Nice Shoes, based in NYC, has continued the rapid expansion of its Remote Color Network via a partnership with Volt Studios in Minneapolis. The collaboration unites two rosters of complementary high-end postproduction talent, while saving both time and travel costs for Minneapolis advertising agencies.
The partnership comes following Nice Shoes’ addition of Ed Koenig as executive producer for color and finishing. Koenig, who has enjoyed a long relationship with Volt partners Steve Medin and Charlie Lach, was excited to connect them with the colorists at Nice Shoes.
“I’m thrilled to be partnered up with the team at Volt again,” said Koenig. “They have a great reputation in Minneapolis and I think we represent each other very well.”
“We have long been admirers of Chris Ryan and the entire roster of talented artists at Nice Shoes and are excited by the opportunity to offer these talents to our Minneapolis clients,” said Lach, executive producer/partner at Volt Studios.
The two studios have already commenced work on projects for agencies Martin Williams and Fallon.
Nice Shoes Remote Color offers real-time remote collaboration, with a secure HD feed and a display calibrated by the studio’s engineers, so the remote monitor matches exactly with the colorist monitors. Since 2010, Nice Shoes has installed the proprietary technology at locations in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, and New Orleans, selecting companies with comparable cultures and levels of customer service in order to replicate what clients have come to expect when working in New York.
