Due to both lost time, weather changes and lack of NDs, we had exposure issues in the scene. In a freak moment the wind caught some black material and blew it into the camera, knocking it over and smashing most of our ND filters. In another scene we were hours from the city and any rental house, shooting outside by a lake. One day we lost light, so the Magic Mask was used to select the actors’ faces and brighten them up. Things like automatically rotoing a bible on a table to brighten and reveal it, or automatically generating hold out mattes on foreground moving vehicles in order to remove vehicles behind them. Whiting explained, “We used the Magic Mask a lot. Some of the DaVinci Neural Engine’s AI features that were used with the film were Magic Mask, which removed the necessity for intricate rotoscoping and keying, Speed Warp for slow motion effects, and Object Removal for covering up moving objects in an otherwise static shot. DaVinci Neural Engine uses state of the art deep neural networks and machine learning, along with AI to power features such as facial recognition, object detection, smart reframing, speed warp retiming, super scale upscaling, auto color and color matching. Most of us working on the film’s post production have been working with Resolve for years, and it amazing how every year it keeps improving, all while giving customers the updates for free,” Whiting said.ĭaVinci Neural Engine’s AI features were used throughout the post production process. “With Resolve, having all of the post features in a single program was a lifesaver. The look, feel and pacing of the film was essential for its success, and to ensure their vision was captured correctly the filmmakers decided to use DaVinci Resolve Studio.ĭaVinci Resolve Studio was used for color correction, editing, audio editing with the Fairlight page and VFX work using the Fusion page. The film cycles between well lit, relaxing locations to frightening and fog shrouded wilderness and dramatic ritualistic violence. After being pushed by her husband, played by Dan Ewing, to seek treatment from a group of religious zealots, a ruthless exorcist, played by Tim Pocock attempts to save her soul by putting her through hell. Godless: The Eastfield Exorcism is a terrifying look at a woman, played by Georgia Eyers, who is tormented between science and faith. Inspired by true events, faith and sanity are put to the test when a devout Christian begins to suspect his mentally ill wife is demonically possessed. The film was shot in regional Victoria, Australia against the stunning landscape of Daylesford and Hepburn Springs over 24 days. Godless: The Eastfield Exorcism was directed by Nick Kozakis and included Supervising Sound Editor Benni Knop and Colorist Timothy Whiting. This included extensive use of the DaVinci Neural Engine’s AI features, Fairlight Desktop Audio Editor console, DaVinci Resolve Mini Panels and DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor keyboard.
