Cut + Run New York

Cut + Run has opened a new sus­tain­able edit facil­ity at 599 Broad­way in NYC in a build­ing we first admired back in 1985  .  .  .  51% stu­dios’ radi­ant inte­rior for the award win­ning edi­tors of An Incon­ve­nient Truth mixes nat­ural light with reclaimed mate­ri­als to cre­ate an invit­ing and earth friendly edit­ing experience.

Recy­cle and reduce: The facil­ity embraces green build­ing strate­gies, pay­ing spe­cial atten­tion to pro­mot­ing the use of nat­ural light. A fam­ily of seven suites is crafted from recy­cled, light­weight and translu­cent mate­ri­als with a mono­lithic resin floor to reflect and amplify the nat­ural light.  No dry wall and lit­tle glass is used, and suites made from formaldehyde-free, post-industrial recy­cled wood fibre­board are sound­proofed with recy­cled jeans.

Suite inte­ri­ors are indi­vid­u­ally dec­o­rated and fur­nished, with one wall left pre­dom­i­nantly raw and fin­ished in a nat­ural soy based clear sealant. Split bat­tens enable the con­stant tech­ni­cal upgrade and main­te­nance whilst keep­ing cables dis­creet. Com­puter aided con­struc­tion by Show­man Fab­ri­ca­tors allowed a rapid fit out on site, and pro­duced beau­ti­fully clean interiors.

The com­bi­na­tion of translu­cent poly­car­bon­ate walls, top lit with dim­ma­ble low energy diodes and a mocha coloured resin floor give the over­all effect of a calm radi­ance. Five offline suites, a graph­ics suite and a new HD fin­ish­ing suite are the cre­ative heart of the space. All rooms have been the lat­est ver­sions of Avid and Final Cut and are SD/HD compatible.
