Post-production on a three-part travelogue in which comedians Ed Byrne and Dara O Briain journey 3,500 miles from the capital of Malaysia to the jungles of Myanmar.

How was it done
Colourist Kenny Gibb completed the grade in Baselight, emphasising the contrast between the familiar bright lights of Kuala Lumpur and the isolation of Myanmar, giving the latter a much more aged look. For the online edit, Julian Nelson used Avid Media Composer with the Baselight Editions plug-in. This allowed for a renderless transition between the two systems. Dubbing mixer Nag Kirinde completed the audio using Avid Pro Tools 12, making extensive use of the iZotope RX4 noise reduction and audio restoration plug-ins to improve dialogue in noisy locations.
