"REP" LAUNCHED AS NEW SALES REPRESENTATION SOLUTION FOR INDIE MUSIC PUBLISHERS...
March 1, 2021
Los Angeles, CA & New York, NY, March 1, 2021 - Emmy Award winning music industry executive Jonathan Firstenberg has launched "REP." The new company has been designed to serve as a Sales Representation Solution for Indie Music Publishers and Independent Music Catalog/Asset Owners, allowing them access to increased revenues via Film, TV, Advertising, Digital, Broadcast and Non-Broadcast placements and sales. REP is comprised of a pool of experienced, independent sales and licensing representatives.REP has been designed to open doors and to introduce music catalogs and music product owned by its clients to licensees by pitching and licensing client music. REP will also share all searches and briefs with its clients while concurrently promoting its clients' brands. The new company's efforts will allow clients to focus on the creative and production side of music. REP will charge its clients $1,000 per month, with an initial three month minimum term - additional three month renewable terms will be available thereafter. The company will charge a 20% commission on sync usage based on license fees.Regarding the launch of REP, Firstenberg said, "When we have conversations with indie music composers and songwriters, owners of production catalogs and music houses, and indie song labels and publishers, they go something like this: 'I am getting placements, my sync revenue is growing, but I have to split my time between composing, recording, managing and selling. Although I have a large network of clients and fans, there are always new licensing opportunities out there that I am missing out on, since I simply don't have enough time in the day.' The experience of these musicians was the impetus for us to launch REP. Our goal is to serve as outside sales reps who can develop and expand our clients' rosters, respond to briefs on their behalf, and deliver sync, custom and blanket opportunities to our clients, aiding them in their revenue growth."THE REPS BEHIND "REP" ARE/figcaption>** Jonathan Firstenberg: Three-time Emmy Award winner Jonathan Firstenberg has experience working with major music publishers, TV networks and entertainment companies, including Universal, Zomba, BMG, HBO, ole, Disney, Proctor and Gamble, New World, Discovery and Sony.

February 26, 2021
For the majority of the last two decades I have made my living as a motion picture studio grip on sets, supporting camera and lighting. My favorite part of the job certainly is when it comes to light modification. Using different tools and techniques to move light around and paint the set with lumens is a real thrill and pretty magical. When the lockdown started I packed my car with gear from Matthews and headed to my home to produce instructional grip videos. Normally I work off of enormous trailers packed with all sorts of gear, but that was in the past. I had initially grabbed Matthews portable Road Rags Kit due to the fact that it would fit in my car. It was the first time I had to depend on it.Being an avid camper had me feeling like a pro when it came to assembling the sturdy aluminum frames of the Road Rags Kit. The 18"x24" dimension was perfect for my closeups and for lighting unit control. The best part was that there was no guessing when it came to the textiles-they were the same Silks, Silver Lame, Solids and Nets that I have been using on set for years. All Matthews portable light modifying kits offer the same selection of studio quality textiles used in their world class gear. No need to relearn the quality of your diffusion, bounces or negative fill. Swapping out standard studio flags with the Road Rags and replacing heavier, bulky stands with these kit stands really streamlined my lighting package and allowed me to achieve optimal results on the go as a one person production.BTS of GLP Films 2014 Journey Around the World - with MSE Lighting Support from Matthewsgrip on Vimeo.Using the Road Rags Kit was truly eye opening. Its overall portability, right down to the rugged Cordura travel bag is certainly a plus. Most importantly, I didn't have to learn a new system. As soon as the frames were built up, I had the same reliable tools that I am used to working with at my disposal. I was really happy that the quality of the light modifiers didn't suffer due to their wonderful portability.Covid-19 has Allowed RTPro Management Software to Continue Leading the Film Rental Industry

XM2 and Pursuit Aviation have recently collaborated to form XM2 PURSUIT which has combined two leading aerial cinematography companies into a single, integrated vendor with the ability to meet the specific needs of any production, on a global level. Their mission is to combine services normally offered by multiple vendors all under one roof which allows a production to minimize the number of crew on set, keep the budget down, and have access to the most specialized team members for the job. They have full-service offices, full-time staff and aircraft assets in Los Angeles, Atlanta, London, Gold Coast AUS, and Melbourne AUS, and are licensed to operate on just about every country.Though their primary focus is aerial cinematography, capturing content from a variety of platforms like helicopters, fighter jets and drones, their technology and skill does not end there. With in-house research and development teams that design, engineer and manufacture proprietary filming solutions, they have the ability to cater to the unique needs of any project, no matter large or small. XM2 PURSUIT have developed a number of in-house multi-camera VFX arrays with stabilized and fixed options, that can be configured to the specific geometries required of any post-production team. This complements their VFX data capture capabilities such as LIDAR and photogrammetry. In addition to this, they are equipped with a number of ground based camera platforms including electric bikes and RC cars.You may recognize their work in feature films like MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 7, STAR WARS: EPISODE IX, FAST AND THE FURIOUS 9, JAMES BOND NO TIME TO DIE, WESTWORLD Season 3 and more.

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.
