    NEW YORK --

    Production and post studio Nice Shoes, based in New York, has launched a remote partnership with Crawford Media Services in Atlanta. The installation of Nice Shoes’ proprietary Remote Viewing technology connects Atlanta-based clients with the company’s talented color and finishing artists in New York as well as in their new studios in Chicago and Minneapolis.

    “Crawford prides themselves on offering more choices than anyone else in the Southeast. We’re extremely honored to be adding to that array of choices with our colorists and finishing artists,” said Nice Shoes CEO Dominic Pandolfino. “Atlanta is a sophisticated market that is producing great work and we are very excited to be a part of it.”

    A display calibrated to match exactly with the monitors in New York has been installed by Nice Shoes engineers at Crawford, along with a secure connection to the studio’s colorists working on FilmLight’s Baselight system, allowing for efficient, real-time collaboration, with no delay between New York and Atlanta. Clients can also connect for projects with any of Nice Shoes’ finishing or VFX artists as well.

    “Clients want to be able to work with New York talent and this offers them the opportunity to put their money on the screen instead of into travel budgets,” said Crawford’s Kathleen Fitch, sr. VP, COO Creative Services.

    The companies will celebrate the partnership with a launch party at Crawford’s Atlanta facility on April 30. “We feel it’s an important start to build the relationship with our remote partners and clients,” added Pandolfino. “We always want the opportunity to get to know everyone in person in order to develop the trust to work remotely.”

    Apple and Google Face UK Investigation Into Mobile Browser Dominance

    Saturday, November 23, 2024

    Apple and Google aren't giving consumers a genuine choice of mobile web browsers, a British watchdog said Friday in a report that recommends they face an investigation under new U.K. digital rules taking effect next year.

    The Competition and Markets Authority took aim at Apple, saying the iPhone maker's tactics hold back innovation by stopping rivals from giving users new features like faster webpage loading. Apple does this by restricting progressive web apps, which don't need to be downloaded from an app store and aren't subject to app store commissions, the report said.

    "This technology is not able to fully take off on iOS devices," the watchdog said in a provisional report on its investigation into mobile browsers that it opened after an initial study concluded that Apple and Google effectively have a chokehold on "mobile ecosystems."

    The CMA's report also found that Apple and Google manipulate the choices given to mobile phone users to make their own browsers "the clearest or easiest option."

    And it said that the a revenue-sharing deal between the two U.S. Big Tech companies "significantly reduces their financial incentives" to compete in mobile browsers on Apple's iOS operating system for iPhones.

    Both companies said they will "engage constructively" with the CMA.

    Apple said it disagreed with the findings and said it was concerned that the recommendations would undermine user privacy and security.

    Google said the openness of its Android mobile operating system "has helped to expand choice, reduce prices and democratize access to smartphones and apps" and that it's "committed to open platforms that empower consumers."

    It's the latest move by regulators on both sides of the Atlantic to crack down on the... Read More
