Deluxe New York, a Deluxe Entertainment Services company, has opened a sound mixing stage. This high-end space represents a significant expansion of the company's feature film postproduction offerings in the city.
Located in the 435 Hudson Street facility, the mixing facility features a fully outfitted stage for sound artists working on any size feature or TV project. The 18-seat theater includes an Avid ProTools Dual Icon board and full complement of inputs for additional drives and workstations and an environment 32-feet long, 25-feet wide and 16-feet high with a 19-by-11-foot screen. Projection systems are the finest available for film and digital projection, and the room is capable of audio playback in every format, including 5.1 and 7.1; Dolby SR, Dolby Digital (SRD); DTS.
"Recently, we've seen a considerable increase in demand for major mixing stages in New York," explained Deluxe New York's general manager, Domenic Rom. "This luxurious space offers producers a chance to mix any kind of feature or television project. For the many productions also working at Deluxe NY for their color grading or editorial needs, this top-flight mixing stage in the same building is an extra convenience."
As soon as it opened as a mixing stage, the renowned Supervising Sound Editor and Re-recording Mixer Craig Henighan (Black Swan, Snow White and the Huntsman) and his team christened the space for some work they were doing on a major studio feature slated for release next year. "The technical setup was completely familiar and the room sounds very good," Henighan reported. "We were in there as soon as the paint was dry and we could do our work exactly as we would at any top-level mixing stage."
"This theater is one of the best and most advanced in the city, and the very best in the downtown area," said David Feldman, director of sales for (sister company) Company 3, NY. "The mixing stage is a great new option for all feature productions interested in posting in New York."
House Calls Via TV and Streamers: A Rundown of The Season’s Doctor Dramas
No matter your ailment, there are plenty of TV doctors waiting to treat you right now on a selection of channels and streamers.
Whether it's Noah Wyle putting on his stethoscope for the first time since "ER," Morris Chestnut graduating to head doctor, Molly Parker making her debut in scrubs or Joshua Jackson trading death for life on a luxury cruise, new American hospital dramas have something for everyone.
There's also an outsider trying to make a difference in "Berlin ER," as Haley Louise Jones plays the new boss of a struggling German hospital's emergency department. The show's doors slide open to patients Wednesday on Apple TV+.
These shows all contain the DNA of classic hospital dramas — and this guide will help you get the TV treatment you need.
"Berlin ER"
Dr. Suzanna "Zanna" Parker has been sent to run the Krank, which is only just being held together by hardened — and authority-resistant — medical staff and supplies from a sex shop. The result is an unflinching drama set in an underfunded, underappreciated and understaffed emergency department, where the staff is as traumatized as the patients, but hide it much better.
From former real-life ER doc Samuel Jefferson and also starring Slavko Popadić, Şafak Şengül, Aram Tafreshian and Samirah Breuer, the German-language show is not for the faint of heart.
Jones says she eventually got used to the blood and gore on the set.
"It's gruesome in the beginning, highly unnerving. And then at some point, it's just the most normal thing in the world," she explains. "That's flesh. That's the rest of someone's leg, you know, let's just move on and have coffee or whatever."
As it's set in the German clubbing capital, the whole city... Read More
