Why Apple Pro Technologies?
Mobile Lab's main workstation contains the maximum configuration of processors, ram, SSD's and graphics boards in Apple's new, hyperfast Mac Pro, also fitted with the added Afterburner - a card defined as a "Game-Changing Accelerator". This monster machine can process contemporarily 6 streams of ProRes 8K RAW or 23 streams of ProRes 4K RAW.
The ability to grade native 8K is even more critical than editing it.
Mobile Digital Lab also sports two of Apple's brilliant new 1000 nits. 32" displays - the 6k XDR's, which can also display HDR. In the words of Jarred Land, president Red Digital Cinema "Apple’s new hardware brings a mind‐blowing level of performance to proxy‐free r3d workflows".
Grant Petty, CEO of Blackmagic Design adds;
"With the new Mac Pro and Afterburner, we see full‐quality 8K performance in real-time with colour correction and effects, something we could never dream of doing before. DaVinci Resolve running on the new Mac Pro is easily the fastest way to edit, grade, and finish movies and TV shows.”
"In my modest opinion, I can say that I bought my first Mac more than 40 years ago, and I've always preferred them to other operating systems, thanks to their ease of use and reliability; now that the new powerful multi-processor pro workstations have become extremely powerful workhorses, and offer the flexibility of numerous card slots, its a no - brainer".

David Bush & Mike Connor present a cutting edge editing, colour grading and DIT unit created by them & based on their wish lists for post-production after decades of production and post-production experience.
The system is placed on or near set and is designed to save time & money for producers while offering exceptional quality for advertising, documentary, film & television production and post.
The core of the system is an extremely powerful workstation based on a fully optioned Apple Mac Pro with Da Vinci Resolve software & hardware. The combination avoids the need to use the traditional off-line (or with proxies) workflow, then re-conforming on-line, and the time required for this.
With the Mobile Lab, it is now possible to work with a full high-resolution deliverable or master in HD, 2k, 4k, or 8k from the first day of shooting.
The Mobile Lab is both a lightning-fast DIT workstation and creative editorial, colour grading and audio editing hub - all within a single system.

Master classes in 3D production and post
I have worked on several 3d films as native stereographer.
When I work on a 3d film I follow production in pre-production, during shooting as on-set native stereographer, and in post production for fine tuning of the color and 3d for the finished film.
My personal experiences in 3d production have centered around getting feature production done as fast and as most cost effectively as possible, whilst combining the technicalities with my creative 3d experiences and suggestions.
In a recent 3d film I worked on - Fausto Brizzi's comedy "Com'è bello far l'amore in 3d” - I spent several weeks in pre-production in the rental company - Tecnovision / D-Vision in Rome - preparing cameras, rigs and solutions with their help to pre-calibrate 3d rigs so that lens changes could be done practically and as fast as possible. This contributed to helping the Italian production company Wildside achieve principal photography in 8 weeks, as planned, without any overtime, exactly as per a normal 2d film that they had previously estimated, and with director happy that he had obtained all the shots that he wanted for his film.
I also trained up the camera crew of China Film Group both in Munich and Bejing before starting the native 3d photography on Jean-Jacques Annaud’s epic film “The Last Wolf” in Inner Mongolia in April 2013.
I have also worked for Dunia Production in Jeddah to train for director Ahmed Kamel his crew in stereography so that they could shoot 3d in their up-coming productions in Saudi Arabia, and I also trained the crew for Adriana Trincea Cinematografica - shot in Italy's Alto Adige Region.
My experience in shooting and post-production allows me to create specialised training courses constructed for specific 3d productions, rental companies and specific film requirements.
