The Technology


Motion Science Labs

Developing new products as a result of solving problems we face in a given production seems natural--at least it does to the engineering types here that believe the shortest distance between two points is something they can invent...OR, the fastest solutions are often of their own innovations...
Our Factory team has a wide overview of many industries. Newly invented materials and components developed in other business sectors, often for widely disparate applications, are scrutinized for their possible use in production.
Jib arms, steadicams, dolly rigs of all sizes, and other camera mounting requirements are filled here. Should we need a part fabricated or re-shaped, we can usually do it in short order.
With the advent of LED technology, the lighting world of motion pictures is inexorably changing, and we are helping to introduce our production communities to new and highly functional lighting instruments.

OC3 Connectivity
(In Development)

Creating the ability to send real-time television, audio and data signals from our roof-top, the Factory will open an important communications portal for customers of all kinds--at prices and added value that simply was not available until now. Distribution of information, from live or taped-delayed broadcast shows, radio programs or data packets (used to ship accounting and other information to points around the globe) has long been in the hands of large corporate communication companies. As gate keepers of the distribution pipeline, they could charge enormous tariffs, or, prevent entirely the distribution of content as they saw fit.

Copper Meets Fiber
(In Development)

Multi-format. The Digital Media Factory name describes the needs our customers have for multi-format tools and experience. Once program or data content is converted to digital signals, it can be manipulated, transmitted, and stored in a variety of efficient ways. More simply, once our customer's signals are digitally transmittable, (regardless of the format they were initially created in) they can be moved at the speed of light via fiber optics. The copper wires we all used to depend on for transmission are definitely less efficient for virtually every distribution application. With much greater bandwidth ( to carry more data), fiber optics has less susceptibility to interference. Physically, fiber is thinner and much lighter.
