Recommendations

My highest recommendation to Barry Shankman as one of the Entertainment Industries finest. Audio/Video/Etc. production, with a track record that speaks for itself. Barry is one of the best in the business.

How often does a comparative rookie get invited to come in, sit down and "draw with Matisse"? Barry pioneered many of today's recognized industry workflows at a time when wags would tell everyone "it can't be done that way". From color restoration, both digital and analog, to the very concept of the digital intermediate, to all data acquisition and origination workflow, Barry has been not only a proponent and an architect but also the quintessential early adopter and developer.
