Monumental Achievements Monumental Achievements Monumental received two bronze Telly Awards and one silver for their work completed in 1997. The Pinema Film Distribution Trailer release in Istanbul, Turkey received a bronze award. The project was directed and animated by Nick Rosendorf in Adobe After Effects and Softimage at film resolution. Production occurred in Atlanta and Istanbul with support from the Atlanta offices via the internet. The second bronze award was received in recognition of Monumental's 3/98 Showreel.

The silver award was received for Rosendorf's Director's Reel, showcasing music video direction for recording artists The Black Crows, Allegory, and Nihlist, as well as animation and broadcast design for The Coca-Cola Company. The intro sequence was shot by DP Matt MacCarthy with production design by Cedric Desouza and sculpture by Charlie Smith. The piece was transferred at Cinepost and on-lined at Monumental.

There also has been a monumental addition to the company's staff. Oliver Perrin becomes Director of Marketing. Perrin previously worked as Art Director and Copywriter at DNA Advertising and as Creative Director at Link Multimedia both of Istanbul, Turkey. Perrin will support to Monumental's recently launched globalization efforts. Aiming for international markets, Perrin's experience abroad will be very helpful. Monumental's Studio Manager, Jim Minter and his partner, Angel Marchionne ,are responsible for the latest addition to the Monumental team. Their daughter, Isabella, was born on April 29th. Minter was heard to comment, "I'll never sleep again, will I?"

Oz has not been sleeping well either. "Lending Monumental Support" on page 8 of the May/June issue of Oz incorrectly states that Monumental is working to promote cultural events in Atlanta for "Cultural Room." The name of the company is Culture Room. In addition, Monumental is incorrectly called Momentum in the article. Although, Monumental has a lot of momentum, we are sorry for the error.
