Company Spotlight: Studio Center

Few production companies have what it takes to produce a commercial from script to final product. But leading video and audio production company Studio Center, does. Based in Norfolk, Virginia, Studio Center was founded by Warren Miller, and after 38 years and over 300,000 commercials the company was sold to William “Woody” Prettyman and Sunshine Wireless, Inc. Despite new ownership, the company continues to produce over 10,000 commercials annually for clients such as A&E, AOL, McDonald’s, Pepsi, Victoria’s Secret and the Washington Post.

So what’s so special about Studio Center? While most video production companies specialize in only one aspect of the commercial-making process, Studio Center offers a complete suite of services that run the gamut from casting assistance to motion graphics. Thus, instead of having to contract several different companies, clients can trust one company to handle the entire project and, most importantly, do a great job at it. Studio Center can provide clients with a full crew as well as a list of “extra” services, including voice actors, music clearance, script translation, script writing, copywriting and union signatory. There’s really no limit to what these guys can do. They can even write original music, or jingles for your commercial. So if you’re in the market for a video production company, check out Studio Center. The company has studios in Las Vegas, Memphis, New York, Richmond and Santa Monica.

Eminem claims Audi used his song without permission

Eminem has filed a lawsuit in Hamburg, Germany against Audi, claiming Audi has used his song “Lose Yourself” in an advertsiement without permission.

An US Audi spokesman said: “The video referred to is not an advertisement. Also, this does not involve Audi of America. The video was not shown here in the U.S.” The spokesperson was not able to make any further comments due to the lawsuit.

The advertsiment features an 2012 Audi A6 Avant being driven in the streets while Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” music is being played in the background. The advertsiement also resembles a Chrysler 200 advertsiement show in superbowl last year, which featured the same song, but Eminem was the driver in that one. It is not yet known if Chrysler will also file a suit.

Below you can see both the Audi and Chrytler ads.

Haley Reinhart leaves American Idol

In this weeks Ameircan Idol the Top 3 contestants faced off each other. In the running were Haley Reinhart, Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery.

Haley was the one voted off. It was a surprise that even she made it this far, because Pia Toscano who was a much better singer was booted off at the Top 7 show. However, Haley was a strong contender. Her singing is pretty good but not as good as Pia. It was probably her looks that got her this far.

My vote to win it all in the finals will be Scotty McCreery.

In the next weeks finals, several top artists will be performing, such as Beyonce and Lady Gaga.
