Ron Sabatino, Technical Director of HTV illuminate, commented on the sale by noting, “We meticulously evaluated the solutions that we needed to introduce into our workflow as our offerings expand and the facility was upgraded. After looking at the Film Master and witnessing its ability to act as central creative hub in the digital intermediate process, we realized that it is the strongest product available at any price point. HTV has created a process utilizing a number of high quality tools for the DI and mastering pipeline and Film Master was a winner for us because it is so much more than just a grading system.”
