About Us
We're an independent grading and restoration facility based in the heart of Pinewood Studios. Originally established in Soho by the multi-award winning colourist Vince Narduzzo in 2007, the company moved into a new, state of the art facility at Pinewood twelve months later. Making the most of the tools at our disposal, we're now taking our industry leading work on high end drama, documentaries, comedies, features and currently full restoration on archive projects to new levels. Producing fantastic looking work is our passion but ensuring our clients enjoy the experience of working with us as part of the production team is why our success can be attributed to building long lasting relationships with DoP's, Directors and Producers alike. We love what we do and continually expanding our extensive knowledge in the world of grading is at the heart of NarduzzoToo.
Being at Pinewood means that we are part of an exciting post production community and have access to the latest, cutting edge technology, offering a complete range of services and a huge wealth of experience. Using the skills and services of chosen Pinewood partners such as Outpost facilities (see friends of Narduzzo links) we have delivered full post for several TV and feature projects. Our collaborations with Pinewood Studios include feature and TV post and an ongoing slate of high end restoration projects. Within the Pinewood community we can offer an interesting alternative to the "one stop shop" post house option. We're happy to quote on full post production packages of any scale and budget.
What We Use
The Nucoda Film Master from Image Systems (formerly Digital Vision) is our grading platform, Our large grading suite, based within Pinewood's Post Production block, is a very comfortable room installed with the latest HD/2K digital projector from Projection Design. The large projection screen is essential for our DI feature projects but also brings a new dimension to our HD TV and restoration work. Of course we still also have a grade one HD monitor in the suite, essential for our HD deliveries and for those who like to work and view in HD. Once the master material is ingested, we use a data work flow for grading and finishing. We have full connectivity to Pinewood's post facility giving us access to the fantastic Theatre 7. This is not only for viewing 35mm film outs, 2K data and digital cinema material (2D and 3D) but also gives us the ability to use this fantastic space for full feature grading.
The Film Master is a very powerful grading platform capable of working from SD to 4K for film, TV and commercial finishing. It offers a high level of creative freedom and flexibility for both conforming and grading. The system also boasts an incredibly powerful set of tools for restoration work that includes de-spot and high end grain reduction software.
Restoration
At Narduzzo Too we are passionate about restoration. We believe that Image System's Nucoder is a superior piece of kit, offering grading and restoration in one box, it provides the versatility and flexibility required for any major restoration projects.
Restoring material as we grade eliminates the need to switch from one piece of kit to another. It is this all in one package that provides solutions for our clients in restoration and re-mastering whether required for archiving, Digital Cinema, HDTV or DVD / Blu Ray. Vince has been restoring and re-mastering both TV programs and Films such as Black Narcissus, Egypt and Pride & Prejudice for many years. For the last two years we have been working in collaboration with Pinewood Studios working on many titles for Canal Plus such as, Death on the Nile, The Railway Children and Peeping Tom.
