Nice shoes expands with new colour suite and Caselight TWO systems 25 Mar 2013

As an independently owned creative studio, Nice Shoes is able to expand and evolve quickly to meet the ever changing needs of its clients. In 2012, the studio added several editorial suites, and built a custom suite and post-production workflow for a massive seven-screen film. To kick off 2013, it has added a pair of Baselight TWO systems, one of which will form their brand new colour suite.

The new suite has been added in order to take on more projects during peak hours. We saw an opportunity to offer our clients more flexibility and convenience, said Head of Colour Lenny Mastrandrea. We're able to take on more long form and non-broadcast work in addition to our traditional commercial workload.

One of the Baselight TWO systems was installed in Colorist/Partner Chris Ryan's studio. The Baselight TWO is fantastic. With its expanded capabilities and increased capacity, it really just makes my job easier, added Ryan.

Nice Shoes has been working with FilmLight since adopting the Baselight platform in 2008. Nice Shoes is persistent in pairing the best artists with the best technology, said CTO Robert Keske. With the Baselight TWO, FilmLight has included mobile solutions to expand our service offerings, which is key in an always evolving studio like ours.

Nice Shoes has always had a reputation for talented colorists and having Baselight installed company-wide gives their colorists much more creative control in the suite, said Arthur Johnsen, International Sales Manager, FilmLight. With Baselights networked throughout their facility, Nice Shoes is able to deliver even more options for their clients.

Johnsen continues, We are proud to partner with a company like Nice Shoes that continues to innovate and really sets the standard for excellence in its chosen market.
