Jenna Timmerman Wraps Up Film Mix

Writer/Director Andrew Dena brought his Master's Thesis film, Blackbird, to Jenna Timmerman for sound design and surround mix.

This is the fourth Dena film on which Jenna has worked, and it was by far the most complicated; requiring ADR sessions for several actors, all original sound design, and an immersive surround mix.

After a screening at Columbia College's Film Row Cinema, the short is awaiting acceptance in several film festivals across the country and abroad.

New DeVry University "Landscape" Campaign Features Cities

Chicago never looked so good in this new DeVry TV spot mixed by Michael Coyle.

The national campaign features several cities where the university has branches. The spots were produced by Anne Trout from Leo Burnett and our friends at Hootenanny (Jerem Sloan & Annelise Smith) handled the video edit.

Go ahead. YOU call him "Tiny!"

Small Agency of the Year, commonground, recently mixed a series of Coors Light commercials featuring the ongoing battle to see who is colder: Ice Cube or Coors Light!

Producer Antonio Burnett visited CRC55 along with the creative team of Nate DeLeon, Nathan Wyse and CD Mike Williams.

The spots provided a lot of fun opportunities for sound design. To see the spot titled, "Tiny", click the preview image.

RAID! Let's blow up some bugs!

Having recently won the RAID account, EnergyBBDO producer Adina Birnbaum brought a spot by CRC55 for sound design and 5.1 mix. (Do we need to say 5.1 mix anymore? They're ALL surround mixes!)

Longtime copywriting buddy Rick Hamann and his AD partner, Kyle Everett, stopped by to mix the commercial titled, "Two-Faced".

There's really nothing more fun than putting explosions in a commercial, so if you want to hear the final mix, click the preview image!

Everest Featured in Corona Spot

The band Everest is featured in the newest commercial by Cramer-Krasselt for Corona. Producer Rob Jaeger brought the spot to CRC55 for sound design and surround mix.

The biggest challenge was making the studio recorded music track feel as if it was performed live in a small club and then on a Cancun beach.

Michael and Jenna are hoping for the next spot they get to record the background sound effects on location in the Caribbean!

Yummy in a Jelly's Belly!

Leo Burnett Co. produced another beautiful commercial for Froot Loops. "Jelly" takes us undersea to the lair of a Jellyfish with electrical problem.

The team of Andrea Friedrich (producer), Hootie Giangreco (writer) and Anthony Cozzolino (art director) visited CRC55 for sound design and the final mix.

"My other car is a 600-ton Ore Hauler"

They call it "antifreeze", but it also prevents your engine from overheating. That's why if you drive a 600-ton ore hauler around Chicago, you'll want to make sure the radiator is filled to the cap with Peak.

Danielle Keenan from EnergyBBDO visited the studio with the creative team of Andrei Chahine and Ryan Stotts for this colossal Peak Antifreeze spot titled "Purchase".

Jenna Timmerman created the sound design and Michael Coyle completed the LKFS surround sound mix. It was a lot of fun working on this larger-than-life track. Click the preview image to watch the commercial.

Somebody, get her a pony!!!

Our little plaster friend is at it again!

The Travelocity Gnome is back on the air with his new agency, the Leo Burnett Company!

Producer Veronica Puc brought the series of spots to Michael and Jenna for sound design and surround mix. It was a great time recording the Gnome. (He's real, ya know!)

The first spot to run, "Deep End", was created by Britt Nolan (CW) and Mikal Pittman (AD). It will be followed by "Nooo!" from the creative team of Alan Shen and Chris Walker.

Working with Design Star Winner, Meg Caswell

Congratulations to Meg Caswell, the winner of this season's HGTV Design Star!

Yeah, it's a little nerdy, but Jenna and Michael have been closely following the show over the last ten weeks. So imagine their enthusiasm when the non-disclosure form came though before a TOP SECRET session for HGTV last month.

They could barely contain their excitement when they learned Meg was not only the Design Star Season 6 winner, but that she would be using CRC55 to record additional dialog for her new series, HGTV's Great Rooms!

Just as Jenna and Michael had hoped, Meg is as out going and friendly as she was on Design Star!

Good luck with the new show Meg!

Orbit Gum is FABULOUS!

We've always wanted to work on the quirky Orbit Gum account, and thanks to EnergyBBDO producer John Pratt, we have!

The team of John Fiebke (CW) and Tim Mattimore (AD) have created a commercial guaranteed to make you go, "Ewwwwwww!", in a good way, of course.

In fact, the network executives at ABC lost their lunch previewing the spot, so a special less-Ewww version was created just for them.
