WORK-IN-PROGRESS SCREENINGS
In this age of laptop editing, filmmakers can be shocked when they see their film on the big screen for the first time. Our digital cinema screening room is a great resource that allows you to view your fine cut before locking picture, enabling your team to make final decisions about everything, from the quality of archival and stock clips to framing, motion effects and text styling.

CHECKING FINAL MASTERS – CLIENT AND CREW SCREENINGS
