    THE SPOT

    "Rocky KO" (:30) opens on blurry black-and-white footage of a man in a white shirt and bowtie, screaming at people in a boxing ring, as seen from someone’s POV. Suddenly the images become clear and it is revealed that the POV is from the eyes of a boxer who rises, only to be struck again by his opponent. The spot then shifts to video game footage of Ubisoft’s "Rocky Legends," which features Sylvester Stallone’s popular character in the ring with such opponents as Clubber Lang and Apollo Creed.

    Spot broke in September.

    L.A. Location Lensing Declines In 2024 Despite Uptick In 4th Quarter

    Wednesday, January 15, 2025

    FilmLA, partner film office for the City and County of Los Angeles and other local jurisdictions, has issued an update regarding regional filming activity. Overall production in Greater Los Angeles increased 6.2 percent from October through December 2024 to 5,860 Shoot Days (SD) according to FilmLA’s latest report. Most production types tracked by FilmLA achieved gains in the fourth quarter, except for reality TV, which instead logged its ninth consecutive quarter of year-over-year decline.

With just 23,480 SD filmed on-location in L.A. in 2024, overall annual production finished the year 5.6 percent below the prior year. That made 2024 the second least productive year observed by FilmLA; only 2020, disrupted by the global COVID-19 pandemic, saw lower levels of filming in area communities.

    The continuing decline of reality TV production in Los Angeles was among the most disappointing developments of 2024. Down 45.7 percent for the fourth quarter (to 774 SD), the category also finished the year down 45.9 percent (to 3,905 SD), which placed
    it 43.1 percent below its five-year category average.

    The two brightest spots in FilmLA’s latest report appeared in the feature film and television drama categories. Feature film production increased 82.4 percent in the fourth quarter to 589 SD, a gain analysts attribute to independent film activity. The
    California Film & Television Tax Credit Program also played a part, driving 19.2 percent of quarterly category activity. Overall, annual Feature production was up 18.8 percent in 2024, though the... Read More
