We are delighted to announce that Gareth Spensley, Molinare’s Head of Grading, has been nominated for the RTS Craft & Design Award for his grade on The Hour – Kudos’s glamorous six part drama series which lead viewers behind the scenes of a ground-breaking topical news programme in 1956.

Gareth created the grade to subtly reflect the era without overpowering the emotion of the story. The show was shot digitally on the Arri D21, but the creative brief from the client was to give the pictures a rich filmic look.

The results were fantastic, with Chris Seager (Director of Photography for the series) saying that he was “delighted with the final look – the grade achieved everything we set out to create, and more.”
