We decided last week that the layout of our edit suites just wasn't working. So we worked the last week to redesign them on paper so they would work for the editor and clients. A couple days ago we started with Bay 1 and today we finished. We still have...
Yesterday the first of our plasma screens was mounted on the wall in the Machine Room and today the first LCD was mounted in Bay 1. It's amazing how much that adds to a room. Having the ability to see a large image of something you're working on really gives...
Yesterday we made about 80% of the changes to the workspace in Bay 1. We didn't have the middle piece of the desk but we put the 2 ends together and we can tell it's going to work. It allows for much better collaboration between client and editor. We also...
We've been in the new building for about 2 months and the edit suites have been functional for about a month. So we have a decent amount of information regarding how the rooms feel for the editor and clients. We've come to the decision that the original set up probably...
Today Sam finished the next webisode: "Moving Day". This video focuses on the the events of April 3, 2009, the main moving day from the old place to the new place. It actually came together nicely. I was worried that making an episode about a single day would be tough...
Don't you love it when you place an order for something, you get an e-mail saying it's on back order for 3 weeks so you cancel the order. Then you order the same thing from another place, you get the confirmation that the order was accepted and shipped only to...
Yesterday was the end to another busy week. In addition to all the stuff going on that I have already mentioned in blogs, we were really busy with client meetings, pitches and proposals. I just finished going through another one. I tried to look at it yesterday but was to...
David reminded me that I have not told everyone about the new members of our team. A little more than a week ago David found a couple newborn kittens living in a drainpipe in back of our place. He has since helped them get food and they have adopted us...
It wasn't easy and it definitely didn't go as planned, but largely due to the efforts of Rob Hill, we saw hard copies of the design specs for the new audio mixing room today. I'm not an architect so I don't know what half of it means but it looks...
Today we held our first production on our new stage. Well, it wasn't a real production but there was talent and a camera. It was a casting session. The stage is far from ready for real production but it was great to have the talent wait in the lounge and...
At long last, we have made the purchases for LCD screens for the edit suites. Despite my business credit card not cooperating for unexplainable reasons other than it being maxed out, we got everything taken care of. We landed on 2x 46" Samsung 120Hz LCD screens, one for the Symphony...
