SA Film Corporation tour.
This week we visited the SA Film Corporation at Hendon and I was pleasantly surprised with facilities available. Very interesting was the Foley “artists’ lair” which closely resembled a very messy shed but in a studio environment with lots of different textures to walk on, plenty of items to make clangs and bangs. There is also a viewing room, which is really a Dolby digital certified mixing theatre with a massive automated Harrison Series 12 mixing station, Pro Tools HD and Fairlight workstations. Of interest is the fact that there is a Syninet link to London which allows a director to OK changes and edits in real time.
The corporation has an impressive list of achievements but as it appears to be the case with artists in general most of the crew work on these films for love not money and also have “day jobs”.
