Deluxe New York, a subsidiary of Deluxe Entertainment Services Group, has launched online editorial and visual effects services for the New York television and commercial market.
The new services are as a result of a collaboration between Deluxe and Ben Murray, whose online and visual effects editorial credits include NBC’s 30 Rock, Showtime’s Nurse Jackie, and HBO’s Bored to Death.
Murray’s expertise goes beyond editing. He began working in the industry as a colorist in 2001, expanding his career to image restoration and animation. His body of work includes television episodic, specials, documentaries and feature films including Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story where he served as supervising conform editor.
Deluxe is making an aggressive move to partner with creative talent to add to its array of services. “Deluxe has been in the New York market for two years now, and we felt it was the right time to partner with top notch creative talent to complement our editorial and postproduction services,” said Mike Jackman, VP/general manager, Deluxe New York. “Ben brings a wealth of experience, fantastic attitude and immense talent. We are thrilled to be partnered with him.”
Deluxe New York is a full service television and film postproduction facility offering processing of both 35mm and 16mm film, HD/SD telecine, a full EFILM® Digital Intermediate platform, as well as Media Management services for film and video deliverables. A 40-seat new screening theater supports multiple-format digital and film projection in premier digital audio formats.
