EV Safe Charge Makes it Easy to Provide EV Charging on Location for Cast and Crew
February 17, 2021
Event and production organizers at locations that need to accommodate electric vehicles on a temporary basis require portable solutions that can be loaded in and loaded out as needed. Meet EV Safe Charge, a provider of just such a solution based in Los Angeles, CA and serving the entire U.S. and Canada. The company's EV Charge Mobile products can deliver up to 50 kW of DC power or 9.6kW of Level 2 power and can connect to existing site power sources. In some cases, this means diesel generators but in others it can be a direct grid connection. Both the smaller Level 2 chargers and the larger more powerful DC fast chargers are available for rental short or long-term.Founder and CEO Caradoc Ehrenhalt and the entire EV Safe Charge team are excited to work with production companies to help bring EV charging to the set. "We are thrilled to work with the amazing companies who are creating great entertainment and more, and who are committed to being green. Mobile EV charging is something we make easy so that productions of all sizes can offer this green service to cast and crew" said Caradoc. To make the use of its products more sustainable, EV Safe Charge offsets the greenhouse gas emissions from any generators used on location by planting trees with the Arbor Day Foundation.EV Safe Charge rents equipment for cast and crew charging, on location shoots, on the lot shoots, premieres and wrap parties, or any other situation you may want EV charging. And their services aren't limited to just the LA metro area, EV Safe Charge has worked with customers across the country as well as in Canada.EV Safe Charge received incredible feedback following a deployment at an on-site location for cast and crew of a major Hollywood motion picture. Providing EV charging on-site allowed EV drivers to use their own vehicles instead of renting ICE vehicles, demonstrating the studio's commitment to being green and doing their part to preserve the natural environment they were shooting in. Caradoc said: "we are proud to provide these kinds of solutions for studios and productions companies. We pride ourselves on our commitment to the environment and making it easy for our customers to share in that commitment. Working with entertainment companies is so exciting and a real step forward on our mission to help green our planet with our easy EV charging solutions."The company first put its product in the field when it provided the charging solution to Jaguar, which needed charging to support ride-and-drive events in order to promote the launch of its I-PACE electric SUV. Caradoc added: "We were put through a rigorous vetting process. The project required a partner that could not only provide portable Level 2 and DC fast charging stations but also the logistical support and project management to handle charging on such a prestigious and arduous series of large-scale nationwide events."Since that first event EV Safe Charge has provided temporary EV charging solutions to major vehicle launches, corporate campuses and film shoots across the country and in Canada. EV Safe Charge works with you to schedule delivery, coordinate with your team for any training that may be needed, and is available for any and all technical assistance needs. Whether you are shooting on a studio lot in Hollywood with easy access to power or on a frozen lake in Bemidji, EV Safe Charge can provide you what you need for all your production EV charging needs - from a single vehicle to a fleet of vehicles they have a solution tailor made for you. In addition, the company provides fixed EV charger sales, installation and consulting. So whatever your needs in EV charging, EV Safe Charge has you covered.Please contact them today at 844-EV-FOR-ME or info@evsafecharge.com for all your EV charging needs, and visit them online at evsafecharge.com.Mountain View Locations is Open for Filming

February 1, 2021
Santa Monica, CA, Led by Grammy® Award winning composer, orchestrator, conductor and musician Jeff Elmassian and his Partner/Creative Director Dave Chapman, renowned music and sound design company Endless Noise has launched the "Endless Noise Music Library" with a strategic partnership with SoundCloud to provide a uniquely curated compilation of artists from their vast platform. The new library can be accessed here: https://library.endlessnoise.com/Initially comprised of 2,000 tracks including 500 songs, representing highly curated music tracks culled from the works of Elmassian, Chapman, and dozens of their award-winning in-house and freelance composers, the new Endless Noise Music Library plans to build itself up to 5,000 tracks, with the goal being to change those tracks every year. Concurrent with its launch, the new Endless Noise Library has already provided tracks for such high profile clients and film, TV, commercial and kids projects as: FILMS: the promotional trailers behind the upcoming Marvel feature film "Black Widow," the Disney movie "The New Mutants," the upcoming "Death on the Nile," and the upcoming "Crazy Rich Asians 2;" COMMERCIALS: spots for Miller Lite, NFL, Ford, MLB, Nordstrom and Adidas; TV: the new season of the NatGeo reality TV show "Life Below Zero," "Million Dollar Listings, "Claws," "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and "Black-ish;" KIDS TV: and the children shows "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie," "Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures," "Stinky and Dirty," and "Next Gen."In related news, Elmassian and Chapman have also just remixed a piece of existing music for a Ford commercial featuring the voice of Bryan Cranston. The duo also provided the musical editorial and arrangement of that existing track for this spot. At the beginning of 2021, Endless Noise has been hired to oversee all music, audio, and audio post-production for a new, upcoming streaming TV series called "The Box." The new Endless Noise Library in partnership with Soundcloud will be used to provide all of the music and songs for the new show, since the company's new library will also feature the songs of a handful of up and coming music artists who have hundreds of thousands of followers across their social media channels.According to Elmassian and Chapman, the Soundcloud relationship, which will help differentiate Endless Noise from any other music library by providing an unlimited number of fresh songs from new music artists, represents 'the future of the larger Endless Noise model.'Regarding the launch of their new library, Elmassian said, "After many decades of archiving our high-end music tracks, we have finally decided to open up our vaults and make our music available on a broad scale to the entertainment and advertising industries, as well as to the general public, for the first time ever. In partnership with SoundCloud, we have spent many hundreds of hours performing real-time curation of this new library, so that music supervisors seeking exciting music won't have to sit and listen to thousands of tracks from the huge music library houses that offer mile-wide choices, many of which have been used countless times before." Adds Chapman, "We are not here to compete with the APM's of the world - our new library is purposefully small and incredibly unique and diverse. We are perhaps the only music library that is run by musicians and composers - the same people who created these tracks. As a result, we will be able to remix the tracks at a level that no other library has the ability to do, since we understand the needs of producers, supervisors and editors in terms of being able to modify the music they've requested if necessary. The new Endless Noise Music Library in partnership with SoundCloud offers users high-end quality over quantity!"

