Then would you be willing to deny it? :-)

Flying Spot is a video/design/post/film xfer outfit in Seattle. They do some very nice work.

Seems a bit too connective to me, "Flying Spot", "Desert Spotted Eagle".

Nah, not connected in any real sense. They won a sports-related Emmy last year that Brian Keane scored, using a few of my sounds in the score, but that's the closest I've gotten to them. Brian and I joked about it at the time. They are getting a LOT of attention in the Effects/visual Design world right now. They're part of the same creative group as Post Audio, which is a fairly well known audio group. They had a big feature in Mix a few months back.

And the term 'Flying Spot' refers to an old type of telecine.

A group of us editors were taken on a tour of Flying Spot studios recently, here in Seattle. It's a very well set up facility -- mostly high end Avids -- with a huge server farm and a color correction studio that boasts a raised viewing gallery for clients A very Pacific Northwest restored warehouse building, with lots of old brick, exposed timbers in the ceiling and every aminity imaginable for the employees as well as the clients.

They do excellent work -- lots of high end commercial stuff. Troy Murison, who works at Flying Spot and is one of the officers in our videographer's association, kindly gave us the grand tour one Sunday evening and spent quite some time demonstrating the equipment. Avid is overkill for the kind of work we do in out shop, but it would be grand to have some of the capabilities the system represents. I love Vegas, but I can dream!
