The Peachy Keen Colour team remotely colour graded this series where heavy tow truckers winch and tow their way through epic high-risk recovery missions
Heavy Tow Truckers Down Under examines all the dramas and disaster scenarios within the five teams of truckers, who combine salvage skill-sets with super-sized problem-solving abilities. In heavy-duty towing, every mission is time-critical, bringing high-stakes, do-or-die finances and constant dangers to man and machine.
Senior Colourist Angela Cerasi’s colour grade for the intro sequence and lead into commercials was strong, bold and punchy: exciting and dramatic.
The grade for the rest of the show was contrasty, warm and slightly de-saturated, providing a cohesive and unique look for the series. The warmth of the shots imbued a metorphorical sense of hope – the sunshine following a destructive storm. Sections featuring the different crews of tow truckers were graded with thematic “team colours” to differentiate them.
This show was also released under the name Extreme Tow Truckers in some regions.
