Beast Adds Jam Edit and Expands Into Atlanta

Beast editorial house has announced today that creative talent from Jam Edit, Atlanta's premier creative editorial company and RIOT have joined to launch a new Beast location in Atlanta. Following the successful co-location paradigm last month in Chicago, Beast in Atlanta will be located with the award-winning post production houses and sister companies Company 3 and Method Studios, who along with Beast are subsidiaries of Deluxe Entertainment Services Group Inc.

 

“This is the perfect time for us to invest in the Atlanta/Southeast market,” says Stefan Sonnenfeld, President of Deluxe Creative Services Group and Founder of Company 3.  “We’ve seen a sustained advertising industry presence coupled with the growth of feature film and episodic TV. We are well positioned to provide the community a fantastic group of artists, operators, technicians, strategists, workflow theorists, etc. That's proven to be a successful combination in the creative services business.” 

Jam Edit Founder and Senior Editor Eddie Kesler, Editor Jeff Jay and Executive Producer Molly Baroco along with RIOT Editors, Kyle Kramb and Matt Barron, have combined to launch Beast in Atlanta.

 

Collectively, the group has worked on commercial campaigns for Bud Light, Church’s Chicken, Delta Airlines, ESPN, Ford, Mitsubishi, New Era, Subway, Toyota and Verizon to name a few.

 

"We at Jam Edit are very excited to become part of the strong Beast Editorial family,” says Kesler. “We continue to provide high-quality creative editorial and gain robust resources and the latest technology, all with a global reach.”

 

Baroco notes, "Our commitment to the editorial craft and the values of a boutique post house are a perfect fit with Beast. I look forward to offering our clients the creative talents of our expanded roster and fantastic client services.”

 

Sound design and mixing services will continue to be provided to the commercial, broadcast TV and video game markets through the talents of Chris Basta, Matt Melberg and Erich Netherton, all very established and respected in their field.

 

“By co-locating Beast, Company 3 and Method in Atlanta, we offer end-to-end editorial, sound design and mixing, VFX, color grading and other finishing services to advertising, film and TV clients across the region,” says Suzanne Morris, VP of Operations, Deluxe Creative Services Group, Atlanta. “Combining the artistry of our talent with the technical efficiency of seamless workflows and remote collaboration among artists at studios in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston is our key differentiator.”

Renovations, slated for the first quarter of 2013, will add a state-of-the art, fully-networked facility to the list of capabilities at Beast, Company 3 and Method Studios in Atlanta.
