Located in the hills above South Anchorage with a stunning view of Cook inlet, the Alaska Penninsula, Turnagain Arm, and even Mt Denali on a clear day, our Anchorage studio has a pure Alaska feel to it befitting this great land.

In March of 2005, we purchased the site and began construction of our Anchorage Post-Production Studio. We were soon operational with a 2K Digitial Cinema Projector (NEC S8-2K) with a 16 foot Stewart FilmScreen GrayHawk screen, a complete sound system, and several Avid Adrenaline HD systems connected to ~40TB of storage on a MetaSAN network. In 2007, we switched to Final Cut Studio as our off-line editing system with the introduction of Apple’s ProRes technology. In early 2008, we adopted Final Cut Server as our global asset management system with over 50,000 clips now catalogued.

Today, we have numerous high-end MacPro HD systems running FCP and a full suite of Autodesk tools (Smoke and Lustre) for compositing and grading. For viewing 2D and 3D images, we have upgraded the Digital Cinema projector to the NEC NC1600 2K projector with the XpanD 3D system. The MetaSan Network has grown to over 120TB and continues to expand. From a system perspective, the Anchorage studio is essentially identical to our Culver City studio, allowing work to be efficiently allocated between locations and providing secure (and geographically separate) backup of all data.
