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.

Recent News: 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!

Recent News: "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.
Recent News: 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!
Recent News: Honey, the talking fridge made me do it!
What? Your fridge doesn't talk to you?
In the newest campaign for T.G.I. Friday's Frozen Dinners, a chatty freezer reminds our buddy that when you're looking for a meal, frozen doesn't need to mean boring!
Edited by Greg Sunmark from RedCar and mixed in surround by Michael Coyle, the funny fridge features the voice of Chicagoan Brian Stack.
Producing for Cramer-Krasselt, Peter Norman stopped by for the mix with copywriter Dan Catterson and his art directing partner Chad Verly.
You can view "Freezer Transformation" in our Gallery by clicking the preview image, and then visit Dan's Vimeo page to see the entire campaign (plus some TV for Porsche and Corona we also mixed!).

Recent News: Need an Irish Rooster in Your Next Commercial?
Recently I was in Ireland with my sister for a week of vacation and to visit some family. We stayed at the home of our Uncle Frank, a retired Gentleman Farmer, who has a variety of fowl, the most entertaining of which is The Rooster.
His daily calls were so clear and cliche that I had to record him. Click the preview image to see him strut his stuff and crow!
It's a common misconception that a rooster's call is, "Cock-a-doodle-do!" when everyone knows what they really say is, "Michael-Coyle's-cool!"
Recent News: Attention: Step Away from the Cheese!
The newest Kraft Cheese commercial from McGarryBowen
is a classic case of misdirection. As the Bomb Squad arrives at the
park, helicopters fly overhead, and our hero in full protective gear
slowly moves towards the mysterious container...
Michael Coyle's goal for the sound design was to lead viewers to believe they were watching a promo for Fringe or 24.
Based on the comments he has received from friends and family - it
worked! The surround sound mix was especially fun with park ambiance and
circling copters moving around the room.
Produced by Stacy Miller with the creative team of Dave Reger and Michael Staznickas, the stereo version of "Bomb Squad" can be seen by clicking the preview image.
