Whether utilizing actual listeners, clever editing, striking cinematography or humorous interactions among key on-air personalities, we’re known for helping “radio people” come across superbly on television. We’re also known as much for our ability to work directly with key station personnel as for our aversion to simply knocking out cookie-cutter promos. With this in mind, we’re creating new approaches every day, even as we continue to adapt and expand on-going proven winners. In short, we’re the kind of film and TV folks who love radio. We get it, we understand it, and we excel at helping stations establish their brand with an impact in the ratings book.

Staff: We don’t carry the burdensome overhead of year-round staff, real estate and equipment. We prefer to employ both the latest advances in production technology and the most innovative editors. That means on-going relationships with the very best in-field production personnel in cities coast to coast.

On-Location: Ninety per cent of our production efforts take place in the city where the station is located. We come to you, and are thus, often able to capitalize on much that is unique about the station and the market.

Production Values: Our stuff looks good, because it has to - we shoot for Paramount, Warner Brothers and 20th Century Fox on a regular basis, providing regular location production services on a long list of prominent episodic network television shows. If you’ve seen New England sequences in shows like Ally McBeal, The Practice, Boston Public, Judging Amy, Cheers, Wings, Becker, St. Elsewhere, or Two Guys & A Girl , chances are we shot it.

Film vs. Tape: We’ll originate in whatever medium is most appropriate for the concept. Usually, it’s 16mm or 35mm motion picture film, but if utilizing a video format advances the cause (Beta, D-Beta, DVC), we’re happy to employ it.

Service: In this company, the key creative element is Bill Aydelott, and you get the main guy, personally directing every project, every promotion from start to finish. He strategizes with station managers, interacts with the talent and has his eye to the camera before every shot. He is also religious about promptly returning every phone call..

Repeat Business: We get a lot of it, because people appreciate the results and enjoy the experience. In an industry that, by definition, involves huge egos, we understand that it just isn’t any fun, if we don’t have a little, well... fun!  We commit to the client, we make our deadlines, we’re easy to work with, and we laugh a lot.
