Hunger was a unique challenge in that it was the first 2 perf feature film to be attempted in the UK.  After extensive testing with DoP Sean Bobbitt, Dragon DI perfected a  workflow that made the very best of the unique source material. As well as achieving the faultless 2 perf scan, Dragon DI are also delighted with the creative yet restrained grade. Dragon DI then produced a full set of deliverables, including the print shown at Cannes 2008 which won, for director Steve McQueen, the Camera d’Or.  Dragon DI are immensely proud to have contributed to such an achievement.
