Our Advantage

With very few exceptions, today’s cinema experience is originated, edited and finished entirely in a digital environment. It’s important to know the differences between the chemical process that was used in the development film and the image sensor capture process that creates the digital experience. There are whole generations who have never seen a motion picture shot on film and yet the “film look” remains an objective of many movie makers.

Strategy

Our team has the knowhow and a few magic tricks to coax that film aesthetic from a modern digital capture system. We have an eclectic selection of high-end cinema lenses, some nearly 60 years old, from the days of the spaghetti westerns (image on right), that have been adapted to modern digital cinema cameras. It can take months to grind a cinema lens by hand and that quality translates directly to the screen.

We are capable of working in experimental forms of cinema as the new digital formats allow us to work in new and unusual aspect ratios. Bring us something that is hard to do – we love a challenge!
