The winter brought many to 11^th Street Communications. Russ Ensley and James Rowe of UPS escaped the cold, working with 11^th Street’s audio team on their ITVA VidFest award winning productions, “Ray Dunmeyer-Seeing is Believing” and “Picture This.” Producers Susan Kanellos of Blue Moon Productions and Pito Monteagudo of Creativision visited 11^th Street to create a meeting open and video program for Clarus’ annual conference. Artifact’s Ken Virgins supplied 3D animation for the video. Engineer Tom Race and Editor Phil Danserau created the multi screen presentation in virtual surround sound.

CNN-E called on Senior Editor/Compositor Bob Woodhead to create promos. Cartoon Network stopped by to create a pilot for the first spin off from “Space Ghost” with Producers Pete Smith and Jim Fortier. Turner Classic Movies’ Bill Goodman produced interstitial pieces on Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” with Editor Phil Danserau on AVID.

Another pair of shoes will become regulars at the studios. 11^th Street welcomed a new member to the team – Jim McKnight, formerly Senior Audio Engineer at Catspaw. 11^th Street also did some internal reorganization. In February, Synchronized Sound, 11^th Street Post and 11^th Street Interactive merged under one name, 11^th Street Communications. The three companies have grown over the years while the industries they serve became further intertwined. Because the three have already>th Street decided it only fit that they become one entity. President James Klotz said, “By combining the companies, it will allow us to operate more efficiently, economically, and better serve our clients.” Facilities, services, and staff will remain the same. The website will be updated to match the company’s new printed material and stationary.
