It was a pleasure to do the picture finishing for Through the Darkness at Blue Table, a film by producer/director Hilan Warshaw. THROUGH THE DARKNESS is the story of a friendship between two artistic rebels, Arnold Schoenberg and Richard Gerstl. It is a story that would change their lives and modern culture forever.

Everyone knows Warren Buffett, but you may not know his sister Doris Buffett who led a life of generosity, not only financially- helping many in need, but in humor and spirit. Blue Table was proud to work with Dan Klein Films to bring this tribute to life. Edited by #DanaBol at Blue Table and finished by our re-recording mixer #RichCutler and colorist #BrianBoyd. (And we also learned that Jimmy Buffett is related to Warren and Doris!)

The Power of Practical Effects: The Making of "Mustang" - Film Riot

As much as we love visual effects in post production, it's always fun and inspiring to see what can be done with practical effects. Take a look at this article to see one man's quest to avoid digital effects that led him to build a full-scale WWll fighter plane cockpit. What are your thoughts about practical effects? #filmediting #brooklyn #brooklynpostproduction #visualeffects #practicaleffects

Filmmaker Grant Hobbs gives a detailed breakdown of how he used practical effects to create a life-sized mockup of a WWII Mustang fighter plane.

4 years ago on October 11th we were privileged to go to the White House for a screening of our first Blue Table Post project, We Will Rise, about Michelle Obama’s initiative to educate girls around the world. Yes, things have changed, but it’s still possible to make the world a better place. (BTW, the shot of the window is of people looking at President Obama getting in a helicopter.) @michelleobama #merylstreep @tgerber63 @girlrising @marketroadfilms #cnnfilms #girlseducation #barackobama
