    BROOKLYN, NY --

    Design-driven production company Transistor Studios has hired Nicola Finn as executive producer. The Londoner has joined the team at Transistor’s headquarters in Brooklyn where she will help to generate new business from around the globe. Her new role also involves production and talent recruitment.

    Finn has extensive experience in film production, having worked at agencies and brands around the world including Mother, Wieden + Kennedy, 180, BBH and Nike. Most recently she was managing director and EP for three years at Passion Pictures, a multiple Oscar-winning international animation and film company.

    In 2008, when she launched Strange Beast, a London design-focused production company, Finn signed Transistor Studios for UK representation. Together with Transistor’s exec producer, Damon Meena, executive creative director Aaron Baumle and creative director Jamie Rockaway, she produced the multi award-winning BBC “Medieval Mind” trailer.

    Finn’s appointment has coincided with the studio winning the pitch to re-brand Nickelodeon’s Nick at Nite channel. Transistor has also recently released several new projects, including titles and in-program graphics for Showtime docuseries “Dark Net” and a series of promos for new History Channel series “Join or Die”, which use a unique illustrative look combined with a mix of cel and 2D animation to mirror the tone of the series. Finn will be based in the new Transistor Studios headquarters on Wythe Avenue in Brooklyn. The studio’s warehouse feel is complemented by custom-built and vintage furnishings. Artwork has been specially created by the Transistor team, including a mural designed by art director Lyejm Kallas-Lewis and painted by Lauren Meena.

    A Closer Look At Proposed Measures Designed To Curb Google’s Search Monopoly

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    U.S. regulators are proposing aggressive measures to restore competition to the online search market after a federal judge ruled Google maintained an illegal monopoly for the last decade.

    The sweeping set of recommendations filed late Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Justice could radically alter Google's business, including possibly spinning off the Chrome web browser and syndicating its search data to competitors. Even if the courts adopt the blueprint, Google isn't likely to make any significant changes until 2026 at the earliest, because of the legal system's slow-moving wheels.

    Here's what it all means:

    What is the Justice Department's goal?
    Federal prosecutors are cracking down on Google in a case originally filed during near the end of then-President Donald Trump's first term. Officials say the main goal of these proposals is to get Google to stop leveraging its dominant search engine to illegally squelch competition and stifle innovation.

    "The playing field is not level because of Google's conduct, and Google's quality reflects the ill-gotten gains of an advantage illegally acquired," the Justice Department asserted in its recommendations. "The remedy must close this gap and deprive Google of these advantages."

    Not surprisingly, Google sees things much differently. The Justice Department's "wildly overbroad proposal goes miles beyond the Court's decision," Kent Walker, Google's chief legal officer, asserted in a blog post. "It would break a range of Google products — even beyond search — that people love and find helpful in their everyday lives."

    It's still possible that the Justice Department could ease off on its attempts to break up Google, especially if President-elect Donald Trump... Read More
