Rack Focus Post’s Shows Nominated for Six Awards
December 10, 2008 – Jason Brown
The Sportsman Channel has just released its Nominees for The Sportsman Channel Producer Awards that will take place in
Orlando during the SHOT Show next month. Own the Zone TV, a series I work as one of the Producers and all of us here at the post play the role as field producers and Prostaff in front of and behind the camera, has been nominated for four, the most for any series. OTZ-TV’s nominations include Best Intro, Best Editing, Best New Series and Best
The American Outdoorsman has been nominated for Best Big Game Show for “Austrian Adrenaline”, a show shot in the Austrian Alps chasing Stag, Chamois and Tar. A-Way Outdoors also has been nominated for Best Combination Show for a Whitetail/Pheasant Hunt shot in Kansas in the fall of 2007 by DJay Harter (Former Rack Focus Video School Graduate). Good friend and current Own the Zone TV Prostaff Member Mike Bowie was the TV personality for the show.
New Rack Focus Post Television partner, BackCountry Quest TV is also nominated for Fan Favorite TV Series. All the luck to them, we are really looking forward to working with the Keefer brothers next year and look to grab some more nominations for them in the upcoming seasons.
We’ll keep our fingers crossed, but there are a ton of great Television Series’ up for Awards, so just being nominated is a great accomplishment…but we want to win…ALL of them, of course.
Well, we finally got it done. Between getting episodes out the door, in-field production shoots, the whitetail rut of the mid-west, a four-month remodel and a multitude of other production projects…the new Rack Focus Post Production facility is complete. Set back in the White Pines of Northern, Michigan, the goal I had with our studio was making it more like a lodge than your typical post-production house. I wanted an open feel inside throughout the studio that would give us a creative atmosphere and reflect our company’s niche as a Producer within the Outdoor Industry.
design-savvy wife, Darci. I’ll be the first one to admit that this isn’t your textbook post-production facility…it doesn’t have the best sound proofing, the most advanced editing desks and chairs or state-of-the-art lightning fast network storage system…but it is damn nice and a place we will continue to translate great stories from the lens of a camera to millions of homes. After almost 10 years of running Jack Pine Productions, I can honestly say that I have looked forward to every single day I have gotten up and headed in to the studio. Whether we ran it out of the the spare bedroom, the basement or a miniature downtown Midland location, this new place we will spend the next who knows how long doesn’t make us a different company, it just makes it a little easier.
