PostWorks, New York (www.pwny.com), the east coast?s most comprehensive full-service film and High Definition post facility, today announced the opening of its fifth telecine suite in its SoHo facility, placing it among the region?s largest telecine/datacine service providers. In making the announcement, The Lab?s chief operating officer Domenic Rom provided in-depth information on how this latest expansion fits into PostWorks? developments, following its acquisition of The Lab from Moving Images last year.

?While our film processing remains in Midtown, we have relocated The Lab?s scheduling and support staff ? namely, Mona Jackson and Vanessa Gonzales ? into PostWorks? main facility in Soho,? he began. ?The well-known colorists Jake Caffera and Fred Jackson are also now part of PostWorks? staff, handling dailies assignments for movie, television and music video projects ? and for Hungry Man, Picture Park and other leading companies from the commercial production market. With the addition of this new Shadow suite, we are fully prepared to meet the dailies demands for the feature film, television and commercial production industries. In fact, we are already handling the majority of the dailies for commercials shot in New York.?



As indicated by Rom, PostWorks? fifth telecine suite is built around the Grass Valley(TM) Shadow Telecine system, which leverages key technologies and features from the Grass Valley Spirit 2K DataCine system, including advanced CCD scanning technology and an all-digital design.

?Our acquisition of The Lab last year gave us the ability to serve our customers throughout all aspects of post-production, and with The Lab now fully integrated into our operations and our fifth telecine suite up and running, the value we offer our clients continues to grow,? confirmed Rob DeMartin, PostWorks? chief operating officer and co-owner.

PostWorks recently announced its work in handling dailies for six network television pilots, while also providing film processing support for a seventh. Those network assignments, most of which came from Los Angeles-based production companies, represent the company?s highest level of involvement in network television pilots since it was founded 11 years ago.

Content Insider #148 - The iGen
NO...Doesn't have a thing to do with "that" smartphone...or "that" store...or "that" tablet. It's the next generation. Kids and we mean little kids. That's what today's products are being designed for/targeted at. You happen to buy one...fine. Watch a little, little kid pick up a smartphone. He/she just uses it. They've come pre-wired and we're still trying to figure out how to IM. It's the IGen. They want it instantly. They want to use it instantly. They expect their photos, their video, their music, their stuff immediately when/where/how they want it. Read More

Insider #149 - Game Demographics
The blood, gore, adrenalin challenges that were unveiled at E3 and enjoyed at ComicCon are fun to look at, easy to hold but are they really the games people want to plunk down their credit cards to own or rent time with? Seems as though the investors, the players who control the controllers have a different idea of a "good" game than the kids who develop them. While mobs of people play educational, informational, stimulating games our kid huddles in his room and mumbles "The Few, The Proud, The Gamers." Read More
