AJA's Io chosen for 'Naked Cannes' series

AJA Video has announced that three Io's are being used by Prime Cut Productions for editing 'Naked Cannes', a five-part series featuring hosts Sarah Lelouch and Thierry Colby delivering daily chronicles of the 58th Cannes Film Festival, as well as exclusive talent interviews with celebrities for E! Entertainment Television, the channel dedicated to the world of Hollywood celebrities.
“We are very excited that Io is part of the most significant film festival of the year, where the world's premier filmmakers showcase their best work,” said Ted Schilowitz, AJA Worldwide Product Manager for Desktop Video Engines. “Because AJA's products are known for tremendous dependability under the most challenging conditions, they are chosen for some of the most visible and dynamic projects being produced.”
Editorial of Naked Cannes is taking place in the Palais des Festivals by Prime Cut Productions, using five Apple Power Macintosh G5 computers with Final Cut Studio and OSX 10.4 Tiger. Four camera crews using Sony HDV and Betacam SP cameras are capturing the event.
Footage is captured and edited using the AJA Io's, on an Apple Xserve RAID SAN (storage area network). Rough cuts of the final shows are being sent to editors at E! Entertainment in Los Angeles via the Internet. Editors in LA also have face-to-face communication with their Cannes counterparts via Apple's iChat AV software.
Janice Kaplan, President and Founder of Prime Cut Productions, said: "We are so happy to be working with AJA and Apple because of their dependability and affordability.
“In the midst of the world's largest media event, it's important for us to know we can count on the efficiency of our editing systems, allowing us to be more creative.”
The series will air from June 6-10 in over ten countries.
