Lighting additions to Warhola Studios

We worked with Sam at Brightline to get us started with 6 new studio fluorescent fixtures for back/floor lighting and fill/key. Equipped with intensifiers, egg crates, and DMX control to dim.

Studio Construction

I wanted to share some recent photos on the blog of our new studio build.  The cyc wall has been delivered and the new wall is up and ready for primer.  Also the 16' x 26' grid is finished.

Warhola Productions and Studios moved to the Strip!

Penn Brewery New Website with Photography by Warhola Productions

Pittsburgh's favorite microbrewery, Penn Brewery, launched their new website yesterday.  Most of the photos on the site were taken by Warhola Productions during a few sessions this summer.  Also, all of the product beer photos on the beer pages were taken in our studio with some Adobe Photoshop help from Warhola's Jessica Mastrean.  Take a look at www.pennbrew.com

The New Mac Pros Improve Workflow at Warhola Productions

We are always looking for ways to speed up our workflow to be able to turn around projects quickly and provide the highest quality of work.  The new Mac Pros enable 4k editing capabilities, but also offer unparalleled speed through dual graphics cards and the latest processors.  Combined with Promise Pegasus Thunderbolt 2 RAID storage on each machine, we are ready for the future!  Adding Apple's ProRes intermediate codec to our workflow helps reduce file size, while maintaining a superb image for renders and mastering.  

One of our two new Mac Pros (with the cover off)... Looks a bit like a droid from Star Wars, no?

On the way...

In keeping up with the high demands of our post-production needs, Warhola is adding two of the brand new Apple Mac Pro's to our editing workflow.  These hot items are on backorder and due in soon, but in the meantime we are outfitting them with new Geekdesk adjustable desks to hold the sleek new towers, and the Promise Pegasus R2 hard drive RAID systems loaded with 22TB each!  

Each new system will also sport 2 new Thunderbolt displays.  Stay Tuned!!!
