Edit Suite Art

[Walter Biscardi]

[Timothy J. Allen] “The room looks pristine in historic film footage, but in the old days, I heard that it stunk like only that unique mixture of food, electronics and stale cigars can give a room.”

Ah, now if you could only come up with a way to do “From Here to the Moon” on Blu-Ray in NASA’s new Smell-O-Vision. Woooooo, that would be sweet!

Hi, my edit suite shares it’s space with the equipment room, needless to say it is dominated with equipment. Creating a theme in this techie environment was a challenge. When thinking about what to put up on the walls I got the bright idea to hang my test charts up in such a way as they would look like wall art but still blend with all the gear in racks across from them. I had intended to matt and frame them but since they are expensive and still used, I just velcro’d them to the wall. Hopefully I will replace them with Hi Def charts eventually and can properly frame this set. The photo shows the most prominent grouping, others are singularly located elsewhere. Although clients do take notice I don’t recall any specific comments. What does get a lot of comments is the predicta tv on the surface below. This is my clients surface where they can organize their materials they bring along with them.

Philco Predicta…. nice, Rennie, I’m a big fan.

We have a 1959 Predicta in our lobby, you can barely see it here in this pic on the extreme right side (sorry, small pic from our webstie)…

Does yours still work? Ours works with actually a halfway decent picture… we used to keep a loop of an old Rat Pack movie playing on it, but it gets hot enough to fry eggs on the back after an hour or so, so we don’t turn it on much.

Cool! it fits very well with your other decorum!

Mine doesn’t work and I would like to get it functional someday but I fear it may not happen. I also would like to try the following-

One of the neatest things I saw done with a dead one was the guy took the tube out and installed an Apple 17″ lcd monitor inside the plastic bubble that encases the tube. It was one of the 1st apple lcd’s with the thick opal rim around the outside. It fit nicely inside and it looked fantastic! The computer was under the desk and the keyboard was in front. Now-a-days you could locate a mac mini inside the cabinet and use a wireless keyboard. They look totally amazing with a rich color picture from an lcd screen inside.

I too have an office/edit suite. On the rare occasion when a client visits, I toss the clutter in a closet and try to scrape the dried coffee stain from my desk. In the old days food and drinks near a $50,000 switcher were a big no-no. Now about the only thing in harm’s way is a mouse and keyboard.
I have just a few things on the wall. The space shuttle launch has been with me since 1982.

I count lava lamps as art and I sport 3 of different colors and sizes in my small suite. Enstein sticking out his tongue is the only wall art other than a metal sculpture.
Laid back is what an edit suite needs to be. If it looks like a lab, it just aint cool.
