Abovo Marketing Group and Tube combined resources to produce an image video for MAPICS, Inc., a company that offers e-business enterprise applications to the manufacturing industry. Abovo’s Michael Douglas awarded the production and post services to Tube. The job began with a one day location shoot at MAPICS’ Alpharetta office. Tube Owner/Editor, Chris Downs directed the shoot with local DP David Lyman. The open on the video, which consists primarily of stock imagery coupled with Tube’s original animation and graphics, featured MAPICS headman, Dick Cook. Headquartered in Atlanta, MAPICS’s sales affiliates number over 75 and the company serves customers in more than 70 countries.

Tube welcomed a new member to its team. Jef Siler joins Tube as Assistant Engineer. The company also welcomed a 2001 Telly Award for a ten minute video they cut, mixed, and composited. Chris Downs cut the show entitled “More than Houses” for Habitat for Humanity. Casey Peery did audio post and mix while Maurice Novembre, Tube’s Lead De signer provided the graphic look and feel.
