AlphaDogs has End of the World Encounter in Burbank

Leading Burbank post house AlphaDogs has announced that it was chosen to provide post services for the critically acclaimed Werner Herzog movie Encounters at the End of the World which is currently in theatres nationwide.

CEO & Founder of AlphaDogs Terence Curren comments, “We provided all online editing and color timing for this project in our Burbank facility. Our colorist Brian Hutchings was able to achieve exactly the look the client wanted in our newest color correction suite.”

Brian Hutchings, AlphaDogs Colorist added “Color Correction for Encounters at the End of the World was all done in house at AlphaDogs using the Apple Final Cut Studio Color package. AlphaDogs installed Color along with the optional Tangent operator panels which really gives the feel of the Da Vinci System I’m used to. Color worked throughout the sessions without fault and allowed us to achieve the exact look required.”

Written, directed and narrated by Herzog for the National Science Foundation, Encounters is a never before seen glance at a hidden South Pole society. It documents the lives of 1,000 men and women living in close quarters in physically and psychologically challenging circumstances to further the goals of cutting edge science. The film exposes the psyches of this diverse clan while capturing the treacherous beauty of the Antarctic landscape and below water world.

Encounters has been honored with an Oscar® Nomination for Best Documentary Feature. The film has been shown at numerous festivals and won Best Documentary at the Edinburgh International Film Festival and a Jury Mention at the Planet Doc Review Festival in Warsaw. Encounters was voted one of Time Magazine's Top Ten Movies of 2008.

Bogdanovich finishes Tom Petty DVD at AlphaDogs

Runnin' Down a Dream project completed with additional Early Years sequences

AlphaDogs has announced that producer/director Peter Bogdanovich has just completed additional sequences for the new DVD release of his acclaimed epic Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Runnin' Down a Dream at their Burbank facility. AlphaDogs also finished the original DVD version released last year by Warner Bros. Records.

The nearly 4 hour long documentary chronicling the 30-year career of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, continues to receive praise for not only its content but the pacing, which makes it feel half its length while taking a leisurely stroll through the years in exclusive footage of the band and abundant interviews with numerous other music legends. The new footage further enhances a work already showing signs of becoming a classic.

CEO & Founder of AlphaDogs Terence Curren comments, “This was a very prestigious project from the outset and something we were delighted to have here at AlphaDogs. Peter (Bogdanovich) has just finished adding some additional scenes to the DVD completed in the fall of 2007. These include Tom Petty in his early years with Mudcrutch and will be added as special features to the DVD package.”

AlphaDogs provided all offline and online HD finishing work for the original DVD project completed in September 2007. Two of the companyʼs offline FCP suites were in use constantly for 12 months before the project moved into an online FCP suite for HD finishing.
