Chris Gautreau Advocate business writer Celtic Media Centre, the Baton Rouge film production company, has secured its fifth office building and plans to convert it to a post-production facility. Sales records show the company paid $245,000 last week for the 3,100-square-foot building on 
Professional Boulevard near Celtic’s campus, which opened in October
2007 near Airline Highway and Bluebonnet Boulevard. Bob Bayham, Celtic Media’s senior vice president and chief financial officer, said Wednesday the building will house film and video editing suites and audio post-production equipment. “As films come into Baton Rouge, we’ll be able to do post-production work in Baton Rouge, as well as sound stage work,” Bayham said. “We’ll be capable of both audio and video editing.” Bayham said the latest building purchase gives Celtic Media a total of 121,000 square feet of editing and sound recording operations on 22 acres. Some of the facilities, including a 28,000-square-foot sound stage, remain under construction, though the company has said that the entire campus should be complete by mid-2009. Since the studio opened to the public in December 2007, several movies and TV commercials have been edited there. |
