LONDON, UK, February 08, 2000--Soho post facility, blue post production, has installed a Discreet flame* compositing and special effects system. Sold and supported by full-service Soho reseller Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, flame* has been added to attract more commercials and music videos work to the facility. Louise Lattimore, who has just joined blue from The Mill, will be the main operator of the system alongside Ron Ganbar, already at blue.

Customer demand was the key reason for the purchase of flame*. blue Managing Director Dave Cadle said: "flame* is a must-have tool to look after our commercials and on-air promo clients." It will be housed on a brand-new floor in blue's Old Compton Street building.

blue has grown rapidly since its formation nearly five years ago when it was founded with a staff of just 14. It now has 55 full-time personnel and provides the full range of post-production services.
