At AlphaDogs, we take Offline
seriously. Flexibility, quality and experience are the
hallmarks of our editing from initial digitizing through final
online preparation.
Our offline options span the full gamut of HD and SD systems, including Avid
Symphony, Avid Adrenaline and Final Cut Pro.
We also also offer offline editing system rentals with 24/7 tech support through our partnership with Midtown Edit.
We can provide the cutting room and editor
as a complete package, or you can set up your own post-production
office in one of our rental office suites to work around-the-clock
on your own schedule (perfect for long-form projects).
High Definition
at AlphaDogs means the sharpest detail and most vibrant colors,
with the expert quality and personal attention that you’ve come
to expect from us.
AlphaDogs proudly offers the Avid Symphony Nitris HD
with the ability to Total Conform a project offlined on an Avid NLE - scaling all the way to uncompressed HD -
with the full suite of powerful tools from Avid's popular Symphony product line.
In addition, our Avid
Xpress Studio HD can handle offline editing at several
HD resolutions: Avid DNxHD, Panasonic DVCPRO HD, and native HDV. Our proprietary HD workflows
allow significant time savings when you're ready for online.
AlphaDogs also offers 10-bit uncompressed Final
Cut Pro HD finishing on its PowerMac G5 workstation.
Online at AlphaDogs
means cutting-edge technology combined with experienced talent.
We offer a wide range of video finishing services to cover the
whole gamut of digital editing.
The backbone of our online services are a
pair of Avid Symphony Nitris suites
that offer 1:1 uncompressed video for unmatched SD and HD quality - perfect
for final assembly and color correction. They are fully integrated
into our Terrablock shared network storage for maximum project
flexibility. For Final Cut workflows, we can finish on a Final
Cut Pro system.
Our editing rooms are designed for practical,
working comfort - no distractions from getting your work done...
unless you prefer to pass the time surfing the web or watching
a DVD.
Audio at AlphaDogs
means the sweet sound of a perfect mix. Whether your project is
a reality show requiring a deft hand to balance the sound levels
of multiple field mics or a documentary needing subtle finesse
to marry voice overs with music, our re-recording mixers have
the skills, experience, and hardware to exceed your expectations.
Our beautifully appointed twin audio suites
revolve around Pro Tools HD (fully 5.1
surround compliant). A Mackie HUI and full complement of audio
outboard equipment, including DAT and DA-88 decks, rounds out
the hardware package.
Once you’ve completed your AlphaDogs audio
session, you can be sure that your master is truly “finished”
and more than ready for its debut.
When it comes to Broadcast
Design, AlphaDogs lives and breathes its motto: “ahead
of the pack.” Our designers love to push themselves and create
visuals with stunning impact. Using the latest software tools
and constant self-improvement through training, we can take on
any 2D and 2.5D project from logo design to animated title sequences
and everything in between.
We also specialize in eye-catching menu design
for feature film DVDs. Whether your project needs a basic set
of still-graphic menu pages or a large number of complex animated
menus, we can put together a visual package that will make your
DVD stand out from the rest.
Digital Service Station
is an ancilliary business developed by AlphaDogs to serve the
needs of the independent producer/editor with their own system.
We offer a revolutionary concept: a one-stop-shop for transferring
your videotapes to digital media on firewire drives (configured
for your editing system) and then back out to videotape once you’ve
completed your cut.
Our tiered service allows a wide range of
options from basic do-it-yourself (we provide a room and get you
started) to assistant editor logging and one-pass “best-light”
color correction (great unsupervised overnight options).
This process especially benefits clients
who live or work far from a city with post-production facilities:
ship us your tapes and we’ll ship you the media drives (and vice
versa).
