Superstar Purchases Pablo Rio

Los Angeles based production and post company Super Star Power Productions (SSPP) has purchased a Quantel Pablo Rio 4KO colour and finishing system.

SSPP is the brainchild of Will Holman, who began his career in the industry thirteen years ago as an actor in projects such as 'Ali', 'Austin Powers Goldmember', 'SWAT', 'Hired Guns' and 'The Bold and the Beautiful'.
SSPP is not only a one-stop colour and finishing environment, but also a complete house with kitchen, living areas, bedrooms etc. "We're catering to a certain clientele; our goal is to offer a complete post production environment in a rental property - so our clients can live with the film and finish it faster. Building it in Playa Vista also makes good sense - it's LA's fastest growing entertainment hub - there are a ton of entertainment companies setting up here," Holman explains.
"I first came across Pablo five years ago through Michael Cioni (Light Iron CEO) and I've had my eye on it ever since. I've looked hard at all the other high-end finishing systems, but for me, Quantel is the perfect fit. Pablo Rio is the most efficient hub there is for finishing as a full package - with it I can do everything from conforms and edits to bringing in effects and of course color correction and deliverables, all in realtime at 4K.
"Of course, the quicker you can do something the more money you can make, and Pablo Rio streamlines the film-making process; it's a key part of getting projects from pre-production through production and post to delivery as fast as possible, more efficiently while delivering a supreme product in terms of quality," Holman continued.
"We're delighted to welcome Super Star Power Productions to the Quantel family," said Quantel Sales Director, Martin Mulligan. "Will has a clear vision of the future of post, and the all-round capabilities as well as power and quality of Pablo Rio are a perfect fit for this bright new company."
