Our today's guest will go down in history books as a part of a team that has changed cinematography forever. I am talking about the team behind the development of Arri Alexa. A digital camera that, until today, remains the most widely used digital camera in professional film production. And if you were to ask cinematographers why is it that they like Alexa so much. They would declare that it is all to do with Alexa's Color Science that is responsible for that illusive Alexa Filmic Look. In today's podcast, you will have a unique opportunity to meet the person responsible for this amasing color science. He is going to open his treasure chest and explain how he came up with it and how a rare opportunity that Arri gave him to work on an RnD project later was instrumental in the creation of Arri Alexa.This is also the right moment to talk to our guest as Arri has just announced the Alexa 35, the most advanced professional cinema camera ever created with 17 stops of dynamic range and with a brand new color science. And you will get a chance to learn many crucial details about the new Arri LogC4.Ladies and Gentlemen, it is a great honor to introduce you to Harald Brandel a chief color scientist of Arri.
Color Science and Digital ImagingI don't think many people paid too much attention to the sort of miracle that produces color technology in a digital device, because we were so used to using color film, which itself is a technological masterpiece to balance the various photo-sensitive pigments that would result in images that we perceive with our human visual system to look the same as the scene we took a picture of. This week’s conversation is with Jeff Carmichael. An expert on imaging systems particularly around the use of filter technology for looking at light from different parts of the spectrum.Color sensors don’t see color, they detect light and have either a red, blue or green filter over each pixel (a Bayer filter array) which blows my mind in terms of manufacturing, not to mention integrating all the data it captures across millions of pixels. Then all that data (voltages counting photons) is turned into numbers that can be delivered to a screen that somehow reverses the whole process and presents us with an image that looks very much like the original scene. Jeff described for me how light of different wavelengths were associated with our actual perception of those colors based on a couple of experiments by the Commission Internationale de l'éclairage (CIE) involving 17 people in the early 20th century. You may have seen one of these chromaticity diagrams in relation to calibrating a computer screen.Now imagine your camera collecting light in three different buckets, just red, blue and green, each of those somewhat arbitrary and imprecise, and still making an image you would hang on your wall, watch on Netflix or further manipulate before you post on Instagram. It’s all just math, right?Microscopes with digital cameras are an obvious application. But what else can we do inside the imaging world in life science?Remote SensingHow about remote sensing of environmental features where by looking at specific parts of the spectrum through various filters, you can make some determinations as to what is going on? Think about things like assessing the growth or health of crops, or the biomass of plants in the rainforest. Pour yourself a glass of wine, look up at the night sky and appreciate the fact that the satellite you see whizzing by may have helped determine the maturation of grapes in your glass. The Normalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a measure of vegetation based on comparisons between the red and near infrared light reflected from them (NIR - R) / (NIR + R) = (math again). I asked if that was a form of machine vision. Machine VisionIt turns out machine vision is a little different from remote sensing. While remote sensing is at the mercy of ambient light for the most part (we talked about LIDAR as an exception) machine vision is more like studio photography -highly dependent on consistent light sources. It’s used primarily for repetitive analyses like looking for defects or sorting pistachios. In life science, machine vision may currently be limited to routine applications ensuring that sample tubes have adequate sample, caps are on, the right tubes in place, etc. for high volume automated analyses.What Jeff is interested in is following a developmental or disease model e.g. an embryology experiment where one might be watching for a long time without interacting with the subject. Now, perhaps someone out there is hearing us and thinking, Jeff, you idiot. We do this all the time and maybe someone does. But it's not widespread like it is in industrial automation. If that someone is you, leave a comment. I’d love to chat with you. As would Jeff, I’m sure. Two separate pathsOne interesting thing that Jeff has observed is that the machine vision space and the life science space seem to be on parallel tracks seemingly invisible to each other.For example, both sectors have companies developing similar light sources, LED light engines he calls them, that can be controlled by software to get the lighting you want. But he’s not aware of any interaction between companies in different sectors.LEDs have become, they have been for a long time now the dominant type of light source used for lighting and machine vision applications. They don't get hot, they use little energy. They can pump out a lot of light in a very small wavelength range. You can, overdrive them so that they cycle really fast and can do very fast imaging.The same seems to be true in artificial intelligence (we had to get there, right?)For example, Landing AI and Path AI are both in the life science space, focused on machine vision and pathology respectively. Jeff is curious whether each segment (ML and LS) has something to be learned from the other. Because usually things mix and sorta come out in the wash in the end. So one resolution, I don't know, it could be that they borrow from each other on their particular AI approaches, right? And machine vision, they might be using a certain way of approaching AI that they hadn't thought of in the life science and vice versa. That could be the way that they merge. Like in music, you borrow from each other.We’ll be listening to see what happens. This is a public episode.

