Hollywood, CA, June 23, 2008 – SonicPool, one of Hollywood’s leading post facilities, specializing in audio and video finishing, edit suite rentals, and full post-production services, has completed the online and coloring, as well as the mix, for a new, upcoming, indie feature film entitled “Weather Girl.” The announcement was made by John Frost and Patrick Bird, co-founders, SonicPool.

ABOUT SONICPOOL’S WORK ON “WEATHER GIRL:”

SonicPool’s Colorist Jason Yanuzzi has just completed the online and coloring for “Weather Girl,” for client Steakhaus Productions, and producers Steak Haus and Tricia O’Kelley (who also stars in the film.) John Frost and Patrick Bird have completed the audio mix for this film as well.

Says Yanuzzi,” This project represents more of a Digital Intermediate (DI) workflow process for us than a traditional online, since our online and color correction work was all done on a digital file basis. There were no dailies here, only digital files from the film itself, which was shot on a Panasonic P2 system. This is the first time we at SonicPool have utilized a DI workflow process for a P2 shot feature film.”

“Weather Girl” was directed by Blayne Weaver through his Secret Identity Productions. Says Weaver, “I couldn’t be happier with my experience at

SonicPool. The facilities are great, the staff members are all experts in their fields and they all seem invested in making a great product. I spent my entire time at SonicPool shuffling between the sound mix and the color correction/visual effects and through every step of the process I felt my film was in good hands.”

“Weather Girl” is the story of a Seattle morning show weathergirl (“New Adventures of Old Christine” star Tricia O’Kelley,) who, after learning her boyfriend (Mark Harmon) has cheated on her, is fired after freaking out on-air. Forced to move in with her little brother and to cope with being 35, single and unemployed, she begins an unlikely romance with a younger man — her brother’s best friend.

Daly City, CA — Following on the success of the updated ICON D-Control™ ES worksurface, Digidesign is pleased to announce the newly-updated ICON D-Command® ES worksurface, which features the same stunning aesthetics as its larger sibling, but in a compact design. As an update to the original blue D-Command®, the new D-Command ES has been stylishly enhanced with a darker color scheme as well as updated, higher contrast text and graphics for improved legibility in low light.

Like other members of the ICON family, the new D-Command ES boasts unparalleled integration with industry-standard Pro Tools HD® software, including complete recall of all session parameters, routing, and plug-ins. Expandable up to 24 faders, D-Command ES features dedicated central controls for editing EQ and Dynamics plug-ins, enabling mixers to make adjustments while monitoring in the “sweet spot.” It also provides per-channel control over many Pro Tools® processing functions, routing, and automation modes.

The ICON D-Command ES, which is currently available through authorized ICON dealers, has a manufacturer suggested retail price of $16,995 USD for the main unit. Additional 16-channel D-Command ES Fader Modules can be had for $14,995 USD each.

In addition to offering the new D-Command ES worksurface, Digidesign is also offering an 8 fader and a 24 fader D-Command ES Bundle that allow customers to save thousands of dollars by purchasing a complete ICON and Pro Tools|HD system bundle instead of buying the same items à la carte.
