With a resumé including work on blockbusters such as 'Alien: Resurrection', 'Independence Day' and 'Pearl Harbor', the effects and post production veteran has been a longtime user of AJA products. Collea's entire post production workflow depends on AJA products, including KONA, Io HD, and Converters. "I'm a huge AJA fan," says Collea. On his recent feature, 'The Gene Generation', Keith chose Io HD as the centerpiece of a fully portable projection system. "Using the Io HD, an Apple Intel MacBook Pro and a G-Tech G-DRIVE, we were able to create a system that allowed the film to be shown on a Sony digital cinema projector without the use of a tape-based VTR for playback," he explained. "It saved us time and money, and the picture quality was better than if it came off of tape. It was just incredible."
