Atlantic Visits Death Row For Channel 4
One of our favorite films of all time is 1990's Academy Award winner for Best Picture "Ernest Goes to Jail," starring Jim Varney. We're pretty sure he won Best Actor for it, too. Or at least was nominated. (Sorry, we're not about to fact check that because you can't...
Atlantic Assists NOVA in “Making North America”
You could argue that Atlantic is the most North American of production services companies, and you might be right about that! So, it's no more fitting that we were called upon to assist in the creation of an episode for NOVA's "Making of North America" documentary...
Atlantic Goes to Mars…Sort Of
One of our big talking points is how we have experienced broadcast-quality crew members all throughout the United States. For a few days, we also had crew on location on Mars...by way of Torrey, Utah that is. We recently worked with PMA Films on some promotional...

Ushering in the “Dawn of Steel”

Atlantic Under the Big Top
Cirque Du Soleil encapsulates basically everything that is great about entertainment: fire-breathers, worldly circus stylings, live music, outrageous costumes, mind-bending (spine-bending?) gymnastics, colorful lights, and an enrapturing storyline. The show has toured...
Seamless Production
We were on set recently and used a seamless, or as it's sometimes called in the UK a "colorama." This normally isn't a big deal; tons of productions we run and that others run use seamlesses all the time. What makes this one different? Nothing especially. But we just...
Kibitzing in Video Village
All too often, bored crew members with little or nothing to do will gather 'round the monitors set up in video village and talk shop. Whether it's about the fanciful images projected on the monitors, their union dues, or the latest tawdry industry gossip, a lot of...
A Glimpse On Set
Just recently, we shot a series of stylized corporate videos for a major Japanese bank. Pictured here is some of our crew at work on a two Canon C300s, with a smokehouse-gray seamless from Savage. What's hard to make out here, though, is that we used Canon Cine...
