LAB 601 recently conformed the feature film, �Paranoid� for the Alpha Film Group, a film production company. Filmmaker Ash Smith worked with Editor, David Ballard on the Symphony Universal using the system�s scene to scene color correction tools and real time DVE hardware. Ballard also used the facility�s Avid/DS to produce the film�s opening sequence, generate sophisticated title credits, and create a dream like effect to enhance the film�s surreal scenes.
Nothing is more fun than playing with a new toy. LAB 601 and Dzignlight Studios recently acquired the use of a Sony Hdcam 60I camera. Pres. David Ballard, excited with his new toy, said, �I�ve really been impressed with its color saturation and detail. It is not hard to see why High Def will become the new industry standard. We as a post-house are looking forward to offering our clients the services of our AVIDIDS HD and being part of the HDTV movement.� Eric Deren of Dzignlight took advantage of his camera know how (and apparently his comfort with heights) to gather aerial HD skydiving footage at Skydive Atlanta, a local drop zone. The HD material will be incorporated into an in house documentary on freefly skydiving. �Watching our HD dallies kinda spoils you for standard def,� says Deren of the �def� new system. Dallies are projected in the HD room located in the LAB 601/Dzignlight facilities, the first and only HD screening room in Atlanta.
