JOSEPH KAHN'S NEW FILM "ICK" EMBRACES FULL BLACKMAGIC DESIGN WORKFLOW, PREMIERING AT TIFF 2024

Blackmagic Design today announced that Joseph Kahn’s new film “Ick” was shot and completed post with a full Blackmagic Design workflow. This included shooting with Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K OLPF and Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K digital film cameras and editing and color correction with DaVinci Resolve Studio, Blackmagic Cloud and Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini 8TB network storage solution.

“Ick” is a mix of over the top horror, comedy, alien invasion and satire. Grammy award winning Kahn, who wrote and directed the film, is known for amazing visuals and high paced action, having shot some of the most iconic music videos of the past decade.

Premiering at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, “Ick” tells the story of the American town of Eastbrook that for 20 years has ignored a creeping vine growth which eventually evolves and attacks. Starring Brandon Routh and Mena Suvari, the film is a mix of practical and visual effects (VFX) that brings high quality, and often funny, over the top grotesque images.

REMOTE COLLABORATION AND SEAMLESS EDITING WITH BLACKMAGIC CLOUD

“Ick” was shot in Houston, TX by Cinematographer David Weldon, with post production split between Editor Chancler Haynes, working from Houston during principal photography and from Los Angeles after, and Assistant Editors Edward Schroer and Sam Cook, who worked from different locations in Los Angeles. Color correction was done by Walter Volpatto of Picture Shop.
