Sony F3 Is Here!

We are excited by
our new Sony F3, bringing Super 35mm Cine-Alta video production to Chicago.
* T2.0 PL mount primes
* ISO 800 rated
* >12 f-stops latitude The F3's incredible picture quality and low-light capabilities have been keeping us up at night, shooting in the dark.

Live Music

Live music and stage lighting is the most difficult arena to get quality video pictures. Kimberly was tapped again this year to create the video look as colorist/video shader for Austin City Limits, Lollapalooza, Coachella, and T-Mobile's "Live Rising" series. She makes GREAT pictures! Enough said.

In Education

With her vast video knowledge and prodcution experience, our own Kimberly Nicole was contracted by the City Colleges of Chicago to teach Advanced TV Production and to develop Field Production curriculums at WYCC-TV (PBS).
Can you say "Kudos!"?
