HDTV + Avid DS|HD = MAGICK for the award winning Atlanta editorial, design, CGI animation and studio services firm, Magick Lantern. Yeah, it's a mouthful of acronyms, but the folks at Magick Lantern don't seem to mind, as the team celebrates adding HiDef capability with the world's latest and most advanced non-linear production system, the Avid DS|HD, to the company's editing facilities. The Avid DS|HD offers high end, real time editing and advanced compositing for standard definition TV as well as HiDef, allowing finishing at multiple non-compressed HiDef and SDTV formats. As a result, Magick's editors and artists have full control of a complete range of seamlessly integrated picture and audio editing, compositing, paint, animation, character generation and media management tools. The new Magick DS|HD suite features HDTV flat screen plasma monitors, the latest in DS software and graphics and effects plug-ins. Magick's DS also features the Avid|DS Remote Processing System that allows editors and artists to experiment and work with clients while intensive rendering is processed in the background. While all this new technology is great, Magick remains grounded, recognizing that the best part of this new suite is the Magick Team of editors and compositors, including Senior Editor James Powell, Senior Avid Editor Jesenko Fazlagic, and Avid Editors Nancy Rosette and Bazyl Dripps.
