What sizes are both Monitors and are they plasmas

Do you use the smaller monitor for grading and viewing or do you use the huge monitor for everything

How do you work

The primary display is 46" and the secondary is 32". Both 1080p. I use the primary one for working and the smaller one to the right for grading. I find that particular Samsung model to be apt. due to it's built-in blue-only feature. A first for a consumer television, at least as far as I've found. That coupled with Samsung's amazing control they give the end-user over the image quality (attributes usually buried in cryptic service menus on other sets) makes calibrating quite an easy task.

I have the one HDMI fed by my Black Magic Intensity Card (non-pro) from my Mac Pro and the other HDMI input fed by my Mac Mini. On the other side of the room I have a similar set up with another Mac pro but a Macbookpro as a secondary machine.

The setup is very basic and works well for me- it just looks a bit different because of the large wall mounted displays. The only thing "exotic" and/or priced above a typical set-up are the desks I chose. Biomorph Level 3 desks with individual crank-adjusting platform heights- I can't recommend them enough! Anytime I feel like standing and editing (to give the legs some blood..lol) I can hand crank the platform closest to me to standing height. It's got a bicycle-chain'like mechanism inside and is very smooth to crank operate. The rear platform does the same but is nestled flush under the display so there is no need to adjust height.

Finally, if you are looking to go the large display route stay away from Plasma. The technology isn't conducive to static imagery like computers & NLEs produce. However if you were to ask me which technology produces better TV/Movie viewing- it's Plasma, hands down. :) LCDs for computers and Plasma (and projection) for everything else.

Hey Jason. That's cool. I especially love the cinema room with the tiered couches! What a great way to showcase your work.

I'd love to see what the guys over at still motion did with their studio.... anybody over there want to take some pictures?

Christopher Glavan October 18th, 2008 11:20 PM

Maybe this will inspire more poor people like me to post in this thread =)

That's right, I edit on an iMac. Working toward an 8-core pro... eventually...

Jason Bowers October 18th, 2008 11:32 PM

Nothing wrong with the imac no need to spend a couple thousand more if not necessary.

Christopher Glavan October 18th, 2008 11:46 PM

Well, sometimes I'm running renders in the background in both AE and Shake while editing in FCP. I'm thinking it's worth it =)

Yep. Logging tapes right now from the day's weddings. This is my studio space right now. Please note the HV20 deck, 1TB of firewire disk space, borrowed wireless equipment, proudly displayed company branded hat, and box of cheez-its. Sometimes it's hard to edit when the monitor is bigger than a wall in your room, but the product always seems to come out right, so I guess that's what matters. :)

The thread isn't about how fancy or not fancy your studio is, its about how us seeing where wedding videos are made!

Well said, but I like seeing all these nice setups and studios and guest houses- lets me know where I can be in 5 years or so =)

KEEP THOSE FANCY SUITES COMIN'!!!
