Superlight Studios Opens Santa Monica Facility Superlight Studios, an interactive advertising production facility, has announced the launch of its new Santa Monica facility, along with its expansion into feature film and commercial visual effects. The Santa Monica facility was recently occupied by MacGuff Los Angeles, a local branch of the French visualeffects house; Superlight has joined forces with MacGuff and become the company’s stateside production arm. Pat Hadnagy, Superlight Studios’ executive producer and general manager, heads the new facility, where he is joined by fellow executive producer Sarote Tabcum Jr. With a team of experienced producers, CGI artists, compositing artists, visual-effects supervisors, photographers and cinematographers, Hadnagy and Tabcum are in charge of directing Superlight’s expansion into feature film and commercial visual effects. In addition to its full-service facility in Santa Monica, Superlight Studios maintains photography studios and post facilities in several other locations, including Rancho Dominguez, Calif. and Troy, Mich. Superlight Studios’ new facility is located at 2403 Main St., Santa Monica, Calif. 90405. For more information, call (310) 362-2202 or visit www.superlightstu dios.com. PostFactory Installs DI-Grading Theater Berlin’s PostFactory has installed a new digital-intermediate grading theater. Purpose-built to DCI specifications, the grading theater features a FilmLight Baselight HD system, a Christie 2K digital projector, 7.1 surround sound and FilmLight’s Truelight projector probe for color calibration. PostFactory received the Baselight in September, and the company will also receive FilmLight’s newly developed GPU upgrade to boost system performance. A new version of Baselight software, with features such Leica Introduces D-Lux 4 The Leica D-Lux 4 is a compact digital camera with powerful optics, a 1:1.63" CCD sensor, 10.1 megapixel resolution and a comprehensive range of settings. Sporting a high-speed Leica DC as stereoscopic grading, will also increase functionality, and PostFactory has incorporated FilmLight’s recently developed Avid integration, allowing Baselight to share storage with the facility’s editorial and compositing systems. PostFactory has set up its internal network so that output from any of its post systems can be directed to the DI theater. The output from an editing system, for example, can be projected onto the cinema screen for side-by-side comparison with the output from the Baselight. For more information, visit www.filmlight.ltd.uk or www.postfac tory.de. Vario-Summicron 5.1-12.8mm f2.0-2.8 lens — the equivalent of a 24-60mm focal range in the 35mm format — the D-Lux 4 also boasts an integrated image stabilizer to reliably protect against camera shake in all photographic situations. The lens consists of eight elements (four aspherical) in six groups; the optics are individually matched to the camera sensor, working in harmony with the electronics and software. Furthermore, the large image sensor also makes it possible to retain the full 24mm wide angle, and the camera can take photos in 4:3, 3:2 or 16:9. The camera’s 460,000-pixel display has a wide viewing angle and enables photographers to make a reliable assessment of the picture composition when shooting and reviewing. The viewing angle can also be adjusted to ensure a clear view even when capturing extreme camera perspectives. Focus, shutter speed, stops and exposure override can all be set manually with the camera’s joystick, and for users who like photography to be less complicated, the D-Lux 4 integrates many improved automatic functions. Like the Leica C-Lux 3, the D-Lux 4 is capable of recording 30 fps video in high definition. The D-Lux 4 is supplied with a battery charger, a powerful recharge- 72 March 2009
