Post Oscar Best Picture thought….
shot on film, 12 Years a Slave - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2024544/...ef_=tt_dt_spec

Looking ahead to next month, although not yet detailed in the Cinematographic Process of the spec listed on imdb as I type this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2209764/...ef_=tt_dt_spec)

Transcendence was not only shot on film but……received a photochemical finish.

Simplicity and beauty….http://vimeo.com/87264444

Another one bites the dust…

Deluxe Film Laboratory – Hollywood Facility Closure Announcement

The Deluxe Laboratory in Hollywood will close effective May 9, 2014. The facility will operate as normal until that date and will be ready to process orders received in this period.

The capture and exhibition of motion pictures has transitioned from film to digital in recent years. Our processing volumes have declined sharply and as a result, the laboratory has incurred significant financial losses. This has forced us to make this very difficult decision.

Following the recently-announced closure of the Deluxe laboratory in London, our only remaining film processing facility will be the small front end facility in New York.

I would like to thank all of our employees for their incredible contribution to the success of Deluxe, their dedication to meeting the needs of our many customers and their loyalty in recent years as the business declined. Our employees have been the key to all of our successes as a film processing business.

While emotionally attached to our 100 year legacy with film, we are firmly focused on the future of Deluxe. In this historic time in our industry, we wanted to thank our customers for their business and for their trust. We look forward to servicing their needs in the entertainment media marketplace for the next hundred years and beyond!
