How TV series Utopia got it comic book look:


Post Production 

This is the tasks that must be completed or executed after the filming or shooting ends. Post production isn't used for correcting mistakes but for editing, sounds and titling. This is the final stage of film creation and is always completed after filming or recording has taken place.

Post production is used throughout the series of Utopia to make the colours within the scenes turn into the palette of 1950s Hollywood. The three-strip Technicolor process used, comprise the opposite colours of yellows, cyan and magenta's in order to create boldness and achieve the comic book look the creators were after. For example the skies shot were often grey so within post-production were turned into the bright blues. This same technique was used in order to make the grass greener and to turn a blue van yellow.

Furthermore there is now plans to make series two even bolder and brighter as they now have more money to dress the scenes in yellows,cyan and magenta's.
