Creative Bubble and MI Post, two leading New York based post-production companies, announced a strategic alliance to provide cost effective solutions to meet the creative and technical work flow needs of clients facing today’s challenges. The two companies will package and co-market editorial, audio, color-correction, film-to-tape transfers, graphics, design, special effects, DVD, web and full service production services from Creative Bubble’s Fifth Avenue Union Square locality and MI Post’s midtown location near Grand Central Station. By pooling talent and technology the alliance will enhance the service offerings that address the technical and capital intensive challenges resulting from clients demand for economical high definition and digital work flow solutions.
“Every client is concerned about tight budgets and work flow solutions for the digital delivery of standard and high definition content. The alliance with MI Post enables us to add film-to-tape transfers, color-corrections and a midtown location to clients with no added capital expense for our company or mark-ups to our clients” states Rob Ortiz, Managing Partner of Creative Bubble.

The sentiments are echoed by Eric J. Bertrand, CEO of MI Post who states, “Creative Bubble expands our sound, graphic design and editorial offerings to clients in a fabulous downtown location.” Bertrand adds, “This is the first stage of our strategic alliance. We are in the planning stages of installing a state of the art Digital Intermediate color-correction suite within Creative Bubble’s facility.”

Creative Bubble’s award-winning talent provides editorial, design, sound, and production solutions for promos, marketing campaigns, broadcast packages, and original content projects. Creative Bubble’s creative expertise is enhanced by the company’s editorial, sound and graphics facilities featuring Avid Unity Media storage to provide seamless integration between Nitris, Symphony, Media Composer and Pro-Tool audio suites. The company also offers Final Cut Pro editing, 2D/3D graphics in After Effects and Discreet Flame Suites.

MI Post is a full service post-production facility specializing in commercials, episodic television, promos, features films, music videos, documentaries and corporate. Along with their talented creative and technical team, MI Post offers film-to-tape transfers with Spirit and DSX Telecine systems. Their non-linear color-correction is performed with a DaVinci Resolve, complimented by a DVS Storage Area Network system and their linear color-correction is performed on one of two Pogle systems. MI Post also has the ability to edit and conform using their Smoke, Flame and Final Cut, in addition to an Avid Symphony Media Composer and two HD Avid Symphony Nitrus systems, integrated with an Avid Unity Media storage system.

“The current economic turmoil combined with increasing demand for high definition and digital production solutions are a tremendous challenge for clients and companies providing post production services. The goal is to maximize the collective resources of both companies, packaging creative solutions to clients, that will enable both companies to thrive in response to this challenge,” concludes Bertrand.
