• Film and Digital – Operation Avalanche and Workflows

    Today I read an article on the Filmsupply blog – https://blog.filmsupply.com/articles/operation-avalanche/9 It is mostly an interview about the film, Operation Avalanche, that delves into the technical aspects of how they made the movie.

  • What  You Should Know When you watch the trailer or see some of the posters for Redbelt you get the impression that this is an action movie. It is, but not in the same sense that The Transporter is an action movie. The fighting is limited, the pace is somewhat slow and the focus is…