January 27, 2021
From simple hinges for welding on to multi-joint hinges with complex kinematics, the Winco selection has everything needed for superior door and flap solutions-Including extra functions.You might think that when it comes to opening and closing, all the possibilities of hinges have already been exhausted. Not even close. Winco regularly succeeds in making further improvements to hinges, adding practical extra features or creating designs for very particular niche applications.For heavy duty applications, for example, try hinge GN 237.3, a compact, heavy duty hinge of stainless steel. With a 180° range of motion, these hinges can stand up to even high dynamic wear-regardless of the mounting orientation-thanks to special shim washers. Depending on the selected type, the hinge bands also have centering extensions that ensure a tighter fit-preventing sliding and eliminating the transverse forces that otherwise place extremely heavy loads on the screws. The hinge pin is secured against loss by a recess and supplied with lifetime lubrication. An asymmetrical band arrangement and the associated possibility of a third fastening hole proves its value especially when mounted in areas with thinner material cross-sections.The hinge series GN 235, on the other hand, can be mounted with socket head cap screws and-thanks to the offset axis-still swivels by 180° without collision. Horizontal and vertical slots simplify adjustment, and the hole pattern corresponds to existing hole arrangements, making it easier to replace existing hinges.Additional functionality is offered by hinges with variable friction, and in another Winco part, an integrated spring ensures independent return of the hinge. This special product range, which also includes integrated damping, indexing and locking functions, is being continually expanded by Winco.One kinematic highlight is already available from Winco: the multiple-joint hinge with either a 4x, 7x or 10x joint mechanism, which opens flaps and shifts their position at the same time. 180° is also standard here, and the internal installation once again makes use of slots. The GN 7237 stainless steel multiple-joint hinges are installed on the inside of flaps, hatches and doors to save space and ensure protection against vandalism. The hinges have a maximum opening angle of 180°, which provides optimal accessibility and avoids the blocking of escape routes by open doors, for example.With its design hinges GN 138, Winco offers solutions for appearance-sensitive applications: the closed hinge body of die-cast zinc hides the fastening screws and is available in various sizes-soon also in stainless steel.You can find more information online at www.jwwinco.com.ContactDirect: 262-957-5120Office: 800-877-8351Email: djhansher@jwwinco.comWeb: www.jwwinco.comA clean addition: New Stainless Steel Indexing Plunger in Hygienic Design
January 27, 2021
This new standard part keeps the application secured in place while the high surface quality finish prevents dirt from adhering.Hygienic cleanliness is not only an essential prerequisite in the food, medical, and pharmaceutical industries. Other areas of industry, such as the paint manufacturing process also take advantage of high hygienic standards.When using typical components, production machines and their environments require thorough cleaning. This means time-consuming costly disassembly and long machine downtimes, that is not the case when using components of hygienic design: These standard parts are made of high-quality materials with particularly smooth surfaces, making them significantly easier to clean, especially while still installed.To continue this trend, Winco is now expanding its hygienic design product family with a new indexing plunger. The new GN 8170 stainless steel indexing plungers are intended for use in areas requiring sanitary equipment. They are available in lock-out or non-lock out types with a sealing lock nut that creates a totally hygienic version or without a sealing lock nut.DGUV Test CertificationsThe following Hygienic Design products are now certified according to "DGUV Test":Stainless Steel Adjustable Levers GN 305Stainless Steel Cabinet "U" Handles GN 429 - Polished TypeStainless Steel Indexing Plungers GN 8170The DGUV Test mark "Hygienic tested" confirms that thehygienic requirements based on European regulations are met.More information can be found at www.jwwinco.comContactDirect: 262-957-5120Office: 800-877-8351Email: djhansher@jwwinco.comWeb: www.jwwinco.com
