VOLT OPENS, COMPLETES FIRST PROJECT
Medin built his reputation as a digital artist during tenures at Crash
& Sue's and Pixel Farm, where he worked on projects for Target,
Payless, Best Buy and Porsche. He first met EP Charlie Lach at City
Post in 1993 and the duo later reconnected at Crash & Sue's, where
Lach served as the company's president for eight years. They joined
forces last year and began developing what is now Volt.
The new studio is outfitted with Autodesk Smoke 2K, running on Linux
with full surround sound monitoring; Avid Adrenaline HD, running on a
MacPro with Dual Quad-core processors; and Final Cut Pro HD, running on
a MacPro workstation with dual Quad-core processors. Additional
graphics workstations are loaded with Apple’s Studio and Adobe CS
software. Volt also offers HD mastering to HDCAM SR 4:4:4 or standard
HDCAXM, as well as SD mastering to Digital Betacam. DV, DVCAM and HDV
services are available too. In addition, the studio can provide DVD
authoring and replication, as well as encoding services.
Chris Chiabotti serves a Final Cut editor at the studio, which
recently completed work on its first project, a spot for Best Buy
featuring NFL star Devon
Hester. The studio teamed with Gasket to create a range of effect for
the commercial. Take It To The Limit was sound designed and mixed by BWN.
