EDIT2 HD UPGRADE

During the coming weeks, we will be rebuilding our existing digital edit suite, Edit2, to achieve full integration of our Avid Media Composer HD editing system.

The current edit suite, commissioned in 2000, had given 15 years faultless service to over 100 productions. For the past year, since we acquired our Avid Media Composer HD system, we have been waiting for a suitable pause in production so that the integration and modernization of Edit2 can be accomplished.

For a company that ascribes to the "hand-made" approach to television production, the refurbishment of Edit2 is a similarly "hand-made" project, that will require over a months work re-cabling and reconfiguring the entire system, providing the infrastructure for HDSDI/SDI signals as well as integrating the existing analogue audio and video technology into the new suite. 

The new suite is expected to be commissioned in the new year.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC STUDY FROM ALASKA COMPLETED

A socio-economic study of the impact of the development of the Alpine oilfield on the Native village of Nuiqsut, Alaska, has been undertaken and completed for ConocoPhillips Alaska Inc and Kuukpik Corporation.

The study, a 200 page document entitled "The Next Horizon", has been researched and written by Adrian Redmond and Stig Thornsohn, and has involved four field-study trips to Alaska since 2012 with over 24 weeks fieldwork in the Native village of Nuiqsut and the adjacent Alpine oilfield. This project has been undertaken in parallel to the production of a television documentary of the same name, which is due for release in 2017.

Once the socio-cultural study has been published by our clients in Alaska, copies will be available on this website in pdf. format. Please contact Adrian Redmond on +45 20 78 52 66 for further details.

A NEW PRODUCT PRESENTATION FOR LR MARINE

As part of our on-going cooperation with LR Marine, Channel 6 Television has recently completed a location shoot covering the installation of a new pipe-insulation system on the chemical tanker Falstria Swan whilst the vessel was undergoing refurbishment in the Port of Fredrikshavn, Denmark.

With less than a week to complete the installation of their new Insul-Click pipe insulation system, LR Marine engineers worked round the clock to ensure delivery on time. A crew from Channel 6 Television was there to document the process and to provide footage for subsequent product information films. As is usual on such industrial assignments, Channel 6 Television also took stills photos of the entire process and will be producing printed product information material for LR Marine in the coming weeks.

Industrial film and photography mission such as this are a challenge for any production company. Whilst everyone wants to see great pictures, neither the installation team or the shipowner are willing to waste a minute of the in-dock time as the vessel must return to charter at the end of the week. Such are the conditions when working in the marine, offshore and petrochemical industries, where the core industrial process and safety considerations have first priority.

Channel 6 Television has previously produced industrial films for LR Marine and is currently working on other projects for the company.
