EditLab is happy to welcome two new full-time members to our team. Susan Curtis is joining us as our full-time client services manager and assistant producer. Susan will be your ongoing contact for all production and post-production scheduling, special events, customer assistance, craft services and more.
We are also pleased to have editor John Oselette add his diverse skill set to our overall creative services offerings. John has been an editor for more than a decade on both the east and west coasts. He moved to Atlanta back in 1999 after years of diverse editorial experience in Los Angeles. He served as a broadcast editor at Turner Broadcasting for many years and has a firm command of editing, graphics, and broadcast design. Be sure to check out his work on our portfolio page.
Look for these great new team members on your next visit!

The holiday season is a perfect time for surprises, but this year a particularly memorable holiday treat arrived at the lab on Christmas Eve– a letter of congratulations from The Accolade Competition! Two months ago EditLab’s turnkey film production, “Grounded,” received three MarCom Awards. Now the film has garnered two Accolade Awards to complement them. The honors received include an Award of Excellence for outstanding work in the Training/Industrial Production category, and an Award of Merit for Film Directing for Michael Curtis.

Yesterday we completed the purchase of a new space at Studioplex, an old cotton warehouse built in 1906 that has been converted into loft space. The sprawling complex sits on the edge of Inman Park and Old Fourth Ward. We’ve been looking for a suitable home for about a year, but there really didn’t seem to be a lot of workable options. We wanted a space that felt open and creative while still being able to accommodate enclosed, individual editorial suites for our post work.

I had originally planned to make a post after each day of production on our latest film project, “Grounded,” a cautionary tale for the FAA about the effects of sleep deprivation. But after pulling 12-hour days on location, often in blazingly hot weather, plus another 6 hours of prep for the next day’s shoot, the idea of posting daily missives about the film was quickly abandoned! It will have to suffice to say that it is a very, very taxing thing to make a film. And it is far, far easier to go see a movie than it is to actually make one.

Jason and Crissy Hester are proud new parents of Patterson, born August 10th, and Danny and Jenny Powell welcomed home their second daughter, Joy, back on July 8th. Congratulations to both sets of parents!
