Crews
If you need a crew to shoot for a day, a week or for an entire TV series, Atherton Pictures provides crews with network, cable, corporate, commercial, documentary, reality and feature experience. Any format is OK with us…Beta SP, DV and DVCAM, DigiBeta, 16 and 35mm film, High Definition and 24p. You need it, we’ll get it.
Post-Production
Editing can make or break your production. Atherton Pictures has two Apple Final Cut Pro HD editing systems. A full-blown uncompressed system lives in the office in New Orleans and the second system is in Austin. Need capabilities beyond editing? Specialized graphics? Animation?