As you browse through Jenn's portfolio you'll see that she is truly a master of her craft. Even our amazing discord community was curious if her grasp and understanding of color was science or witchcraft (jokes of course, although we cannot confirm nor deny Jenn's magical abilities, her skills and color mastery are the direct result of her inherent talent, experience and education). In this conversation Jenn shared with us just what it means to be a visual development artist. What it's like to work collaboratively on a team, and what it was like to discover the correlation between art and storytelling. Jenn's worked on projects ranging from commercials to feature films to children's books (link to her upcoming book, “The Gardner of Alcatraz”).

Renzo Shamey talks about the science of color creation.
In 2015 the world was divided into two warring factions overnight. And at the center of this schism was a single photograph. Cecilia Bleasdale took a picture of a dress that she planned to wear to her daughter's wedding and that photo went beyond viral. Some saw it as blue with black trim; others as white with gold trim. For his part, Wired science writer Adam Rogers knew there was more to the story -- a reason different people looking at the same object could come to such radically divergent conclusions about something as simple as color.Rogers recently wrote a book titled Full Spectrum: How the Science of Color Made Us Modern. In this episode, Roman Mars talks with the author about how the pursuit to organize, understand, and create colors has been one of the driving forces shaping human history, starting with the story of this hotly debated piece of apparel from 2015 then winding back through built environments of global World's Fairs.Full Spectrum

Rod Bogart, aka RGB, (the best initials in the biz) grew up in Colorado. His dad worked at IBM and occasionally brought computers home. Computer Science was a natural pursuit and Rod went on to earn his BS and MS degrees. After graduating he spent some time running a visualization lab on the University of Michigan campus. He later worked at PDI in Hollywood where he helped develop procedurally based image processing tools to automate wire removal and the removal of most anything from any shot. He joined the ILM R&D group in 1995 and helped develop the Open EXR standard with Florian Kainz, Drew Hess, and Piotr Stanczyk which went on to win a Scientific and Technical Achievement Academy Award. Years later at Pixar he developed their color science pipeline. Rod then moved to NYC where he worked for HBO on their HDR tools and workflows. Today he is the senior software engineer on the virtual production team at Epic. He’s been at ground zero of virtually every major development in the business for the last 30 years.Rod is one of the most kind and intelligent people I've ever worked with. He has an uncanny ability to take highly complex technical concepts and explain them in terms anyone can follow and understand. It was great fun to reconnect with him and hear his story.
The appreciation of color is considered universal among human societies, yet varies vastly according to cultural norms and material circumstances. In the nineteenth century, synthetic chemistry produced new hues like mauve that changed the sensory worlds of people living in industrial societies. In The Republic of Color: Science, Perception, and the Making of Modern America (Chicago UP 2019), historian Michael Rossi explores how reformers and scientists turned to color science to ask and answer profound questions about the relationship between perception and personhood. Their efforts to define and standardize the modern sensorium were often proposed as solutions to practical problems of education and accountability. In this way, color systems made moral and political claims on what good governance in an increasingly bureaucratized society might look like. From the Pragmatists' protoplasmic preoccupations to the educational experiments of board game magnates, Rossi's study of color in American life brings anxieties over the possibility of community in the modern world into brilliant focus. Whether rooted in philosophical paradoxes or unabashed racial animus, standardizing color cut to the heart of human difference at a crucial moment in the development of the human sciences. This vibrant book will find an audience in aesthetes and Americanists alike, or virtually anyone interested in why the technical tools for making and modulating color look the way they do—not to spoil it, but how deeply have you considered the color options in software like Photoshop? Mikey McGovern is a PhD candidate in Princeton University's Program in the History of Science. He is writing a dissertation on how people used statistics to make claims of discrimination in 1970s America, and how the relationship between rights and numbers became a flashpoint in political struggles over bureaucracy, race, and law.
