Pandora
Challenge
The design of equipment interfaces was not keeping pace with the many new and varied postproduction creative effect tools used by Colourists. PDD were selected to integrate the new tools with Pandora’s existing panel and improve the complex interaction.
Solution
PDD included a group of digital film colourists in the project team to ensure every consideration was covered. A new control surface supports an intuitive control of tasks. Since the panels are operated in the dark, illuminated trackballs and digitiser tablet were specified and augmented with a tactile experience unique and specific to a type of function.
Result
By providing the most innovative and advanced creative tool globally available, Pandora is ensuring its position as a market leader in film editing control.
