LIGHTWORKS TURBO:

Lightworks systems have been used to edit feature films and TV programs since 1989. Some of them have been Oscar winners; most recently, loyal Lightworks film editor Thelma Schoonmaker won her third Academy Award for her work on the Boston crime drama "The Departed," which also won Best Picture, Best Director for Martin Scorsese . The Lightworks environment is very similar to editing on a KEM flatbed.

FILM EDIT SUITE

....and yes, some people still like to edit with the tactile feel of celluloid and the aroma of splicing cement. We have a fully equipped traditional film editing suite with an 8-plate KEM Universal 35mm flatbed, a 16mm Steenbeck flatbed, synchronizers, hot splicers, tape splicers, rewinds, bins, etc. We also have 35mm & 16mm Upright Moviolas ("Green Monsters") to go; weekly or monthly.
