“Please accept our most sincere appreciation for the amazing job
Barrandov Labs did for this production during 19 grueling weeks...
But most especially, the quality of the dailies was consistently of
the highest standard and exceeds what we sometimes get from labs in
other major cities. Every aspect of the lab performance, and most
especially timing, consistently clean prints, telecine, and fast
turnaround, was of the first order. Thanks from all of us on
"Blade II" to all of you at Barrandov.”
