Leading London facility puts third FURY film recorder into production

CELCO, specialists in digital film recording systems, has announced that London based digital and optical effects company Capital FX has purchased a third FURY film recorder and put it into immediate production.
Capital FX offers a variety of services for film postproduction and utilises the latest technology in addition to traditional film techniques. Capital FX specialises in front and end titles, visual effects work, trailers, and foreign versions. With CELCO film recorders, the company can accommodate all digital film-out requirements on multiple film stocks.
Capital FX added the third FURY because of the increasing amount of client output for both feature films and shorts from DV, Digi-beta, HD, and scanned S16mm and 35mm data it is receiving from clients. The FURY's ability to use virtually any film stock, plus its quality and superior sharpness, were additional reasons why Capital FX invested in the third FURY. As the new CELCO film recorders are added, they are seamlessly calibrated so that Capital FX can use each FURY interchangeably.
Jim Davey, Director of Digital Services at Capital FX, said: "The FURY has proven itself in our demanding production setting. The superior sharpness of the FURY, combined with its unprecedented speed, has given Capital FX a clear competitive advantage. The look from the CELCO film recorder is the closest to the original shot.
"The reliability of the CELCO film recorders, combined with the unparalleled support of the local CELCO European technical staff, makes continuing to invest in CELCO film recorders an easy decision."
John Constantine, Director of Marketing for CELCO, commented: "Capital FX's clients in the UK and Europe have demanding time schedules. Having multiple FURYs, which are superior in both speed and sharpness to laser and CRT recorders, allows Capital FX to not only meet these short time schedules but also provide the highest quality images to their clientele."
