Kappa Completes a New RED Feature
One of the first facilities to embrace the revolutionary RED One Camera, Kappa studios has attracted a string of projects using this cutting edge technology and provides large facility resources to independent producers.
The latest theatrical feature posted by Kappa is Unrequited which tells the story of Ben Jacobs, a troubled young man who, on his 18th birthday, must leave the group home where he has been living for the past several months. After moving back in with his mother, Ben discovers that his girlfriend is now dating an older college guy. Desperate for love and unable to cope with losing Jessica, Ben’s troubled past catches up with him as he kidnaps her in an attempt to regain her affection. Events do not improve.
The film is being distributed worldwide by Arclight and was produced by Jeff Day and Tom Lockridge of Lucky Day Studios. The company is unusual in that it not only wants to make successful films but it also encourages college and university students to serve as interns and apprentices working side-by-side with industry professionals. Jason Epperson, from On The Lot, a joint venture created by Steven Spielberg and Mark Burnett, directed the picture.
Kappa’s Digital Intermediate Supervisor Igor Ridanovic used the Avid DS to assemble and color correct the picture. Ridanovic has this to say: “The combination of the DS and our Samsung projector provides a powerful team of color grading tools. This is a theatrical feature, so seeing it in a theater like environment is extremely helpful.” Kappa’s lead mixer Humberto Zamores supervised the audio editing and mixed the 5.1 audio in its Dolby certified dub stage.
