Slik introduces Mistika’s 4K and colour grading capabilities to Montreal
For Immediate Release: 25 April 2014, Montreal, Quebec, Canada – Canadian boutique post production company Slik has invested in SGO’s Mistika post production system to expand its 4K capabilities and colour grading.

Co-founder and editor, Philippe Fafard, at Slik states, “With its wide variety of tools, we think Mistika will provide us with a tremendously fast and flexible central system with the highest digital image quality. The real-time performance with online, compositing and colour grading in a single platform was a very important aspect of our decision with the short turn around we have with our projects. We expect Mistika will open new doors for our clients and team and we look forward to placing it at the centre of our workflow.”
Proud of their new partnership with SGO, Canadian Reseller 3vis is honoured to welcome Slik to the global Mistika community. 3vis President Sylvain Plourde confirms, “We are extremely happy to have Montreal-based Slik join the SGO family with their recent purchase of Mistika. Slik has a long and successful history as a boutique post production facility in the Canadian market. With this new technology they will enhance and expand their services through offering 4K+ resolution capabilities and high-end colour grading. As with many post production facilities, Slik’s pipeline is dependent on Avid and Mistika’s support for the AAF format which was an important aspect of this procurement.” He adds further, “We are very excited to see the enthusiasm around the SGO product line and delighted to be working with Slik on their new projects.”
Director of Global Sales and Operations at SGO, Geoff Mills concludes, “The team at 3vis’ energetic passion and commitment to expand the SGO customer-base in Canada is evident.
