Company 3, Trix Launch Helsinki Virtual Outpost

Award-winning post house Company 3, a subsidiary of Deluxe Entertainment Services Group, has partnered with Helsinki-based post facility Trix to provide commercial clients in Helsinki, Finland the color grading services of Company 3's world-renowned artists. Like its 16 other outposts, this "virtual outpost" allows clients working out of the Trix facility to collaborate with any Company 3 artist based in Company 3's Santa Monica, New York, Atlanta, or London facilities.

"Helsinki is a hotbed of creativity that we're glad to be a part of," says Company 3 founder and president Stefan Sonnenfeld. "We're excited to introduce our artists and services to the burgeoning markets in the Baltics, Russia and Sweden."

The outpost is set up to ensure perfect calibration of displays in the two locations so that everyone at both facilities sees exactly the same images and image refinements--as though they were together in the same theater. This offers exciting new collaborative post production opportunities that once might have required a prohibitive travel budget.

"Geographic location is no longer a roadblock to having the best talent working on your projects" says CFO/Producer Aleksis Pillai. "Our clients can now easily collaborate with Company 3's gifted colorists. This type of access will shrink the world and revolutionize the way we do business."
