  • FXF0601 INNOVATIONS IN POST -- THE NEXT FRONTIER with GEMINI MAN’s TIM SQUYRES, DEREK SCHWEICKART, JEN LANE and ANDREW LEVEN
    As movie-going audiences choose more often to view their entertainment  on the smaller screens of home theaters, tablets and phones, movies like GEMINI MAN  directed by Ang Lee and shot in 4K resolution, at 120 frames per second, for 3-D projection are intentionally built to create a hyper real immersive experience that will incentivize audiences to experience films on a big screen in a large theater with a crowd and participate in  vital communal catharsis.
     
    For the filmmakers, the choice to work in this format was on almost every level a technological experiment. For the post-production team especially, the format became a valuable testing ground for every aspect of media exchange along the pipeline.
     
    In this episode, I sat down with GEMINI MAN’s Picture editor, Tim Squyres, 3D Digital Intermediate Supervisor,Derek  Schweithart , First Assistant Editor, Andrew Leven and Associate Producer and Post-Production Supervisor, Jennifer Lane to talk about  why this pioneering format required that they construct their own mobile lab to process the media and how they believe the format ultimately supports better storytelling. 
     
     
    Frame By Frame is presented by Post New York Alliance because it’s how you finish that counts.
     
    This episode marks the beginning of a new series exploring innovations in post-production and the vanguard film professionals in New York that are  leading the way.

  • FXF0106-7 THE SOUND ONE ERA: THE END / REBIRTH
    In 2012, Sound One, possibly the most successful post-production facility in New York City’s history, closed its doors after 44 years of business. What caused the demise of Sound One is a point of contention between the clients, former owners, founders and staff, who hold multiple theories about why it failed financially. Some blame a distant holding company in Denver who some say were out of touch with the needs of the local community in New york and undermined the business practices which required creative and financial flexibility to maintain its base of both established and up and coming filmmakers. Others cite a long process of chipping away at the character of Sound One over a period of time during which the company was bought and sold five times to various entities.
    Here former staff and clients explain in their words, how the end of Sound one came to be and how in the wake of its undeniable force created new pools of talent and multiple post-production facilities in New York, all of them strengthened by the work ethic and familial bonds of developed at Sound One.
