Chicago’s Filmworkers Club has installed a FotoKem nextLab system to help manage input from camera dailies through the color pipeline to delivery. NextLAB is a dailies-to-archive system which manages media archives to LTO and provides quality control tools at every step of the production pathway. It is also available as a mobile unit for on-set and near location support services. Filmworkers’ founder and president Reid Brody says “We’re pleased to be able to utilize the powerful attributes of the nextLab software to make sure that our mutual customers receive the services they desire in the most efficient manner possible. We have been managing and anticipating the ongoing changes that digital acquisition and file-based productions are bringing to our customers and to us. We have a long friendship and collaboration with our colleagues at FotoKem and as production and post become intertwined both of our companies remain focused on our customers’ changing needs.” Mike Brodersen vice president of FotoKem adds “The software is effective easy to integrate and customizable. Our relationship with Filmworkers is a practical extension for the multi-regional projects that filmmakers are involved with. This will enable them to work the way they want to work.”
