March 2007


We’re very excited to begin post work on the independent feature, “Shut Up and Do It,” directed by Bruno Irizarry and opening the Chicago Latino Film Festival. It’s a fun comedy shot in 1080i/29.97psf with the Sony F900. We’ve already begun conforming on the show and look forward to having more updates about the process as it goes along.

It’s a few months away, but we’ve signed on to do the post-production for the latest Santa Fe Productions PBS fundraising special, tentatively entitled, “Brain Fitness.” We’re definitely excited about the opportunity, and look forward to actually learning a little bit more — the material is closely linked to the Posit Science company’s research and I expect will offer quite a bit of chance for us to experiment with some animation, which I for one am excited about.

Well, not outright thrilling, but it is nice to see our facility offerings expanding to keep pace with some demand. We now offer CD and DVD duplication with full color printing of discs. We can even throw together a sleeve and a case for relatively inexpensive duplication possibilities.

Along with that we’ve started to duplicate using the Taiyo-Yuden watershield dvds. In our tests with them, they produce an incredible looking, glossy, and truly waterproof smudge-proof disc. They’re slightly more expensive, but frankly worth every single penny when you look at the cost differential versus the other options of purchasing a laminating machine. I predict the price on these will drop at some point a bit and laminators will probably be out of business.
