How Utopia got its comic book effect
Channel 4's flagship television series, "Utopia" is well known for being quite peculiar. In the way the story line is presented and the way it is created. one aspect of this peculiarity is the colour contrast of the tv series. The reference to the comic book effect comes from Marc Munden's idea of replicating graphic novels bold aesthetics and Munden turned to the Technicolor palette of 1950s Hollywood.
one aspect that gave utopia its comic book effect is in the post production stage, colourist Aidan Farrell and Munden, carefully colour corrected each shot, using certain colours like yellow, cryan and magentas, where as the typicall coulours used are greens, blue and reds. A few examples that Muden and Farrel coulour corrected in post production are making grey british skies blue, making grass greener and turning blue vans yellow.
