Oscar & BAFTA winning 'The Hurt Locker'

Back in July 2009, trailer production company and regular client The Editpool contacted The Look to post their latest trailer on behalf of Optimum Releasing for Kathryn Bigelow's feature film 'The Hurt Locker'. We didn't know then that this excellent film would be as successful as it has been, winning multiple awards world-wide including an Oscar and a BAFTA for Best Picture.

The trailer was conformed from the HDcamSR master of the movie, regraded to balance between cuts, and graphics and transitions recreated to give maximum impact.

The trailer was transferred back to 35mm film and distributed to cinemas around the country
