Editing

Here at Streetmonkey we use Final Cut Studio , the industry standard application for digital movie production, and all of our key design staff have been trained to a high standard in the use of this application by Apple certified tutors.

Our edit suite is based around FCP running on an 8 Core Intel Xeon workstation using an internal and external Drobo RAID for storage and protection.
We use a Black Magic HD PRO card for importing and displaying in realtime the full range of HD formats. We can also monitor in full HD in realtime on a 40" 1080p LCD Panel alongside a traditional CRT Monitor.

Our main edit suite can facilitate all modern video formats and correct in up to 4:4:4 colour if needed.
Final Cut is used extensively in modern film production and is embraced by many famous directors such as David Fincher and the Coen Bros. Recent movies edited using Final Cut Pro include Where The Wild Things Are, Burn After Reading and No Country For Old Men.
FCP is a very flexible system and allows us to perform complex colour correction (and many post effects) before we transfer the project to After Effects (AE) for more complex post-production work. All colour correction is handled by the additional plug-in software suite which is written by Stuart T. Maschwitz who has worked on a wide range of Hollywood blockbusters. This same suite of colour tools is also transferable to After Effects which keeps our workflow simple. Read more about our grading here.
