Who We
Are
Ready, Set, Post!
Hueman Interest is a company founded by DITs (Digital
Imaging Technicians) and post professionals who are passionate about sensible
digital cinema workflow. WeÕve
built a mobile, camera-workflow services company specializing in data
acquisition, color management, dailies and Òpre-postÓ consulting for Digital
Cinema productions. With a deep background in creative editorial,
post-production supervision, visual effects and facility management, we
leverage our pioneering successes in Òpre-postÓ on-set in order to assist
productions in the ever-emerging frontier of Digital Cinema acquisition and
workflow, through post. We consult
for our clients on their specific show needs and staff with experienced ICG
Local-600 Digital Imaging Technicians, Loaders and Utilities.
At Hueman Interest, we
take pride in our depth of research and experiential knowledge surrounding
current and anticipated digital cinema cameras along with their formats,
acquisition systems and post workflow processes for 8k-4k-HD and stereoscopic
3D shooting. Among
them are Arri's
Alexa XT Plus/Studio/M and Amira;
SonyÕs F65, F55, F5 and F3; Vision ResearchÕs Phantom Flex4K, Flex and P65; RedÕs
Epic, Dragon and Scarlet; PanasonicÕs 4K VariCam-35; Blackmagic

ARRIRAW recording options; and others.
What We Do
Services Provided:
Commitments to workflow
begin on-set when footage starts rolling. So our first value is
involvement at the pre-production stage, working as the glue between production
and post to offer a sensible workflow for the job - one that supports creative
vision while adhering to budgetary limits and existing pipeline constants. Hueman Interest can be the hub of
communication amongst the client, the DP, editor, colorist, post supervisor,
VFX house and any other post professional in the chain to maintain security of
footage, intelligence of storage, consistency of color, continuity of
match-back, and appropriate digital deliverables.
Hueman Interest also
provides the on-set services and equipment required for secure digital cinema
acquisition, integrated metadata, live color grading, 4k/2k/HD & 3D
playback, dailies transcoding, sound sync and even full editorial prep. Along with our experienced knowledge and
supervision, we can be of great value by coordinating a custom researched
workflow within the camera and sound departments, and of course, right through
post.
We often leverage
overlapping post processes, traditional on-set disciplines and well-integrated
equipment, saving valuable time and money for the clientÕs bottom line. We always work smarter before we work
harder.
At Hueman Interest, we
also have unique relationships with trusted post professionals who have a great
deal of experience with digital cinema workflow. Those partnerships compliment our
workflow design and supervision in order to offer our clients the best quality,
service and value.

What We Do
Equipment Designed/Sold:
Because sensible workflow
is close to our heart, we have ventured into design, build and sales of powerful
computing equipment, accessories and custom foam cases for the DIT, loader and
media professional. Our ThunderStation series of chassis provide the most powerful and
mobile Thunderbolt-2 PCIe expansion and RAID storage
in the market. We use them in our
workflow, and they can be found for sale and rental, configured for specific
camera workflow or general use expansion and storage.
On-Set Gear:
Packages – ˆ la carte
Our on-set equipment and
kit packages are built-to-scale for your productionÕs needs. Some of our digital-cinema savvy clients
simply need an experienced DIT (Digital Imaging Technician) or Digital Loader
for their shoot. They are happy to
know that Human Interest has their back, with a competitive day rate on just
the gear they need and an informed second-opinion about the planned acquisition
and delivery procedures, without the costs of workflow consulting and an
expensive, one-size-fits-all kit or cart rental.
So whether you simply
need a trained and experienced professional to provide on-set RED-Mag backup
and Red Rocket transcodes, or your multi-format, multi-camera shoot requires
the pre-production attention of researched and designed workflow procedures
with on-set services and multi-department coordination / supervision, Hueman
Interest has your interests at heart.
