As you will probably notice from this month’s edition, we’ve been busy. We are excited to showcase a bit of the exceptional work we’ve been helping our clients achieve on both advertising and entertainment projects.
One such project, and the focus of the main feature for April, is HBO’s Somebody Somewhere. I had the pleasure of speaking with Cinematographer Shana Hagan, ASC and Harbor Senior Colorist Nick Hasson on their collaboration ahead of the show’s second season premiere (new episodes Sunday at 10:30pm on HBO and HBO Max). Hopefully you enjoy the article as much as I enjoyed meeting the two of them. Read on to learn about their approach to prioritize the intimacy between the characters and the audience.
On the advertising side, we bring you an interview with Steve Perski, Creative Director of Advertising Sound from ProTools. Steve discusses how he uses the program to elevate projects at Harbor and more specifically, how he crafted the rugged sounds of the GMC Sierra AT4X.
In the spirit of Earth Day and Sustainability month, our wonderful Studio Manager Lauren Stephenson brings us recommendations on sustainable brands for everything from fashion to greener production guidelines.
Before I leave you, I must (shamelessly) ask you to contribute. As the weather warms up, maybe your creativity has begun to blossom as well. If you’d like a place to channel that pent-up energy, contribute to the Harbor Monthly. We’d love to have you.
Happy Spring!
P.S. May is all about Music. You won’t want to miss it.
