When “DRIVEN: A Race Without Boundaries” airs this Sunday, October 6, on FOX, viewers will watch two renowned drivers race the all-new Range Rover Sport across the toughest terrains and iconic speedways in the U.S. Director/DP Warren Kushner said that as he prepped the project with his team at K Films, his “first call” was bringing resolution LA on board for post-production. “Having (resolution LA Executive Producer) Michael Raimondi involved was a given. I have worked with his people so many times over the years. They’re collaborative, and as relentless as I am.”nnIndeed, resolution LA dived into the project with both hands, providing the end-to-end finishing, from color grading, VFX and graphics to audio post. “We love working with Warren,” said Executive Creative Producer Todd Iorio. “Like so much of today’s content, the production value of ‘DRIVEN’ had to translate across all platforms – it’s a long-form show for broadcast that features amazing vistas, action, and cars, all of which have to look and sound their best.”nnIorio noted that resolution LA benefits from sharing a roof with sister companies Union Editorial and Platform. “All forms of content come through this studio, including features, video game trailers, broadcast commercials and rich media,” he said. “It’s a unique home and with collaborators like Warren, K Films, FOX Sports and Land Rover, we have the opportunity to maintain the highest possible standard, regardless of the medium.” nn
nn”DRIVEN” is hosted by racing icon Tiff Needell, who treats us to a thrilling competition between 4-time Trans Am Champion Tommy Kendall and world champion drifter and 12-time Pike’s Peak winner Rhys Millen. It is a rivalry that escalates with each of the show’s five challenges: when all is said and done, Kendall and Millen will have raced Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats, Pikes Peak in Colorado, and Nevada’s original Mint 400 course, culminating with the competition’s conclusion in Daytona Beach, Florida. “DRIVEN: A Race Without Boundaries” airs this Sunday, October 6 at 4:30 PM EST (times may vary so check your local listings), with an encore October 13 on F

One doesn't have to be a statistician to know that there are fewer commercials being shot in the U.S. today for the American market than ever before, and a dramatic decrease in L.A. in particular. In the last five years, as reported by FilmLA (the office tasked with issuing permits), L.A. commercial production has dipped 31 percent. But here’s the thing: This doesn’t mean that L.A. has lost its importance as the production center of the world. Production in L.A. is vital. It is the go-to. It’s where you can count on access to exemplary crews, a support infrastructure second to none, varied location and backlot options, a large population of on-screen talent and (fairly) predictable weather. The fact is, with overall decline and now the devastation of the fires, we’re on the brink of losing this mainstay resource. Without employment opportunities and now many without homes, talented and trained crew are bound to leave either the industry or the LA area for other opportunities, unless there are enough job opportunities to sustain a solid living. Now is the time when we ALL must support and bolster this community. Production is needed in L.A., now! Of course, advertising is a business, and marketers’ money should be spent as efficiently as possible, BUT we have to think beyond each production and know that if we lose the incredible resource of L.A. production as we know it, then marketers, agencies and the industry loses in the long run. Over the past several days, some agencies have issued directives to production companies that are unilaterally pushing upcoming production options out of L.A. The fact is L.A. is a large area, and many sections of the city and county are not directly impacted... Read More
