| "I am very, very impressed with Cinelog! I've been
using it on the Main Unit of Harry Potter since September and it has made
my life so much easier. The instant playback, being able to find reference
material so quickly, drag and drop editing and the ramp preview facilities
are all being used to best effect - I certainly will not be going back
to Tape again."

| "It's easy to use... quite flexible... and very reliable...I
think Cinelog is the best system out there."

| "It's the best computerized system out there," It Records
sequencially, but you can jump to any take at any time, review for the
director, change the speeds, do a lot of manipulation you aren't allowed
to do in the analog world."We plan to buy five or six more Cinecorders
in the next year or so."

| "I just love it when the Script Superviser asks if I can
find a take from the second series we did right before lunch yesterday...and
I can give her playback in about two seconds."

| "I wasn't really much of a computer-kind-of-guy,but
the hand-writing was on the wall and I knew I had to either go digital
or suffer the consequences. I'm happy to say that with Cinelog, the
transition has been easier than I could have imagined and, quite honestly,
kind of fun."

| "After using Cinelog steadily for over a year-and-a-half,
I can say that digital is very reliable and so much more capable than any
tape system I've ever used... and more flexible than all of them put together.
Cinelog really makes us look like heroes. It seems like you can do
the impossible. My clients really like that."

| "It's not all about features... Sure,
I need all the bells and whistles, but for Video Assist, the hardware has
to be rugged and the software needs to be stable... rock solid or my ass
is grass. That's why I did the research and then bought Cinelog.
I wouldn't use anything else."

| "Since dumping our old slo-mo tape deck in a deserted
ravine some time back, we now use the Cinelogic Digital System all the
time out here in the desert. Heat, dust, bumpy terrain, operators
pushing the wrong keys-- Nothing stops it. Not even coordinators
who do not want to pay for it. Most out-of-town production types
are surprised that we even have such new technology here in Arizona. Hell,
we tell them we were one the first to have one. The Cinelogic system makes
our life on the set a lot easier, more time-efficient, and seems to be
a magnet for babe PAs."

| "Nowadays, they're all shooting lots and lots
of film, often without slates or anything. I've noticed that guys
using Cinelog can find takes for playback faster than I can shout Let
me know when you're ready. As an Assistant Director, I like that
a lot!"
Robert Vernon
Assistant Director

| "I'm an Assistant Director and to tell you
the truth, I don't even care if the guy's using a Betamax... as long as
my Director is happy, I'm happy. A lot of these directors are doing
shots with over- cranking the camera or time-lapse or single-frame or still-arrays
or what-have-you... And the video guy is sitting there with his Cinelogic
system and he just says No prob! That makes everyone happy.

| "Video Assist has often helped me sell ideas
to my clients... ideas that might otherwise have been difficult to promote.
For example, ramping speed shots are hard for people to visualize, but
it's such a pleasure to see the Cinelog guy be able to demonstrate for
the client exactly what it is that I'm trying to shoot for them. It has
really helped me a lot."
