"I love this monitor!"
"My Flanders Scientific LM2450 (now LM-2460W) monitor has allowed me to work in new ways and to expand my business into new creative arenas. Coming from a long history of editing, working for networks, production companies, and big post facilities, I recently decided to strike out on my own working directly with content creators. To do so, I have beefed-up my equipment inventory so I have all my own tools for any type of post-production work. The most important tool I need is a high quality and full featured multi-format HD monitor. A monitor that not only looks good while cutting creatively but also has features I need for detailed effects compositing as well as a solid broadcast reference monitor for color grading and finishing for final deliveries. One of my favorite features of my Flanders Scientific monitor is its built-in waveform and vector scopes that both display on screen at the same time. No longer do I need to lug around a costly waveform / vector scope when I take my system to a client’s office or studio."
"Recently I was asked to color grade and finish the movie I’m Still Here, which was directed by Casey Affleck and starred Joaquin Phoenix. Casey and Joaquin produced this film on DVCpro50 HD and because of the way it was shot (using mostly natural lighting), it had some demanding correction challenges. I moved my FCP Studio 3 system into Casey’s office where we could comfortably collaborate on color and look. Since this movie was captured on video, I was working at REC709 color space. I used the latest Apple Color integrated with the Euphonix M C Color Artist series control surface. This combination of deep tactile control from the M C Color panel and critical image evaluation made possible by the LM2450 (now LM-2460W) made for a fun and rewarding creative experience. After my final pass of color grade on all 6 reels of the movie, I made an uncompressed 1080 10 bit 4:2:2 select sequence of portions of the film for print test purposes. This file was delivered to FotoKem in Burbank where they scaled it up to 2K and applied their proprietary LUT for the 35mm film stock we were using. A print test screening was then scheduled for us to review the print quality. To Casey’s and my delight, the 35mm print color and contrast turned out to be exactly as I had graded it to be on my FSI LM2450 (now LM-2460W) monitor. All 6 reels of the film were finished this way, delivered as files to FotoKem, printed to 35 mm film, and mastered for digital delivery for theatrical and digital exhibitions. Casey Affleck as well as the FotoKem personal commented to me and my post-production supervisor that they thought the color grading on this movie was excellent."
"This year I have used this Flanders Scientific monitor to grade and finish several series episodes and specials for Comedy Central, HBO and Bravo. Whether editing on Avid or FCP, delivering with files or on videotape, this monitor has given me a tool that guarantees the quality of my final picture image. All my clients have expressed their high regard for the work I have done using my Flanders Scientific LM2450 (now LM-2460W) monitor on their projects."
