see Mistika as a long term investment and without wasting a moment, we immediately put it to work on Asterix & Obelix: On Her Majestys Service and Jean-Pierre Jeunets highly anticipated film, The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet due to be released this October across all IMAX Theatres in France. Tommaso Vergallo, Managing Director Digital Filmlab of Digimage Cinema states. Located in the South of Paris, Digimage Cinema has worked on many exciting film projects prompting Tommaso to closely review various Stereo 3D and grading systems last year before undertaking the Asterix & Obelix: On Her Majestys Service project and concluded that Mistika was the clear choice with which to move their cinema division forward. We heard a lot of positive reports about Mistika and the supportive team at SGO. The fact that Mistikas advanced technology provides everything we need all in one complete system, is really unique.
Tommaso continues Virtually all of the major post houses across the globe are now adopting Mistika as their primary system for world-class projects of the highest degree. It became an easy decision when we saw Mistika in action and how unbelievably fast it was. It has achieved real results in recent award-winning films, and with all these factors combined, we knew it was the perfect technology for us without a doubt.
Francois Dupuy, Technical Manager at Digimage expands It is very exciting that we are also using Mistika for the complete post of award-winning French director Jean-Pierre Jeunets film, The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet starring Kyle Cattlet and Helena Bonham Carter. It was filmed using ARRI ALEXA cameras in Stereo 3D, and we are currently using our Mistika for the conform, colour grade and Stereo 3D.

MISTIKA ACHIEVES STUNNING COLOUR GRADING AND STEREO 3D RESULTS IN ASTERIX
Mistika played a crucial role at Digimage in the post production of high profile Stereo 3D animation film lead by Stereoscopic Post Production Supervisor Sergio Ochoa with Post Supervisor from Fidelite Films, Susana Antunes and a team of talented artists. Asterix & Obelix: On Her Majestys Service (Asterix et Obelix: Au service de sa Majeste) was directed by Laurent Tirard who was also responsible for the stunning cinematography, which was produced by Olivier Delbosc and Marc Missonnier at Fidelite Films for film company Wild Bunch. It boasts over 800 CGI shots created by Mac Guff and Micros. Alain Derobe and his daughter Josephine Derobe, both Post Supervisors of the Stereo 3D live shoot, which was shot on ARRI ALEXA cameras, set Sergio Ochoa various challenges in post which included Stereo 3D colour grading with CG simultaneously, as well as solving polarisation challenges in the film.
KEY OBJECTIVES MET USING MISTIKA
Sergio explains The key objective within Alains brief was that we had to achieve an extremely high quality finish to ensure a comfortable Stereo 3D experience for the audience, and I believe we accomplished that using Mistika. The project involved extensive colour grading, Stereo 3D grading, conforming and VFX deliveries using Mistikas advanced toolsets in real-time which made it possible for us to achieve excellent results. Sergio and his team faced polarisation issues throughout the film, which they were able to solve owing to Mistikas pixel motion estimation tool which was used for conforming and then exported for the VFX phase of the post process.
MISTIKA IS TIME-SAVING
Sergio elaborates Also the fact that we were able to complete the colour grading and the Stereo 3D grading simultaneously, made it possible for us to save time and increase the creative power as well as the final quality. Mistikas innovative metadata-based philosophy allowed us to do design a workflow which made it possible to parallelize tasks and by doing so, provided the opportunity to synchronise with the editing team, applying editing changes to the project and re-conforming it with all of our processes and changes in a matter of minutes. Sergio enthuses Mistikas capacity to work simultaneously in colour grading and Stereo 3D grading in real-time, facilitated a high quality finish process and enabled Josephine Derobes great vision to be actualised.
MISTIKA IS A FUTURE-PROOF INVESTMENT
Jose Luis Acha, Regional Sales Manager at SGO affirms Digimage Cinema was looking to invest in a post production solution with the additional benefits of first-rate stereoscopic 3D functionality, which they found in Mistika. We are delighted that they chose SGO and Mistika, which delivered great results in Asterix & Obelix: On Her Majestys Service. Mistika is a ahead of the game in DI and stereoscopic editing and with Digimages recently acquired Mistika Assist station indicates their rapid growth SGO supports as their high profile projects flow in.
