Yeah...we toot our own horn around here...

Paul Blaise from Blaise Media just sent us a very nice letter.

Its awesome when the extraordinary trust that people place in you is vindicated by their incredible leaps in performance and productivity after an installation like this.

If you have an opportunity to stop by Blaise Media, ask Paul to show you their edit suite. And if you need work done in the Sacramento area, Blaise and crew are immensely talented at production and post.
