Super Star Power Productions purchases Pablo Rio

Los Angeles production and post production company chooses Quantel as workflow hub for its unique post house facility

Playa Vista, Los Angeles based production and post company, Super Star Power Productions (SSPP), has purchased a Quantel Pablo Rio 4KO color and finishing system. The Pablo Rio is the centerpiece of this revolutionary new facility that is giving a new meaning to the term post house.

SSPP is the brainchild of Will Holman, who began his career in the industry thirteen years ago as an actor in projects such as Ali, Austin Powers Goldmember, SWAT, Hired Guns and The Bold and the Beautiful. Holman soon discovered a second talent - for writing and directing - which led him to set up his own production and post company to look after his own and friends projects. "On set I found that I innately knew exactly how I wanted scenes to turn out; I always had a directors mindset, so handling production and following through to my own post facility seemed like a perfect fit, Holman said.

What makes SSPP different from any other post facility is that it is not only a one-stop color and finishing environment, but also a complete house with kitchen, living areas, bedrooms etc. "Were catering to a certain clientele; our goal is to offer a complete post production environment in a rental property - so our clients can live with the film and finish it faster. Building it in Playa Vista also makes good sense - its LAs fastest growing entertainment hub - there are a ton of entertainment companies setting up here, Holman explains.

"I first came across Pablo five years ago through Michael Cioni (Light Iron CEO) and Ive had my eye on it ever since. Ive looked hard at all the other high-end finishing systems, but for me, Quantel is the perfect fit. Pablo Rio is the most efficient hub there is for finishing as a full package - with it I can do everything from conforms and edits to bringing in effects and of course color correction and deliverables, all in realtime at 4K. Of course, the quicker you can do something the more money you can make, and Pablo Rio streamlines the film-making process; its a key part of getting projects from pre-production through production and post to delivery as fast as possible, more efficiently while delivering a supreme product in terms of quality, Holman continued.

SSPP already has its first projects booked in, with post for a short film due to start immediately and several other movies to follow. "Our goal is to service low to mid-budget films, offering the same or better experience that clients can get at the larger post houses, but at a lower cost and in an environment thats naturally conducive to creativity - and more comfortable too! Holman concluded.

"Were delighted to welcome Super Star Power Productions to the Quantel family, said Quantel Sales Director, Martin Mulligan. "Will has a clear vision of the future of post, and the all-round capabilities as well as power and quality of Pablo Rio are a perfect fit for this bright new company."
