From the Field & In the Studio |

IN THE FIELD: we've been shooting a lot of footage for the alternative energy industry lately. Lots of nice images of the windmills at Altamont Pass and some massive solar panels on buildings old and new in the bay area...
FROM THE STUDIO: A lot of indie filmmakers have been stopping by the studio to help with mastering of their films for the SF Film Festival. We got a sneak peek of "La Mission" which was premiering at the fest, directed by Peter Bratt and starring his Benjamin Bratt. Also, local filmmaker Denise Zmekhol came through the studio to master her film "Children of the Amazon" for the international market.
