"I jumped up and down to hear that my little TV show was getting this royal [HD] treatment... the pilot was done very cheaply, when we were nobodies. When I went back and looked at it, the pilot looked much worse than even the rest of season one. But these guys at Modern VideoFilm took such painstaking effort that when they were done, it looked as good as our finale in season nine. If you could see that episode before and after, you wouldn't believe the difference."

"The experience of color correcting Ghosts of the Abyss, in real time on the big screen in HD is a dream come true for me. After two decades of cursing the vagaries of photochemestry while color timing my films, it feels like we have rocketed out of medieval times into the 21st century.

I really enjoyed working in Modern VideoFilm's big theater, which exactly reproduces the size and feel of a movie theater, and correcting the color on my film at the touch of a trackball. And not only changing color, but hue and black values and contrast, and so on, and with power windows, actually changing the color in certain areas of the shots.

Working in the data environment, going from Inferno to I-Q to Da Vinci, we have performed hundreds of subtle manipulations to the shots without loss or noise being added, and the end result is as crisp and clean as the camera original. And to top it off, we've found that what we see on the big screen at Modern VideoFilm translates perfectly to film without requiring scene to scene corrections at the printing stage, even in IMAX. So it has been a slam dunk success of an experience."

"Visual effects work is really nothing more than problem solving. The folks at Modern VideoFilm are not only great problem solvers, but they do it with a panache that is professional, creative and, in the end, makes me look good."

"With the fastest start up of any network show and the tightest post production schedule, we would have not been able to make it without Modern VideoFilm."

"I have continued to entrust Modern VideoFilm throughout my producing over 80 episodes of one-hour network drama television because they are technically, creatively and professionally at the top of their game. There is never a question in my mind that they will do whatever it takes to get the job done right the first time."

"Modern VideoFilm discovered iQ very early on. They pushed it hard. They were a key partner in helping us refine iQ. The result is the world's first all-encompassing DI system. Look at the brilliant iQ work Modern VideoFilm did on I, Robot; awesome.There's no limit to where creative DI can take us."
