Encore and Level 3 Post, both Deluxe Creative Services companies, have entered into a new strategic business alliance with two major players in the production equipment rental business. Effective immediately, television producers can choose to receive extremely competitive package deals when renting camera equipment from the venerable Clairmont Camera and lighting, grip and camera support from William F. White International in combination with post services from Encore or Level 3.
The new relationship reflects the commitment of the four companies to offer streamlined, budget-conscious services to producers and is in response to the changing needs of clients in the current landscape of TV production. “Encore is a leading global brand for TV post and visual effects,” said Encore and Level 3’s executive VP Bill Romeo, “and we’re very happy to be in a position to join with other major players in the production equipment arena to offer this benefit to our clients. Clients have been seeking a one-stop shop for all their needs, from production through post, and we are confident that this meets their needs.”
“We are very pleased to join forces with Encore, Level 3 and Whites in order to provide an unparalleled level of total service to the production community,” added Denny Clairmont, president/CEO of Clairmont Camera. “Production executives and managers who take advantage of this offering can rest assured that a highly skilled and experienced team of technicians and artisans is working together to insure that each project will progress smoothly from image acquisition through final delivery.”
“This alliance will facilitate new growth for all involved, while providing clients with a cost-effective solution to their needs,” stated Garin Josey, VP, Assistant COO and general manager of William F. White International.
