FOTOKEM ACQUIRES SPY POST, EXTENDS REACH TO SAN FRANCISCO

Spy Post and is home to a Spirit Datacine, a da Vinci 2K Plus realtime color enhancer, switchable Avid and Final Cut Pro edit suites, compositing and visual effects suites featuring Autodesk Flame and Smoke, and multiple 2D/3D workstations.

As part of the venture, FotoKem has launched a new VFX business that's housed within Spy Post. All of FotoKem's services will be accessible in San Francisco, either as in-house services or through a high-speed connection to FotoKem's main campus in Burbank. This includes FotoKem's global data management, nextLAB, stereo digital intermediate services and technologies, and film lab and post production services.

Renovations to the current Spy Post facility, and the installation of a commercially available stereoscopic DI theatre will begin immediately.
