Autodesk Lustre plug-ins
Workflowers developed its wf_x plug-ins for the high-end color grading software Lustre. The plug-ins add features to Autodesk Lustre software like compositing (wf_comp) or blend modes. Wf_bw plug-in was a special request from colorist Charlotte Mazzinghi and cinematographer Pierre Gill to develop the specific look of Polytechnique. Other colorists like Sebastian Göhs, who worked on Waltz with Bashir, and Martin Greer are also users of those plug-ins. The BW and Grain plugins were used on the "Paperman" Disney short that was color graded by Kent Pritchett and won the Best Animated Short Film at the 85th Academy Awards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrqSF2OOz_M https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paperman
