Blue Sky Studio’s (smallish) theater has this on display out in front of it. It’s a Moviola. I don’t think I’ve seen one since the “Bullpen” at the Marcia Lucas Post-Production Building swapped them all out for Avids. I cut my partner’s short for CNTV 310 with a Moviola, a grease pencil, and a Hervic splicer. Probably the last generation of film students at USC who used one.
It’s like the last of the V8 Interceptors. A piece of history.
