Addition of Cutting Edge Display Technology Further Expands
Nice Shoes is adding new Sony OLED BVM-F250 monitors to its color suites. The first round of installations includes placing the reference monitors in both the colorist and assistant stations, with upgraded client monitors to follow.
“Sony OLED technology is a perfect match for the type of services that Nice Shoes provides,” said Gary Mandle, senior product manager, professional displays at Sony Electronics. “These monitors are designed to deliver the highest level of color accuracy and overall image quality, which is what Nice Shoes‘ clients have come to expect.”
The addition of the new Sony OLED technology to Nice Shoes‘ product inventory further adds to its use of Sony technology, which ranges from cameras to decks to displays.
“Nice Shoes has a reputation built on technological excellence,” said CTO Robert Keske. “Sony’s BVM-F250 is built with what our artists and technologists require: accurate color gamut, high dynamic range, and absolute color stability for both today and tomorrow’s critical monitoring.”
“Delivering on standards created during the CRT era is no longer relevant,” said Partner/Colorist Chris Ryan. “The BVM-F250 monitors allow us to work with the best image possible. We’re able to not only deliver to today’s standards, but we’re prepared for future standards and viewing environments as well.”
Nice Shoes Partner/Colorist Lez Rudge added, “With these monitors, we’re working with an image that is incredibly high quality, but also ultimately reflects what the average viewer sees in their home.”
“Nice Shoes has always enjoyed a close working relationship with Sony, which we’re excited to continue with this acquisition,” added Keske. “We demand the best quality and color accuracy, and that’s something that partnering with Sony offers us.”

“Ǝvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of Ǝvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscar®... Read More
