Austin Hughes of Hughes Pictures,
one of MacroSystem's top dealers,
has won two ADDY'S and an ADDY
Citation at the 42nd ADDY'S, 10th
district for his work on "Nosak
Raw", a reality-style TV series.
| Gold ADDY for one hour Premier
(infomercial on CBS Tulsa)
|
| Silver ADDY for 13 half
hour episodes (infomercial
on CBS Tulsa) |
| ADDY Citation for B-B package
" Nosak Raw". |
"Nosak Raw" was re-cut and is
showing from time to time on Discovery
TLC as "Saw for hire". Austin
says: "If it was not for the reliable,
solid, user-friendly Casablanca
editing system, there is no way
I could have produced a half hour
show from shoot on location to
air every 2 weeks. We owe a lot
of our success to this editing
system. Everything was shot in
Hi-Def, we did a lot of audio
layering and sweetening, it was
simple with the key framing feature
on the Casablanca; plus I saved
a boat-load of dollars not having
to send it out. For the skeptics
out there, these awards prove
that the Casablanca line of editors
are a great solution for production
houses that "have to git-it-done"
with broadcast quality and when
time is of the essence". I have
been working with film since 1973,
and when the non-linear age hit
it scared me to death. However,
stumbling over this fantastic
system, gives me the film experience
in a non-linear world. It is so
simple. You just glue the frames
together, and wow! it is done.
Thank you MacroSystem for this
great editor that I am using.
