Tender Bodies (full HD resolution CGI to 35mm)
Mixed in 5.1 surround at Sonic Arts and print mastered at Digital Cinema in NYC for Dolby Digital release on 35mm film,
Creative Capital has this to say about
Tender Bodies, the third film by Jim Duesing to be mixed at Sonic Arts, "Like his earlier films, this computer animation presents a dystopian world in which strangely mutant characters act out deeply familiar emotions. Anxiety, fear, and desire permeate Duesing's post-apocalyptic urbanscapes, in which scenes and situations metamorphose with the free-floating logic of dreams."
