Producers, a Maryland-based film, video, audio and motion graphics company recently completed production on a new television commercial for Dick’s Sporting Goods. The commercial highlights the mindset of runners and why they put in all the miles they do. The spot features U.S. Olympian, Shannon Rowbury, who ran the 1500m event in Beijing in 2008. Dick’s is the largest, U.S.-based, full-line sporting goods retailer and has been a client of Producers since 2006. nnThe commercial shoot took place over the course of three days in Austin, TX. Producers‘ Director, Rip Lambert, and Executive Producer, Ross Jones, traveled from their home office in Baltimore across country all while coordinating a crew of 45 and more than 120 talent and extras. The TV ad was shot on 35mm film at 11 different locations around Austin including Mount Bonnell and the Pfluger/Lamar Bridge.nn"This shoot was a real challenge, which we love," reflected Lambert, who is also Producers‘ president. "We recreated a marathon and a breast cancer awareness run, which as you can imagine took some planning. We also shot a rain scene near the University of Texas."nnExecutive Producer Jones noted, "Being partners with a nationally recognized company like Dick’s who really gets film production and the benefits of television advertising has been great for us. And for them to get the personal attention of a Maryland-based company with New York and L.A. capabilities has been essential for them. So it’s a win-win."nn

Goldcrest Post Speeds Delivery of “Severance” Season Two
The New York Times recently wrote that the just-released Season Two of Severance will “blow your mind”—and we couldn’t agree more. Created by Dan Erickson and Ben Stiller, the Apple TV+ drama is smart, spellbinding, distinctly original and packed with surprises. For those who aren’t already devoted fans, the show centers on Mark Scout (Adam Scott), leader of a team at Lumon Industries, whose employees have undergone a “severance” procedure that surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives. Goldcrest Post provided post services for both seasons of the show, including picture editorial support, sound editorial, ADR and sound mixing. Editorial for Season One began in 2020. Due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, Goldcrest supplied both onsite production offices and edit suites, and remote editing systems for individual editors, with everything linked to a central server. "Mixing at Goldcrest with our team has been a great experience,” says Stiller. “Bob and Jacob are in sync with our creative process and so good at what they do that the experience is always one where it's about how we can enhance the creative vision, with a baseline of knowing everyone is totally committed to making something as good as it can be." Diana Dekajlo, the show’s co-producer, says that the arrangement worked so well, they chose to continue the hybrid approach for Season Two. “We’re a remote friendly show,” she explains. “Whether we’re at Goldcrest, our studio in the Bronx or at home, our workflow is seamless. I conduct remote daily meetings with my immediate staff, and weekly meetings with editorial and VFX, and we talk to each other as if we were just down the hall. It makes for great staff... Read More
