LOGIC STUDIOS CHOOSES A DIGITAL CINEMA PROJECTOR BY DIGITAL PROJECTION
INTERNATIONAL TO SUPPORT DIGITAL INTERMEDIATE WORKFLOW
MANCHESTER,
UK & KENNESAW, Ga., (September 26, 2003) – Digital Projection
International (DPI), an Emmy® Award-winning manufacturer of
high-performance projection systems, announced Post Logic Studios has
chosen the company's iS10 DLP Cinema™ projection system to support its
new end-to-end digital intermediate process - Post Logic Cinema Digital.
Post
Logic Studios' digital intermediate services, recently used for digital
intermediate colour processing on such projects as "Spy Kids 3D: Game
Over", encompass telecine, colour correction, online assembly, digital
intermediate film-out and down conversion from an on-site
1500-square-foot digital theatre at the facility's headquarters in
Hollywood, CA. The Digital Projection Cinema-branded iS10 projector has
been installed in this space, which also features a 24x10-foot screen
and 5.1 stereo surround sound.
"We
purchased the iS10 after a three-week demo in which we colour-corrected
elements for HD video and film outputs", said Merle Sharp, VP of
Engineering at Post Logic Studios. "The 4.4.4 capability allowed us to
stay in full bandwith colour space for colour correction monitoring.
The auto turret makes 1.85 and 2.39 lens changeover very easy, removing
the need for manual lens alignment and handling. It is very easy to set
look-up tables and match our film projector for film outputs. And we've
been impressed by the iS10's reliability and picture quality."
The
new Post Logic Cinema Digital theatre gives clients an optimal
"real-world" environment in which to colour time and monitor their
movies for film or digital cinema release with top industry colourists.
Masters for theatrical prints, as well as final files for all digital
and electronic release, can be prepped with full-frame, slow-motion and
frame-to-frame comparisons using the iS10 projector and a film
projector. These new capabilities enable Post Logic Studios - already a
digital mastering destination favoured by directors Steven Spielberg,
Sam Mendes and Francis Ford Coppola and DPs ranging from Vittorio
Storaro to Janusz Kaminski - to offer filmmakers the same level of
interaction and control over the look of a theatrical release that has
long been enjoyed for creating television, after-market video and DVD
versions.
"For the past decade, Post
Logic Studios has demonstrated the vision and commitment to
continuously embrace the latest technology and offer their customers
the very highest standard of end-to-end services", said Peter Nicholas,
Digital Projection's Director of Cinema Sales and Marketing in the
Americas. "DPI is excited to be playing a key role in the facility's
new digital intermediate service offering."
DPI's
work with Post Logic Studios further bolsters its reputation for
providing Hollywood studios, premier post-production companies and
screening rooms with high-performance digital projection solutions. DPI
was first to introduce DLP™ technology to Hollywood in 1996 and has
worked closely with industry professionals ever since.
