Brief Provide picture post for the series in which a team of scientists visit Hawaii to study lava flows.

How it was done Online stereographer and colourist Ian Grey and online stereographer George Dutton used Mistika to edit, grade and composite the two-part series, which is also airing as a four-part series on The Weather Channel.

Aerial helicopter shots, footage from active volcanoes, as well as underwater fi lming, all using different cameras, meant the footage had to be stabilised.

Grey said some “stunning” images of lava deltas were shot at a distance through heavy plumes of white smoke, which caused the lava to become lost and fl at within the image.

He isolated the colours of the lava, using Mistika’s range of qualifying tools to boost them and accentuate the warm hues.
