RingSide Creative President Steve Wild has announced a strategic partnership with Jeff Moon Production Services, Inc. (JMPSI) and Moonlink Satellite, Inc. The new venture, Moonlink Studios, becomes the largest single source provider of production and satellite services in Michigan.
“We are very excited to develop this relationship with JMPSI and Moonlink Satellite,” said Wild. “By combining the talent and expertise of each group, our clients will benefit from a depth of services unmatched in the Metro-Detroit area, and we gain the ability to service clients all over the world.”
Moonlink Studios will be headquartered within the Oak Park offices of RingSide Creative and will offer studios, live shots, satellite trucks, crew, and camera & equipment packages. With two live studios currently online, located in Detroit and Oak Park, Moonlink Studios can provide live shots or tape feeds for network broadcasters. Moonlink Studios is adding 2 other locations in the upcoming months in Warren and Ann Arbor for even greater convenience for clients anywhere in the greater Detroit area.
Through this collaboration, RingSide Creative’s sound stage on Combermere Street in Troy, MI will become part of the Moonlink Studios offerings. With 8,000 square feet and 210′ of continuous cyc, Moonlink’s stage suits any type of production, from shooting cars and tabletops to green screen and feature films. Most recently it served as a location for the Hallmark Hall of Fame made-for-television movie “Have a Little Faith” based on the bestselling book by Mitch Albom, currently shooting in Michigan.
Additionally, Moonlink Studios operates four satellite trucks with C-band / KU-band / HD & SD capabilities, allowing for uplink/downlink services at any location, covering primarily the Midwest and Eastern half of the United States. By offering the largest staff and unlimited equipment combinations, Moonlink Studios provides multiple HD camera packages, technical expertise, ENG live shot packages, crews, multi-cam systems and more.
“The benefit of this partnership is combining our highly skilled talent and resources together under one roof,” adds Jeff Moon. “The RSC team has extensive experience with higher end commercial work, which is a good compliment to the business television, news and sports background of JMPSI. Ultimately we believe this will prove beneficial to all our clients, giving them a more well-rounded approach in which to service all their needs.”
