    NEW YORK --

    Studios Hint and Nice Shoes have partnered, connecting colorists in New York, Chicago and Minneapolis with artists and creatives in Kansas City. The addition of Nice Shoes’ color grading team complements Hint’s full suite of creative production and postproduction offerings.

    “The area that Hint covers is impressive. Beyond Kansas City and other cities within the bi-state region of Kansas and Missouri, they have clients in San Francisco, Washington DC, Des Moines, Omaha, and Lincoln. We’re looking forward to collaborating with them throughout the region,” said Nice Shoes EP Tara Holmes. “They’re producing a variety of fantastic work with top agencies and brands, and we’re excited to be a part of it.”

    Nice Shoes Remote Services offer the same level of quality and convenience that has come to be expected from the company’s home base in New York, as well as newly launched locations in Chicago and Minneapolis. Kansas City clients will have the ability to collaborate seamlessly with Nice Shoes colorists Phil Choe, Gene Curley, Sal Malfitano, Lenny Mastrandrea, Oscar Oboza, Chris Ryan, Lez Rudge, and Ron Sudul as if they were working in the studio with them.

    “Technology has made it possible — and we believe that the needs of our clients will be better served if they can have quality color grading and other finishing services right here in KC, without the costs and disruption of traveling. Now, the artists at Nice Shoes will become an integrated part of their total post production experience with the benefits of lower costs and a broader talent pool,” said Hint CEO Teri Rogers.

    “When we launched this service, it was to meet the needs of clients who previously would travel to New York to work with us. We’ve built a great foothold with that starting point, but now we have the exciting opportunity to collaborate with those clients as well as with new ones,” said Nice Shoes managing director Justin Pandolfino. “This partnership is not just about convenience, but about uniting talent that has never worked together before, which I hope will spark new creativity between both companies.”

    The two companies will be meeting with local agencies in KC the week of March 21st and will celebrate the launch of their partnership on March 24th, with a kickoff celebration at Hint’s studio.

    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
