It’s Days 127 and 128 on the construction of the new facility and we can finally see that the end of our journey is in sight. Still have at least another month before completion, but we can now see the entire place really taking shape. The drywall, sanding and priming was all completed this [...]
Ok, it’s been over a week since the last update on construction because it’s been a lot of little things. Some minor framing tweaks, a LOT of electrical run and the insulation. But today….. WOW! Huge changes in just 10 hours. Today was drywall day. As in 4800 square feet of drywall hung up in [...]
Two weeks ago “30 Rock” had a story arc involving the video editors of the show and how scary it was to go down to them. They controlled the video and you didn’t want to piss them off or else you might not get your stories cut. Over the top humor that I love about [...]
This past week has been pretty much full of cables, cables and a tennis ball. At this point the building has been inspected and is ready for “cover up.” That means we’re ready to have the insulation and drywall installed. So by the end of this coming week, we will no longer be able to [...]
Now that the electrician, HVAC and plumbers have done all their rough in work, we brought in 11,000 feet of video, audio and network cable to run through to all the suites. We’re doing all this initial work ourselves and Bob Zelin will come on up here towards the end to add all the connectors [...]

Can’t believe how quickly things move along when you have folks who really know what they’re doing. Last week was a flurry of interior activity with rough plumbing, electrical and HVAC all happening simultaneously. They went so fast, now I’m the holdup for the next step. We need to get all our A/V cable in [...]
Made our last payment on the framing today and all of the “quick and easy” work is now pretty much completed. The framing team did an amazing job and I’m very thankful for all their hard work. My buddy Jeanna and her family came by for the “skeleton tour.” A look into our kitchen / [...]
Went in today to meet with the electrician and check out the framing on the “room within a room” in the Client Theater / Sound Design / Color Enhancement suite. Very cool! Looking at the back of the Client Theater. You can see how the inner wall pulls away from the outer wall. There’s [...]
I’ve been getting quite a few emails from folks asking a lot of questions about Davinci Resolve and Apple Color. Specifically, “which one is better?” That’s a loaded question for a number of reasons, but not the least of which is, they’re both just tools. Neither will make you a better colorist just [...]
