It also offers our clients the kind of over-the-top amenities that leave them looking forward to coming back and working with us again.” “Our goal was to create a truly fullservice creative environment that would provide a seamless workflow, whether clients call upon us to work with them on a specific phase of their project, or take advantage of the inherent cost effectiveness of our one-stop concept through completion capabilities,” says Tyler Snidow, director of business development for Studio 108. “Once a client gives us the reins of that first job, the benefits of working with a team that approaches each project as a unit and collaborates through every stage of production become clear.” Among the new facility’s offerings are three master suites, each featuring Final Cut Pro, After Effects and Cinema 4D and integrating editorial, motion graphics and color-correction capabilities. Additionally,

the main level boasts a dedicated audio suite outfitted with a sound booth, Pro Tools, Final Cut Pro and After Effects. The facility also houses a 20'x40' live-action studio, which provides a complete arsenal of equipment, including HD and SD cameras, lighting packages, a rolling greenscreen, grip equipment and a set-fabrication workshop. Studio 108 also offers two state-of-the-art remote vehicles, which are fully equipped to accommodate location shoots. “Our new space puts the industry’s most cutting-edge technology at the fingertips of our team … in a creative haven where they can collaborate seamlessly, under one roof,” says Hartmann. “Innovative problem solving supported by strong client service in comfortable surroundings where creativity flourishes — that’s what the new Studio 108 is all about.” For additional information, visit www.studio108.com.

Codex Enables Pivotal Post Los Angeles facility Pivotal Post, which supplies state-of-the-art editorial systems to film and television productions worldwide, is using Codex’s Digital Lab system as the hub of its Digital Mobile Lab service. The mobile workflow is designed for backing up digital camera media, processing dailies and preparing deliverables for editorial and other post processes. The service allows film and television productions to perform on-set or on-location much of the digital laboratory work that formerly required a post facility. “Digital workflows have made editorial a central part of production, often in a near-set environment,” says Sarah Priestnall, Codex Digital’s vice president for market development. “As a result, it is natural that Pivotal Post should seek to extend the support it provides to its Avid rental customers by supplying them with Codex equipment and workflow expertise. We are excited to be a key part of this new business initiative.”
