D.P.'s:

"I've been shooting HD for four years, and for two and a half of them I?ve been using the Framestore. The ability it gives me to evaluate and match shots, to set a look while I shoot, is excellent. We do half the job of the [postproduction] colorist. Now they don?t have to spend all that time just matching shots. What the colorist can then do, in consultation with the producers and myself, is take the show up another level and create a broader arc of color and mood shifts."
Tony Westman CSC - D.P. "Dead Like Me" "The Muppets Wizard of Oz" "The 4400"
 
"It (Magic Lantern HD Framestore) gave us a crystal clear HD still of various points of the shot that we could use to check focus and for lighting and contrast reference."
Robert McLachlan ASC CSC - D.P. Carol Burnett's "Once Upon a Mattress"


Digital Imaging Technicians:
"On 2nd Unit we rely on playback material for reference. Usually this comes in VHS or DVD form. With the Framestore we can actually see the original footage at full resolution and make better decisions for matching on the spot."
Corey Robson - Digital Imaging Technician NBC Pilot - "Eureka" 2nd Unit "The 4400"


1st Assistant Camera:
"We all get to see 'dailies' right there on a full resolution HD monitor. In the end I sleep better at night."
John Seale Jr. - 1st AC "Muppets - Wizard of Oz"


VF/X Supervisors:
"The Framestore is a marvel to have on set: From colour timing to previewing composites, it has allowed me the ability to line up and preview visual effects shots (Keys, Tracking, Motion Control, etc.) via a rough composite – The system got us out of trouble before we even saw it coming."
Rober to Biagi - VF/X Supervisor "The 4400"


Post-production:
"The footage on the 4400 has a consistency which is as a good as a film best light transfer"
Achim Kapitza - Rainmaker Digital Imaging - Supervising Colourist "Dead Like Me" "The 4400"

"In post we have seen remarkable consistency of contrast and color in the footage shot while using the Framestore system."
Ben Bronffman - Producer / Post-production supervisor "Dead Like Me" "The 4400"


Gaffers:
"W
ith the Framestore, lighting continuity has been much more consistent especially when block shooting scenes or doing pickups." Simon Hunt - Gaffer "The Muppets - Wizard of Oz" "The 4400"
Simon Hunt - Gaffer "The Muppets - Wizard of Oz" "The 4400"

"There is no comparison between a VHS or DVD playback and the full original quality on an HD monitor. The proof is in the pudding . . when the footage we shoot on 2nd unit cuts seamlessly into main unit material we know that the Framestore system is working."
Tim Atkins - Gaffer - 2nd Unit "The 4400"
