  • --

Prodigious, the content production arm of Publicis Groupe, has hired Steve Evans and Kevin Palmer as editors, and Andrew Granelli as sr. VFX artist.
 
The trio is the latest addition to the agency’s growing postproduction team, which recently moved into a state-of-the art campus in Brooklyn’s Industry City, where they’ll work on a wide array of projects for Publics Groupe clients, including P&G and Walmart. 
 
Evans has extensive experience editing commercials, web content, presentation videos, short documentaries, promos, music videos and claymation.  He has worked with top brands including Miller High Life, Samsung, ExxonMobil, Frye Boots, Folgers, Verizon Wireless, Old Navy, Jaguar, Microsoft and Intel.
 
Palmer has worked in both advertising and independent film, having cut two-time Academy Award nominee Bill Plympton’s animated features Cheatin’ and Idiots & Angels, as well as Zbigniew Bzymek’s debut feature Utopians.  Recently, Palmer has collaborated with playwright, director and musician Young Jean Lee on her short films Here Come the Girls and A Meaning Full Life.

Granelli, who comes to Prodigious from Click 3X, brings 15 years of visual effects and set supervision experience with high-end brands and complex effects. His addition to the team has driven a seamless experience between production and post on all VFX work.
 
“The hiring of Steve, Kevin and Andrew is part of our continued investment in scaling our filmed content production capability,” said Phil DeZutter, CEO, Publics Communications North America Production Platform. “We have a world-class studios in New York and across North America, and we’re committed to bringing in the best talent in the industry to deliver the highest levels of craft for our clients.”
