Veteran compositor/fx-artist/editor Ralph Scaglione is launching FLYfx, an effects and finishing company located within SoundHound on 45 w. 45th street in NYC.
FLYfx has taken delivery on a new screaming fast Autodesk Smoke 2009 system which includes Sapphire sparks plug-ins version 4 and The Foundry’s Furnace 3 sparks. Ralph, a seasoned commercial compositor/artist, decided to make the move to buy the smoke at NAB where version 2009 was announced. “The flame batch mode being integrated into the timeline was the deal clincher for me” says Ralph. “I love working in rooms with smoke and flame on the same machine so I can take advantage of the smoke’s timeline and the flame’s batch mode, now much of the best of both worlds is in this one program and I could not be happier, nice work Autodesk!!!”
The partnership with SoundHound was a great fit for both companies. SoundHound has eight high-end audio suites and three avid suites. The staff is amazing, the facility gorgeous and the fact that they have three flavors of HD decks (D5, HDCAM SR, HD DVCAM) as well as Digital Betacam for FLYfx to share, made it a match made in heaven, or at least on 45th street.
FLYfx will be welcoming clients starting August 18th, 2008. Get ready to smile!
