is a visual effects technology company providing the filmmaker with a systematic and comprehensive approach to state of the art traveling matte composite photography. Featuring the Digital Series of traveling matte backings including: Digital Green®, Digital Blue™, Digital Video Blue™ and Digital Red™ fabric screens and paints.
The basic premise for the business is based on the advent of computerized digital image manipulation and the impact these technologies have on how the original photography is accomplished. To this end, the entire system was analyzed from the spectral sensitivity curves of the motion picture camera negatives and video cameras through to the computer algorithms for matte extraction. Integrating the essential elements of camera negative, traveling matte extraction programs resulted in the creation of the Digital series of traveling matte backings.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has recognized this effort by awarding a Scientific and Engineering Award for the development of the Digital Series Traveling Matte Backing System used for composite photography in motion pictures (1996).
