MARINA & Roy Kamen have been at the front end of producing Radio/TV/Music & Sound for the advertising community for over 20 years operating out of their Times Square location. They are now excited to be housed in the up and coming trendy area of Chelsea in NYC. Kamen is now equipped with 58 inch plasma video screens where the talent can be seen by producers and creative staff while recording is being conducted. Two-way high definition cameras are mounted in all three of Kamen’s new state of the art control rooms and vocal booths.
High tech recording booths being pioneered by Kamen called “Vocal Vision” is the new wave of the future says award winning recording engineer, Roy Kamen. “… after all, glass recording booths are quite archaic when you think about it. Using modern technology is the way to go. We are even setting up the capability for out of town creative staff to watch the session via iChat and send comments from any where in the world”.
Chris Coccaro Producer at Merkley and Partners says…
“My team and I thoroughly enjoyed our session at Kamen’s new studio. The wonderful multipurpose building removed us from the rat race, and having the flexibility to use outdoor space and the lounge that doubles as the large “virtual” (connected by camera) sound booth during the inevitable “down” time further insulated us from the normal business humdrum. I thought the camera visual connection between control room and sound booth was going to be weird, but there was no loss or difficulty communicating with talent. In fact, I’d almost swear the session moved along faster.”
This incredible technology is housed in a luxurious building complete with fabulous roof top gardens, courtyards, marble bathrooms and fully renovated kitchens and bars. Clients may even enjoy using the full service Fitness Facility and Conference Rooms located right in the building at Kamen Entertainment Group, Inc. NYC.

If you consider yourself ‘creatively obsessed,’ you’re not alone. Envato launched ‘For the creatively obsessed,’ their first major brand campaign, and it’s an homage to creatives who are unapologetically consumed by their craft. In August, Envato launched a rebrand with the “creative spark” as a logomark made with a brush stroke punctuated with a dot. The dot represents the audience making their mark on the world. Envato’s Chief Marketing Officer, Noelle Kim, explains, “Our campaign taps into the relentless creative obsession that enables our audience to make their mark. They see the world differently—constantly in edit-mode, even in everyday moments—and we wanted to celebrate this passion.” With a collection of (almost) true stories, the campaign features creatives in high-stakes moments where their drive for perfection takes center stage, leaving those non-creatives around them feeling incredulous. From a sound designer fixated on the pitch of a siren to a lover distracted by the typeface of a condom pack, the scenarios capture the hyper-focus of the creative mind. The campaign, a co-creation between Envato’s in-house creative team, agency Force Carrier and production company Supaflr, reflects that very passion and attention to detail the campaign celebrates. “We knew we needed a partner to bring our ideas to life who would feel like an extension of our own brilliant in-house team—and Force Carrier was the perfect fit,“...
